Brighton and Hove Albion have offered £10million for Cardiff City striker Kenneth Zohore, with Tomer Hemed potentially going the other way.
Zohore's agent originally claimed the Brighton 'bid' was for £17m and Cardiff rejected it. But Cardiff rubbished the claims. I took it that there had not been a formal bid at all, but maybe there was a bid but much lower than claimed. Everton were also supposed to be interested in Zohore after his hot streak, but they never followed up that interest. Either way getting £8m from WBA after Zohore had gone off the boil was excellent work.
£7 mill plus Giles makes perfect sense if he wants to commit to Cardiff long term.
Then raid my hometown club for two or three.

Everton were also interested.
The only trouble is that, if we did get Giles here permanently, someone would immediately start a media story or message board thread stating that another club was after him and that we were actively seeking bids to sell. It is impossible to have a good player here and just enjoy it for what it is.
Wheres Sludge? He will confirm this is all bollox as his source has said hes going to Burnley.
And oh yeah by the time we somehow sold him for that money he was a waste of space so you’re absolutely right on that one !
7m just isn't worth it for us in my opinion, Kieffer looks like he can guarantee 15+ goals a season for us for the next couple of years. 29 is 'old' but for a big target man he can play at this level until 33 at least if he manages himself well and has good luck with injuries.
2-3m plus Giles would be the bare minimum we should even consider. Giles has played well so far but how many players have had excellent 4-5 games for us then looked like a pub player after that so he can't be considered to be worth more than 5m.
He wouldn't have come on tonight if he was leaving
I’m increasingly thinking that this s nonsense .
Really it’d be more likely that someone like Fulham or Bournemouth would want him.
I somehow think Wolves value Giles at more than a few million, like some seem to be suggesting.
I’m increasingly thinking this stuff about Wolves is nonsense despite the way they’re ramping it up in the press.
Essential though he is to us, what use is he to Wolves really? He’d only ever be a reserve/ substitute and he age means that wouldn’t last long. He’s never scored or as far as I know even played in the Premiership and although it would be wrong to say he’s just a big target man, he’s certainly not the kind of player they expect at teams like that with an aim of “sunshine football”.
If they were prepared to shell out and give him a high payed contract to spend his last three years or so as a perpetual substitute he might exchange the rest of his career ( which would end in real terms when he signed ) for financial security, but once again Wolves can get other last resort back up strikers from Portugal or somewhere who’ve played their style of football before.
Who have the City got lined up to replace Kieffer should he depart? This is crucial to the club and those that follow them - unless Moore stays.
