Moore form highlights Cardiff’s attacking woespublished at 16:34 15 February
Image source, Getty ImagesCardiff City manager Erol Bulut believes the club are still short of a striker after missing out on the January signing of Kieffer Moore.
The Wales international is already showing the Bluebirds what they missed out on.
Since opting to join Ipswich on loan until the end of the season, Moore has scored three league goals in three games.
That’s as many as Cardiff’s recognised central strikers Yakou Meite, Kion Etete and Famara Diedhiou have managed between them so far this season - and just two fewer that top goalscorer in the Championship Perry Ng who has five.
“We tried a lot [to get Moore]” said Bulut.
“I know from the board they pushed really hard to get him but his decision was to be with Ipswich, we have to respect it.
“I tried hard, players tried hard because we had many talks with him.
“The board was trying hard, but in the end it was the decision of the player.
“He decided to be with Ipswich, maybe he gets some extra things there.
“So then we have to look for other players and we didn’t have time.
“We knew we had to wait until the end of the window to get him but I also wanted another striker before, so that’s why we got Famara Diehiou.
“We tried at the last moment to get Kieffer also but there wasn’t enough time in the end.”
