FA CUP: NEWCASTLE 1 CARDIFF 2 - Perfect Start For Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

When Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was asked about transfer targets after Cardiff's historic FA Cup win at Newcastle, he was understandably keen to focus on the day's achievements rather than speculate about the future.

But after saying he intended to boost the squad, the new Bluebirds boss gave a glimpse of a playful character and perhaps another sign that he might be the right man for the club after their first win at St James' Park since 1963.

"Actually, I was thinking maybe we could go with the local [Welsh] lads," he said, with a grin beginning to appear on the 40-year-old's still-youthful face.

"I've been thinking to ask the owner about [former Manchester United team-mate] Ryan Giggs, [Arsenal's] Aaron Ramsey, [Real Madrid's] Gareth Bale, maybe they are the targets."

"It is a fantastic challenge. Cardiff are ready to take the next step up. I hope I can help them," said Solskjaer, who replaces the sacked Malky Mackay.
"I've always dreamt of being a manager in the Premier League and I'm delighted to get the opportunity.
"I am really looking forward to convincing the Cardiff fans that I am the right man to take them forward.
"I will try to convince the fans with my hard work, loyalty and my brand of football. I'm a very positive manager."
