When did he say that? I thought his departure was us trying to offload high earners?

True but I'm sure the board paid for his taxi to Brentford...
Either way he'll be gone soon which means we need an experienced CB or two...

Sounds a bit like 'I never fancied you anyway' after a snub by a girl you quite liked. We're going to need players like Ward next season to provide a core and some balance with the youth that KM will be bringing in. No point in getting offended when players suggest that there are other options out there. They're not fans like we are, and have their careers to think of.

Caddis should take a look at Fods.....now here is a player after Preston away who could have dropped tools and left us in the shit....but no he got on with winning the LGE 1 keeper of the year and signing an extension on his contract.
After the humiliation Paolo gave him i applaud him big time.
Now i think Caddis is a decent player but his attitude last year was shocking...and his interview in The Adver tells me his heart isn't here.

His attitude according to PDC was shocking.... as was Wes 'absolutely the worst professional ever' Foderingham and Alan 'Doctors note' McCormack. I think it's fair to say nearly every player fell foul of PDC's unique management style at some point, some came to light I'm sure plenty didn't. Caddis was a league winning captain that got shipped out, of course he wasn't going to be singing the clubs/PDC's praises shortly after leaving. It's old ground now but I don't get the vitriol of some towards him.....He'll move on we'll move on... |

In his shoes, I'd probably be saying the same. He's 25, and he can do better than Swindon next season. He knows it. We know it. Much as I would love him to dig in and have a second stint with us, I really don't expect it. That article was a simple 'come & get me' to the 23 Championship clubs who aren't Birmingham.

Agreed. I also have no doubt that Caddis will put the effort in as long as he's here. |

To be fair to you...many agree with your view on him.....as i say good player but his heart isn't here anymore. As for Ward i can't agree with Tans.....he came through a sticky patch last year and was a good player...unlike Caddis he didn't want to leave....the club want rid because of his wages. |

Let's be honest, effort isn't enough. Attitude is critical and having a head-down professional but unsettled Caddis about won't be helpful. He was our championship winning captain and has a special place here but times have changed on both sides.
Every manager wants the right attitude in their squad and when they don't get it the end is usually nigh. How a manager achieves the right attitude in a squad - or fails - is different. PDC tolerated a casualty rate to achieve a good attitude in the squad as a whole. Wilson lost Greer and then tolerated a bad attitude spreading from his captain Douglas like Japanese Knotweed.
KMac needs a standout captain for our squad and an unsettled ex-captain won't help.

Caddis should probably be sold off ASAP but I'm more than sure football is littered with many examples of unsettled players who have more than adequately 'got on with it' until their exits are completed.

Caddis and his agent have been whoring themselves out to different clubs since the start of last summer.
Make him train with the youth team this year like Chelsea did with Malouda.
