Cardiff to admit defeat in chase for number one transfer window target
http://the72.co.uk/74228/cardiff-acc...n-hayes-chase/
The Daily Record reports that Aberdeen have rejected a third bid from Cardiff City for star player Jonny Hayes, a bid which is said to have angered the Scottish Premiership club. After two bids were rejected earlier in the window, a third bid of £600,000 has been rejected outright.
That third offer is said to have greatly annoyed the Scottish club as given the fact the South Wales club elected to wait so long to make a third bid. It is their feeling that Cardiff wanted to wait until nearer the end of the window in the hope that Aberdeen would be willing to sell, but Derek McInnes has always insisted the player won’t be allowed to leave this month.
With the transfer deadline closing at 11pm tonight, Cardiff look set to miss out on the player they have chased in this transfer window right from the very start. The 29-year-old midfielder produced a fine display on Friday night as Aberdeen continued their pursuit for second spot with a home victory against Dundee.
A source from inside the club has spoken out on the back of the £600k bid from Neil Warnock’s Bluebirds,
“If Cardiff thought they were being clever waiting for so long before coming in with a third bid then it has clearly backfired. All they have done is annoy Aberdeen by coming in so late with an offer which is not much better than the bids which have already been rejected.
“Unless something crazy happens in the last few hours of the window there will be no deal done.
“Cardiff clearly don’t have the desire or the cash to make a proper offer for a player who is of massive importance to what the manager is trying to achieve at Aberdeen.
“Derek wants to beat Rangers to second place in the league this season and keeping Jonny will be a vital part of that.”
Cardiff, Fulham and Wolves in pursuit of Preston North End forward
http://the72.co.uk/74216/cardiff-ful...h-end-forward/
Cardiff City, Fulham and Wolves are aiming to continue their attempts to sign Preston North End’s Callum Robinson according to a report from the Daily Mail.
Over the last few weeks, it has become apparent that Robinson has become a key target for a few of Preston’s rivals in the Sky Bet Championship. Last week it was reported that Wolves were preparing a £2m bid for him while it is also believed that Fulham made an offer worth £2.5m which was rejected. But even though they have had resistance so far, both teams are set to continue their attempts to sign him.
But while Fulham and Wolves have been prodding at Preston to see if they will accept an offer, they have been joined in Deadline Day by another team. Cardiff have started to pull away from the relegation zone after the appointment of Neil Warnock as their new head coach but he’s been aiming to rebuild the squad since he arrived in South Wales. And with Robinson being seen as a very talented forward who can up front or on the wing, he has become a target for them as the transfer deadline looms large.
But despite all of this interest, Preston are aiming to hold tough and keep one of their best players. But they seem to have admitted that they have put a value on Robinson and that if any of these teams do want to sign him, they will have to stump up the big amount of £4m.
Jim White' antagonising shouting draws ever closer
Never say never with Warnock, but nothing even remotely close at the moment - allegedly.
Not expecting any movement as it stands.
There have been rumours of Matt Taylor from Brizzle Rovers but it now appears he's crossing the City to become a Wurzel.
Taylor is done, He's a Wurzel now
I am happy with the link to Callum Robinson of Preston. Good player.
