If this generation could just have a Rush, Saunders, Hughes, Bellamy, Hartson, just one of those to go with what we've got, we could mix it up on a higher level if need be. Hopefully someone comes through but I think we've got another 3 years at least with Kieffer, he was late into the pro game and he's going to want it all to go on as long as he can, he clearly loves playing for Wales too. Wanted to pick up on the last comment- people were on his back a few months ago bizarrely because he didn’t celebrate a Wales goal and looked pretty annoyed. Seeing in his interview after the game on Tuesday he spoke about the pride and togetherness in the camp so I think whatever anybody thought before he does seem to be very keen on playing for Wales. |

I have been massively surprised by Kiefer Moore
When he first came in and scored 2 or 3 goals I though he would only have a short term impact looking at his age and the circumstances of his goals and when I saw his poor technique with a couple of shots at goals versus Hungary at home.
How wrong was I !!!
His shooting has massively improved and him and Dan James have consistently been our most impactful players over the past 2 years, despite the higher potential of Ramsey, Bale and poor Brooks, who have all been held back by injuries.
A player like that is worth his weight in gold. I really hope he gets his Premier League move - the man deserves it and it would be a big encouragement for everyone struggling at times in their career to keep working hard.

His name is doing the rounds amongst the Burnley fans with Chris Wood on the verge of moving to Newcastle for 20 million.
Not sure that’s a good move for him right now, the Burnley fans are presumably throwing his name out there because he’s a typical Dyche striker and cheaper than Wood, but they don’t seem enthusiastic and a few are hoping they will sign Origi instead. Origi to Burnley would be absolutely mental 😂

The Sgorio commentators mentioned a rumour linking him with Bournemouth during the Cardiff game on Sunday. That would also be a poor move given he would have Solanke in front of him

I’m not sure there are many fans who get excited about big awkward target man strikers these days. Everyone wants a fashionable name from the continent- even Burnley fans! 😂 |

To be fair, if I weren't Welsh, I would see a 29yo striker who has a fairly mediocre record of 6 goals in 28 games in the championship this season and, prior to last season, his best tally was 10 goals in the championship for Wigan and 17 in League 1 for Barnsley. But I am Welsh, so I know he's much more than that! |

Yeah, fair point that! 😂 although can I just say the bar has been set so low by our strikers in recent years that I was actually quite enthused to see Moore play, such is the nature of our selection issues we have to give lads like him (and that Mullin) a game or two and see how they go. I never would have pictured him scoring crucial equalisers against Switzerland and Belgium though! What an impact he’s had. Fair play to him |

Yeah I think goals in some ways are a bonus with Moore because even as a target man (for Wales) he’s been more effective than Vokes etc. He’s scored a handful for Wales on top of that and for whatever reason he always seems to score crucial ones. If he does move this window his new club better not flog him to death! |

Far more mobile and effective than Vokes who of course played over 200 times at Burnley. Dyche will surely see him as a great option if Wood does leave |

Dyche will surely see him as a great option if Wood does leave If it’s any consolation a local journo was reporting that Burnley are wanting to move to a mobile front three and are looking at pacy players (in the same mould as Cornet) to spend the Wood money on. So it sounds like Brennan Johnson is more their preferred choice of player than Kieffer. Hope so as I don’t think it would be a great move for him with Burnley looking very much like they are relegation bound this season. |

Would this be a good move? Presumably he'd be second choice behind Solanke

Two clubs in for him and discussing fees with Cardiff per twitter. Bournemouth assumed to be one.
As a Cardiff fan I think its best for all concerned to let him leave him now provided any fee is reasonable

Good for him, hope he gets to play in the Premier League at least once. Cardiff need to transition to a different style of play, so as well as he's done for us it's probably time for us to part ways
Will likely be a 2nd choice for Bournemouth but I'm sure he can be a good impact for them if they need goals

He seems to have downed tools for Cardiff since his move to Wolves didn't materialise over the summer. That, combined with his refusal to get vaccinated and missing a significant amount of games as a result means it's probably best for Cardiff to cash in while they can.
From a Cardiff perspective I'm disappointed with how this has all turned out. I thought he might stay a while and be more committed to be honest, especially with the Welsh connection, but oh well. Shown himself to be just another mercenary. And before anyone says they don't blame him for leaving Cardiff as it's a sinking ship etc, let's not forget he's partly to blame for the position they find themselves in.
From a Wales perspective I suppose it could be good if he got a move to the PL but I don't think he's actually good enough to play there consistently. He'd only ever be a back up at that level. Bournemouth isn't a great move imo either - no chance of being first choice ahead of Solanke, and they're far from guaranteed to get promoted anyway. I feel this could all backfire on him and he'll be stuck as a back up in the Championship for 18+ months. Hopefully we move away from being reliant on him anyway as his career could already be on a downward trajectory.

His impact on the national stage completely belies his somewhat mediocre club career. He deserves a chance to play at the top level and I just hope he gets a fair crack at it. |

Sounds like things have come to a natural end for both parties, but downed tools in what way? Is he not working as hard as he does for Wales? He’s also been in and out of the side this season hasn’t he? Has that been tactical as well as Covid? |

Doesn't seem to have the bottle for a relegation fight. Most of the games he's missed have been because of covid (either due to him having it directly, or him having to isolate after being a close contact since he's not vaccinated), or due to minor niggling injuries that in hindsight could very well have been him trying to avoid playing to keep himself fit for a January transfer. Certainly not tactical because despite his poor form he's still by far our most dangerous player. |

I'll be gutted if he goes to Bournemouth, I don't think he'd be a good fit there. I'd rather he wait until the summer and see what's on the table, January is always a weird time to move I think. I'm a massive fan of Moore, I don't want him wasting his prime years.

It does sound positive from a Welsh point of view that even playing in the seemingly non-commital way that he is it sounds like he is still comfortably a good championship player. I guess he wants a new challenge further up the table than a scrap down the bottom (although Cardiff should be in no bother of relegation) so it’s for the best for Wales it seems that he gets a move and gets back to his best form. |

Having a medical at Bournemouth. He'll barely kick a ball between now and the end of the season unless Solanke gets injured.
