Rumour: Reading FC set to sign Cardiff striker Etien Velikonja on loan - unconfirmed. #ReadingFC #Bluebirds

Haven't seen this anywhere else on here..

Not sure where they received this info from so could be BS and as for the player, I've never heard of him.

[Pepe the Horseman]

24 year old Slovenia international. Was the most expensive player to come out of the Slovenian league, but for some reason has never been able to break into the Cardiff side.

[Lacoste]

I can only imagine it would be him plus another, higher profile striker if he were to sign.

Surely we wouldn't rely on just him, someone who has already failed in the Championship.

[Harrydog]

would imagine he will get some game time otherwise we else would you bring him in on loan.
had a good record at Maribor. if he's quick would be a good addition

Can we stop this American rubbish please.

i'm assuming that would mean any words or phrases that are commonplace in the English language would also therefore not be permissible.

Hasnt failed. You can only fail at something if you are allowed to attempt it.

No worries!!! (Australian rubbish ok?)

Too right!

[Mintymurray]

Hell no!

[Cobi]

Cardiff mate of mine says this is done and dusted and will be announced this week. Season loan with option to buy in the summer.

He's supposed to be a very promising forward with a good finish but his fellow Slovenian's felt he made a big mistake going to Cardiff and that it was a year wasted.

[One8Seven1]

He's only 5'10", so there's still another to come in when Pog finally fcuks off. His fee to Cardiff was reported to be 2m euros and he signed a 4 year deal last summer.

"Despite a prolific goalscoring record for Cardiff's Development Squad, Velikonja found first-team opportunities limited during his first season at the club, but was rewarded for his patience with a start up front at Hull City on the final day of the title-winning campaign."

What type of striker is he? Can he play as a lone forward..

[Divvy]

He's not the tallest, so he isn't the answer to Pog going, which is encouraging. His record is decent pre Cardiff last year, but he impressed for the reserves, just couldn't get in a title winning side which is no discredit to him. Cardiff fans seem to like him too. Could be a clever loan, but we need a big man to come in as well.

[Cobi]

Cardiff seem to think it's done and the loan will do him good.. do him good for us if we have the option to buy. they shouldn't be too pleased if they really rate him.

Yeh just doing some research on him, would be a worthwhile gamble but we still need a target man assuming Pog is leaving..

[SPARTA]

He's a bit of a squirt at 5'10 but then he's seems to have something about him. We're still crying out for a target man though! This is all based on one Reading fan claiming to be ITK, so lets not count any chickens just yet.

[Ian Royal]

No offence, but I hardly think we'll be focusing out striker replacement policy for Pogrebnyak solely on height.

[SPARTA]

We're in need of two strikers - one as it stands, and one more when Pogrebnyak goes. One of those will be a target man. This chap isn't, from the descriptions I've come across this evening, a target man of any sorts.

[blythspartan]

Could this mean Pog going the other way to Cardiff?
