CITY WANT HOWARD (Steve not Brian)

Dave Jones has not proven himself to be the best judge of strikers for Cardiff City - in fact, Michael Chopra apart, his record is quite horrific - so Bluebirds wait with baited breath and panic to see what he has in store for us this coming season.

Will he re-sign Robbie and Jimmy even though many think it's best to go separate ways with both and just who are the new forwards he wants?

One of his key targets now emerging is Derby veteran Steve Howard, a player he has chased and failed to get almost since arriving at Ninian Park. But would he do the business now? The big man has been a hit at this level and certainly leads the line and adds goals in a way that Thommo can't but at 32, has he still got the attributes needs if City are to push on?

Jones' other targets are reports to be Chopra, Eastwood and Jason Roberts, all previously covered in this blog.
