Cardiff City transfer news as FC Midtjylland reveal reason they were 'happy' for Sory Kaba to join Bluebirds

These are the headlines coming out of Cardiff City the day after deadline day.

FC Midtjylland 'happy' for Kaba to move

FC Midtjylland have revealed they have allowed striker Sory Kaba to join Cardiff City because he wants more responsibility than they can currently give him.

The Guinean forward joined the Bluebirds with 15 minutes to spare on deadline day. Kaba's name became known to WalesOnline over the weekend and we reported he was due to a Bluebirds medical on Tuesday morning. However, during their game with Luton Town later that evening, it emerged some complications had arisen - but luckily they were ironed out in time.

On their website, FC Midtjylland said in a short statement: "We have had a good dialogue with Kaba, who wants a bigger role in the team than we can give him at the moment," said sports manager Svend Graversen. "That is why we are happy that he is now getting a good opportunity in English football, and we wish him the best for the rest of the season."

Cardiff face a trip to Hull City this weekend where they hope Kaba will be in the ranks to boost their options up top.

Coach leaves immediately

The Sabri Lamouchi era didn't begin with a win unfortunately but it has seen an immediate coaching ticket shake-up.

On Tuesday night the Frenchman confirmed goalkeeper coaching Graham Stack had left the club.

"He is not in the staff anymore," Lamouchi said on Tuesday when asked why Stack wasn't in the Cardiff dugout.

Sol Bamba, Dean Whitehead and Tom Ramasut remain part of the coaching staff, while academy goalkeeping coach James Wood, son of former Cardiff keeper George, was at Kenilworth Road on Tuesday.

Free agents Bluebirds could sign

Despite the Bluebirds getting Kaba over the line, more additions are needed and indeed wanted.

Cardiff searched high and low for a left-back as the days, hours and minutes ticked down to Tuesday night's deadline but to no avail.

Looking at players currently without a club is not something Lamouchi is against.

When WalesOnline asked the Frenchman about the free agent market on Tuesday evening, he replied: "I need to talk with the club. They know exactly what we need. Not what the manager needs, what the team needs. We will see tonight and probably in the next day."

We've put together a list of free agents the Bluebirds could sign right now.
