Bluebirds' cup success would be real sweetener for Miguel
10:14am Saturday 17th May 2008
Comments (29)MIGUEL Comminges will become an honourary Welshman for the day today as he dreams of completing a meteoric rise in English football with a European adventure.
Town's Guadeloupe international revealed his Cardiff City move was still on the cards and admitted an FA Cup final win for the Bluebirds would make the switch even more attractive.
Comminges, currently in Paris, was quick to deny any rumours Plymouth Arygle were set to hijack his move to Wales with late interest, revealing his agent was currently working on closing the deal at the Ninian Park outfit.
While already looking forward to the challenge of Championship football, Comminges knows a Cardiff victory against Portsmouth in today's Wembley showpiece would give him the bonus of a UEFA Cup campaign.
Having just arrived in English football last summer, the 26-year-old admits his rise has even surprised himself as he contemplates mixing it with some of Europe's finest.
He said: "Of course I will be cheering on Cardiff. It won't be easy because Portsmouth are a good side but I believe they can win.
"Although the move to Cardiff is still not definite, obviously for me it would be good to play in Europe next season. That is where some of the best players in the world play.
"I really enjoyed playing League One with Swindon and it does surprise me I could be playing Championship and European football so quickly.
"I don't think I will be able to watch the final because I will be with a friend in Paris but I will watch out for the result and would be very pleased if Cardiff could surprise people and win the game."
Comminges' future has been shrouded in mystery ever since he turned down a contract extension at the County Ground in favour of a bid for Championship football.
He and Cardiff were quick to deny Town's claims a deal with them was set to be sealed although both admit talks are ongoing.
Comminges told the Advertiser yesterday he was "very hopeful" something would be sorted with the Welshman, revealing he was waiting for news from his agent.

As for the FA cup, I hope Cardiff win it. Would hate the cup going to Wales, but I'd love to see a championship team win it.

Maybe the club should have signed him for 2 years instead of the one???
So he gave good service to our club, who can blame him for wishing to play in the championship and earn more $$$$
"GOOD LUCK TO HIM"
No need for all these negative comments if we were offerd better prospects if honest we would all go for it

I really don't want to read articles about a player who means nothing to the club. I know the newspaper is struggling for stories now the season is over but please don't fill it with drivval about Miguel. I am more interested in what is happening at the County Ground.
