His agent getting the ball rolling looking for new suitors perhaps?Quote:

He may wait till the World Cup to decide. Can't see Gunnar going this Jan.
I think we should sell , it will, become a Ledley moment otherwise .
Can't sell if he doesn't want to go to that club.
Knows he can just run his contract down, get a bigger signing on fee as a result.
Unless they flash the cash ,wagd wise , it usually turns a chaps head.Quote:

If he won’t sign a new contract we should sell in January?
Its not a cynical thought !Quote:

He's a good lad and has been great for us , in particular under Warnock.
I would have loved him to sign a contract last year then make him our captain as he is for his country.
Think the lad wants to taste something else and who can blame him , he's nearing 29 so I guess the next contract is critical to him and one that is at least 4 years long, it's not an old man's postion in the role he plays .
NW stated they'd tried to get him fit but he needed an op on Xmas eve to remove a piece of bone from his ankle. I don't think there's anything sinister going on here. When he's fit Gunnar's will want to play...Quote:

Is he really good enough if we did go up?Quote:

How much is he worth a week?
If he isn't going to try for Cardiff in order to be fit for the world cup, why would another club come in and sign him in January.
He's got to perform in the run up to make the actual team first.....
He can do better than going to Turkey to play but they will offer him massive money I expect
He would suit the Italian or German game that's for sure.
Theres a flip side to your argument.He has stated he wouldn't mind playing in Europe and City could make a few bob out of a transfer now.As good as he is he's not irreplaceable and as a player with a decent reputation at the moment theres never been a better time to negotiate what would be his last chance to secure a good deal for himself.Quote:
