From a Jack to Nowhere - Cardiff and Feeney stuck with each other

Reports from The Wild West suggest that Swansea City will be looking elsewhere for a forward in the transfer window and forgetting their leading scorer, Cardiff City striker Warren Feeney, whose loan spell with them officially ended this week but who is injured uuntil at least the end of February and had already returned to Cardiff for treatment.

Maybe Feeney could be a ball boy?

The striker signed for Cardiff City a year ago and has failed to make an impression, other than bad. Nobody could fault his effort, he's a trier, and seems to be a genuine nice guy but always seemed to be inadequate for a Cardiff City side who were, at that time, chasing Premiership promotion whilst he wasn't good enough to get in a Luton side heading for relegation.

It would appear the key reaon to his arrival here, as with many Cardiff signings, is having previously played under Peter Ridsdale, in his case at Leeds but a poor signing seems to be compunded byt he fact that City and Ridsdale gave the player both a long contract at Ninian Park and hefty wages. By all accounts, Swansea were shocked to learn the player's pay and that, as much as his contract and injury, killed any chance of a move.

Where does it leave Feeney? Quite possibly in complete limbo as he's a player who is possibly not good enough for Championship clubs but too expensive for League One. Right now, his focus must be on getting fit again.
