While Cardiff City concentrate on the visit of Norwich City later today, it is their East Anglian rivals Ipswich Town causing a little consternation with newspaper talk in Suffolk of them making increased bids for centre-half Roger Johnson and weighing up a final offer believing they have a chance of prising him away from Ninian Park.
Think there's several factors why it wouldn't happen in my view;
- City don't need to sell (I bloody hope not anyway!)
- With Johnson signing a new long term deal recently, it will surely include a 'silly price' release fee
- RJ may want Prem football but can't see any reason he'd want another middling Championship club ... albeit one with a bit more money to spend.
- City, and Ridders, would lose credibility
- It leaves City with no time for another replacement
One thing concerns me though - Ipswich, it would seem, haven't been definitely told to **** off by CCFC otherwise they wouldn't keep coming back with increased offers.
Not sure whether to be worried or unconcerned.
