Under the tutelage of Neil Warnock, Cardiff City have indeed seen a revival as he saved the blushes of the Championship outfit’s faithful with a series of decent results. However, they must be aiming to grab a promotion spot next season which could only happen when they leave no room for complacency and fill their squad with quality within their budget. Here are three players Warnock could possibly lure under his command in the summer.
Jamie Mackie
With merely 11 starts for Queens Park Rangers so far this campaign, Jamie Mackie has found his opportunities of leading the line for the London-based club as an inconsistent one. Nonetheless, he has mustered 1 goal and registered 2 assists and one of the primary reasons as to why Cardiff City should be acquiring him is the fact that he could ply his trade anywhere across the attacking midfield zone and can be stationed up front as well.
He has had to deal with plenty of injuries which blighted his career to a significant extent but make no mistake, he is potentially a very aggressive player who could create a lot of havoc in the opposition’s defence with his pace and movements.
Fraizer Campbell
With no league starts assigned to him so far in the Premier league, it is high time for Crystal Palace’s out-of-favour striker Fraizer Campbell to drop himself down into the Championship to redeem the best out of him as marginal amount of opportunities has been handed to him.
The 29-year-old has had an 18-month spell with Cardiff City previously and had impressed during his time at the Cardiff City Stadium and considering that his contractual relationship with the Eagles expires in the summer, he could be a very handy and free acquisition for Warnock owing to the perception that he could be a fine attacker if handed a vote of confidence from the manager.
Leon Britton
Swansea City’s veteran midfielder Leon Britton is edging closer to the concluding stages of his playing days and has fierce competition for a place in the starting line-up under Paul Clement’s regime. The Bluebirds should be keen to add a dynamic and combative midfielder like Britton who has plenty of experience of English football and who could help them in their push for a promotion next season.
He has collected 12 league games under his belt this term and before he hangs up his boots, he would like to get himself regular game time, which Cardiff City are seemingly likely to render to him.
