NO GINGER LINGER

Me? Back to Cardiff???

You're 'aving a laugh!









The following message is in ginger-vision, I thank you.


From last Saturday’s “100% done deal and this comes from the club” rumours being speead by excitable “In The Knows” to other City fans at Norwich comes confirmation today that 100% no way will Ginge aka James Collins be coming on loan and back to Cardiff.

City have problems at centre half with Darren Purse recovering from an ankle op, Roger Johnson awaiting scan results on an injury sustained at Norwich, Glenn Loovens passing fitness tests before each of the last two Championship games and no other centre half on the books so it’s only right they must get cover and Ginge would be superb.

However, whilst not in the current West Ham line-up following a summer of huge spending that has seen him pop down the order for now, Ginge is still higher rated by the Fruit Throwing Hammers, recently had a contract extension until 2011 and wants to fight for his place in the Premiership at the club rather than be away and not under consideration at all. An understandable choice but a brace one too when he may see himself totally frozen out of first team football for some time to come.

Meantime, Cardiff find themselves stuck with a few players they’d rather not have around and who seem unlikely to play for them anytime soon such as Matt Green (a prospect but needs a loan to help him get games), Jason Byrne (not a prospect at all with Cardiff) and Kevin Cooper (our 5th or 6th choice wideman) amongst others. It is believed that being unable to move some players out has prevented arrivals.
