My social media is full of rumours about my club Cardiff City wanting some player but rarely does the reports become fact and if you add the fans wish list, its never ending.
I’m tired of rumours there was a time I would jump on every one, research the player and time and time again, it would be a waste of time. The transfer rumour business is really thriving with today’s papers full of them with the word exclusive thrown around a lot.
I know some fans want to hear rumours and papers, websites, radio, and TV channels mainly Sky Sports News will happily provide them but it would be nice to have some substance behind them. I get the feeling there are many agents fishing, putting out a line, and waiting for a bite. It’s not only agents these days players put themselves in the window giving interviews like Raheem Sterling.
A first team player at Liverpool and offered a £100,000 a week extension, not a year, and still wants to take a chance with a new team. His agent said if Liverpool were to offer his client £900,000 a week, he would still want to leave. Liverpool are threatening the 20-year-old that they will make him see out the final two years of his £35,000-a-week contract should no extension be signed this summer. I don’t really care but I do hope Liverpool stick it to the greedy numpty.
Meanwhile at the Cardiff City stadium many rumours but no new personnel yet although manager Russell Slade as a list. The owner of the club has promised cash but not the stupid kind of cash paid out in previous seasons. The club are still trying to clear out some more high earners to reduce the wage bill.
Checking to make sure there was no big announcement of a new signing before publishing this blog I saw the wage bill has been reduced, but not by much with news that United States under-23 goalkeeper Charlie Horton has left the club.
The rumour mill was quiet today with Kenwyne Jones wanted by Western Sydney Wanderers and fellow striker Adam Le Fondre who is interesting a number of teams.
