We should try and loan him if he's that good then.
Are Cardiff City trying to mimic the big Premier League clubs spending money and then loaning players out?
It appears to be some sort of balance sheet manipulation with a loan fee cancelling out a significant chunk of the transfer fee. The outbound transfer fee must be in installments and the loan fee granting some sort of positive cashflow against the said payments.
I don’t get this theory of buying to loan out when you are a pretty low level club without huge finances.
Kortrijk is a club that Vincent Tan also used to own so it's al most as if Cardiff have been used to buy him for that club. Obviously some sort of a financial workaround of some kind as I'm sure Cardiff would want a player who could score goals for them.

I don’t see why a player - unless terribly advised - would go for it
The Belgian team he’s playing in will be a step down from Salzburg so he should worry about development.
Cardiff are with all due respect in the cadre of teams that could go down this year (they could also have a good season) so it’s a bit of a risk as to where they’ll be next year.

I can only assume it's some kind of financial workaround if/when he ends up at another Tan owned club. I wouldn't be very happy as a Cardiff fan when the first team is in such clear need of bolstering. Be funny if they go down either way.
Player transfers and FFP workarounds are other areas that needs to be looked at. This deal doesn't make any sense, it's up there with the mags signing a reserve goalkeeper for millions with no intention of ever playing him.

Weird deal this. Some tax dodge ? Maybe couldn’t get a permit?

For why is this bumped? Has there been an exciting development in provincial Belgium?

3 appearances for Kortrijk, no goals. Probably wasn't what we needed - I thought he wasn't what we needed at the time 
I also thought Cannon would be class and was gutted he went to Stoke, and he's been shit by all accounts so shows what I know

Isidor wants to be here and tbf to him looks really happy ..cannon chose the money and its not yet worked out.3 appearances for Kortrijk, no goals. Probably wasn't what we needed - I thought he wasn't what we needed at the time

Maybe there a life lesson there
We already had Isidor when we were linked with Simic. I think we probably passed on Simic in favour of Abdullahi for our development project striker.
its show our recruitment team are carefully invest for our team's identity no matter how good player are. I think they are looking for a technically players that suit our style of play.3 appearances for Kortrijk, no goals. Probably wasn't what we needed - I thought he wasn't what we needed at the time

Isidor looks a step above as well - his technique is excellent. He's also absolutely tapped as well, which I love.
