Gossip and rumours would have it that Charlton Athletic are about to launch a bid for Cardiff's captain and centre-half Darren Purse with a fee of £500,000 being mentioned for the man allegedly attracting Premiership bids of over £1M last summer before signing a new Bluebirds contract.
Purse has been having a poor season at Cardiff with injuries, refusing to play one game as he was ordered to remove his wedding rings, missed penalties, defensive howlers and he now finds himself ranked 3 out of 3 against Roger Johnson and Glenn Loovens and having to sit on the sub's benhc, hardly ideal.
He has taken part in less than half of City's matches this term and although he will get more games and chances, particularly with suspensions and injuries and Cardiff operatiing with only 3 centre-halves, you wonder if both the player and club would be willing to accept an offer?
My point of view is that although Purse is a good and experienced pro who enjoys Cardiff and seems very settled here - even if his family still live in the Midlands - if Dave Jones can bring in a cheaper, experienced option or an up and coming alternative, maybe a loan, then it could be benefical to do so. Not everyone will agree however.
