The Verdict

With Sawyers clearly excited by the prospect of featuring for Cardiff, it will be interesting to see whether he will be able to hit the ground running next season.

Having made 194 appearances in the Championship during his career, the former Walsall man knows exactly what it takes to compete at this level and thus could prove to be a good addition to Cardiff's side.

Assured whilst in possession of the ball, Sawyers may be able to dictate play from the heart of midfield in the upcoming campaign as he recorded a pass success rate of 85.2% in the second-tier last season.

Providing that all of Cardiff's new arrivals are able to build an understanding with each other, there is no reason why the club cannot go on to achieve a relative amount of success in the coming months.
