Getting closer?.............. https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2018/12/...ty-leading-premier-league-quartet-in-18m-emi/ EDIT......Here's an online translation of the French report....... Emiliano Sala, Cardiff is here... Stop or what? This is a real dilemma facing FC Nantes. An offensive Leader of the Canaries with twelve goals, co-top goalscorer of the championship, the Argentine is indispensable to the success of the season of the NCF. However, the contractual situation of the player challenges... Indeed, under contract until June 2020-unless it prolongs-, the twenty-eight-year-old player could offer a nice tumble to the NCF this winter or next summer. Then it'll be too late. Several times on the start (Brighton, Watford, Malaga or Udinese), Sala has finally remained in L1, notably because FC Nantes has to pay 50% of the amount of the sale to Bordeaux, its trainer club. From the start of the hunting of the scorers, the Premier League (Fulham, West Ham, Crystal Palace and the Rehampton) will return to the load with offers expected around 15 or even 20 M € with bonus. But it's mostly Cardiff City that seems the hottest. Discussions have already taken place around the player's case. This is the last opportunity for the NCF to make a big gain. In case of departure this winter, you will have to find another major striker, anything but a chore!
Not sure about the translation. Concerned about what sort of deal could be done as well. Relegation is still a possibility and we don't want to be lumbered with large ongoing costs. If it was my money I wouldn't commit..... .....but it isn't, so come on Tan, get your wallet out!!!!
Another one in the mixer. I've watched him a few times this past couple of seasons and he's certainly got something about him, but Prem quality?.... https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2018/12/12/report-hulls-jarrod-bowen-targeted-by-fulham-and-cardiff/
I think he was on City’s books as a youngster. Not the sort of player needed for a relegation dog fight.
One for the future (again) ........................ If the future's the Championship. Bit like the guy from Forest.
Latest gossip on the Nantes forward. Interesting comments https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/who-emiliano-sala-would-join-15540526
Read that on the train on the way to work this morning. Still not sure why they have us as front runners. Would be nice to get an early signing over the line though.
A bit of a non story given that while bookies may be giving odds, we're by no means favourites for any of them. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/four-players-bookies-taking-bets-15545649
Pardon?...................... Sheffield Wednesday have received a £3million offer for goalkeeper Keiren Westwood from Cardiff City, who was touted with a free transfer to Leeds earlier in the week. (Sheffield Star)
What? I know Etheridge is away in the new year (which is a disaster given Smithies is an unknown quantity) but this is just rubbish
Yes a complete non-story. It’s basically a trainee journo scouting the betting pages and looking for all odds for CCFC. None of those players interest me as they’ve either not played football all season or are not what we need.
Not sure what this is about either. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/cardiff-city-talks-sign-former-15545401 I know you find late developers, but ........ And one on the way out? Cardiff striker Ibrahim Meite, 22, is set to leave in January, with Watford and West Brom interested in the Englishman, as well as clubs in Russia, Germany and France. (Mail)
Interesting read from Warnock regarding the hierarchy and support staff. Obviously looking well into the future, not just the here and now. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport.../neil-warnock-speaks-link-liverpools-15550902
