CHOPRA LINKED AGAIN?

Chops - scoring for Cardiff against Sunderland


It's the name that won't go away and there has been wild rumours since last weekend that Dave Jones is once again asking after Michael Chopra on a loan package. It is a story that has also been hinted by a couple of fans citing various connections for the past few weeks.





Michael Chopra has largely been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons in recent times. A troublesome summer marriage to the his childhood which saw them go their separate ways on honeymoon, police visits to their home and then Chops was admitted to The Sporting Chance clinic for gambling and other problems.





His absence has seen his season confined to just 3 substitute Premiership appearences totalling 57 minutes so far this season but he was a hero in one of them scoring two very late goals to see the Black Cats overcome local rivals Middlesbrough.





Maybe Chops feels time back at Cardiff where he would get first team football and a change of scenery will be beneficial to him on all fronts but maybe it's just more unfounded gossip. However he's very much part of the Sunderland matchday squad so it seems unlikely. Only thing I do know is that Michael Chopra in Bluebird colours could transform this side and really help us push on.
