The Rumour Mill Rolls On while Player Movement Stalls

CARDIFF CITY fans get their first chance to see the team this season as the club play Chasetown at the Cardiff City stadium tomorrow night but with no new signings since last weekend.

The club, for differing reasons, would listen to offers for Joe Ledley as well as assist the transfers of Warren Feeney, Tony Capaldi, Paul Parry, Steve McPhail to name a few. I suspect until some of that log jam is cleared, new arrivals may wait as well.

Maros Klimpl continues to train with the club and other trialists are linking up but the rumours are getting more sensational and ridiculous with focus on midfielders and a forward. Jason Koumas gets linked forever and a day, Wayne Routledge returning is way too left-field, Dietar Hammam coming for a year from Liverpool before returning to his homeland seems to be madness but today's Echo reveals a more realistic target - Leyton Orient's Cypriot international Jason Demetriou. However we appear to be one of five or so clubs linked to him and Cardiff never win out in those situations ... assuming there is any merit to it in the first place.

The wait goes on.
