The Scottish papers are full of talk that Glasgow giants and SPL leaders are on the verge are taking WILLO FLOOD away from Ninian Park ... or, rather, Tannadice Park. He's been away from City for so long that it's hard to remember how he is still a Cardiff player by rights.
23 yr old Flood was signed by City for £200,000 from Manchester City at the start of the 2006/07 season and while he showed talent and promise, he was lightweight, far too easily knocked off the ball and not the best at tracking back to help out. He therefore found himself getting sub action only with 20 appearances off the bench and only 5 starts.
Dave Jones decided to loan him to SPL side Dundee United the folliwng season and he has become a first team srar and stand-out player in Scotland and so popular and so popular that The Terrors kept him on loan for this second season. However he is out of contract this summer and with City still paying the bulk of his wage, they are keen to tie up a deal.
United, 3rd in the SPL but 16 points behind Celtic, would love to keep him but appear unable to offer Cardiff any payment now while Celtic are believed to be ready to offer City £60,000 as well as offer Flood a vastly more lucrative contract that United could offer.
Ironically, it is also being rumoured that Celtic may soon be making a move for City's other exiled man in Scotland, Warren Feeney. Like Flood, the Feenster's face just never fitted in at City and he find himself on loan at Dundee United where he has scored 5 goals in 11 SPL starts including a double in yesterday's 3-2 win over St. Mirren.
IT REALLY MUST BE PROGRESS AT CARDIFF CITY WHEN PLAYERS WE DON'T WANT ARE INTERESTING CELTIC!!
