Sky reporting City targeting 3 - Sala, Tameze and Marseille winger Clinton N'Jie...

https://www.skysports.com/football/n...ansfer-targets

Good luck there, then, boys :thumbup:

Have they signed yet?

There’s a difference between having targets and actually signing players

Strange. I was just thinking this morning, "what City really need, is another winger".

It can be a long process but we should be able to improve the squad even if it's in the short-term. Interesting to see Warnock identify Ligue Un as similar league to premier league and go to that market with such focus.

Is this true Welshlad?

Does anyone know if they're any good? Anyone watch French football or actually have an interest in it?

Never heard of Tameze before he was linked with us. N'Jie was signed by Spurs a few years ago and made no impression at all. They then swapped him for N'Koudou, who has also not made an impression... that doesn't fill me with confidence.

Contrary to some of the above comments, he seemed to be more of a forward than a winger when he was at Spurs but I haven't heard anything of him since he went back to France, so I'm not sure if that's still the case.

Things change quickly so reluctant to say too much. The talk of no cash and no-one being interested isnt correct though. We are having a proper go without being reckless. The Clyne deal was really poor form; even with our naivety.

Sala has never said he isn't interested in a move.

Interest in Tameze is genuine and active.

N'jie; you know as much as me.

No knew about Kante or Mahrez before they came to England from France. Could be gems!

Exactly, it looks like our only option is to take a chance. We’re not going to get an established Premier League ‘been there & done it’ type player without splashing out a fortune, and not a small fortune either. I hope we take a punt now, get bodies in and pray they gel. Otherwise it’s seeing what’s left on January 31st when God knows where we’ll be in the table by then.

We aint getting top end players in the EPL. We need to shop outside. Everything is a risk.

They may have better technical ability than a few in our current squad, and right now were short on that as a squad , they would give us depth and more choice, perhaps it's those 3 plus, and a good seasoned loan signing, ie Moses?

If we don’t act now and wait until the end of the month I reckon Jesus Christ may be a better option than Moses!

He would probably save better than Smithies did against Gillingham....

Could you imagine Jesus Christ getting a bollocking from Warnock 'Call ye'self the fooking saviour'

I'll post this now as seen a few mentions on twitter so itll be on here soon enough.

Sala's turned into Madine. We've shown an interest and the goals have dried up, he failed again last night. Must be worth 1/2 of what he was last month.

I've got that floppy feeling again!

From France translation:
They do not let go of the case. On Tuesday night, according to information from 20 Minutes, representatives of the Cardiff City club came to supervise the FCN striker Emiliano Sala, at the meeting Nantes and Montpellier (2-0). Welsh club manager Neil Warnock was accompanied by Willie Mac Kay, a British agent who presumably serves as an intermediary since the beginning of negotiations between the Kita clan and Cardiff City, in a presidential box and not in a platform to keep a low profile. This is obviously not the first time this season that the Welsh manager comes to La Beaujoire to scrutinize Sala, who will be at the end of the lease in Nantes in a year and a half and will not extend his contract.

The Cardiff City manager had implied late December that the track was abandoned. His presence, Tuesday, at the Beaujoire, suggests that the file is not closed.
Offer of 22 million euros

Doesn't he only have 6 months left on his contract?

Why the hell would he want to join us now when in the summer he could have a salary twice as high.

(Not suggesting he's a mercenary of course.)

My understanding was that Sala has eighteen months left on his contract - that's what it says in the French report that IGovernor posted a translation of above as well.

It's 18, their President has said so too. They need/want to cash in now, as the asking price will drop.
