Etuhu joins Cardiff on loan

As confirmed by the Cardiff official site.

Etuhu has plenty of promise, but, similarly to the likes of Ishmael Miller, and more recently Ched Evans before him, the Championship is ultimately the probable level for him. A good move for both parties though, as his options will be limited this season (particularly now Vladimir Weiss has moved ahead of him in the pecking order), but it will be a chance for him to get a full season of regular action behind him.

The piece suggests that Cardiff beat off Wolves and Portsmouth for the signing. This I can't really understand, as surely a better test of where he stands would be to send him out to a Premier League side?
