Four days to go and still we don't know how Cardiff City will shape up

Whatever Dave Jones and Cardiff City planned for this summer, you can bet they never counted of having the immediate future of their two biggest value players unknown and be at least 3 or 4 men short of their ideal squad with no new face in midfield at all ... but such is life with The Bluebirds.


The one certainty is that PAUL PARRY has left the club officially signing for Championship rivals Preston North End for £300,000 on Monday afternoon. Dave Jones hinted an immediate replacement would join the club but the wait continues for that.

Parry shared his thoughts with BBC Radio Lancashire after completing the deal and you can listen to the interview at this link.

However the biggest talking point of the past 48 hours was another chapter in the Ross McCormack soap opera. In the space of 1 month, Ross signed a new deal, bragged of his commitment to Cardiff until 2013, rang Peter Ridsdale for a casual chat to find out where he was playing, asked to leave for a Premiership club, denied asking for a transfer, lost penalty taking duties after his third successive miss and now after being quoted in the Hull Daily Mail that Cardiff were over-pricing him to prevent him going, he's denied ever saying that too.

Clearly Cardiff need to shift Ross fast or get the player to get his head down and work. The situation is unhealthy and undermining preparations for the big kick off.

This isn't dead by a long way as rumours today are very strong that a transfer to Hull will be completed by next Monday for upto £4M and that Cardiff will be bringing in 4 new players.


More details and information to follow but this is a quick catch up as I've been away since Sunday.
