City search for new striker target as Cousin flees


Earlier in the week, stories were strong that Cardiff City and Hull City had agreed a player swap in principle with Ross McCormack heading to the Tigers with City hoping to get French striker Daniel Cousin.

Whilst terms were agreed for McCormack, Cousin was less keen as he earned £18k weekly, Cardiff were offering to pay half of that and Hull were refusing to make up the shortfall. But it's now all change as Cousin has gone to Greece to play for Larissa (I'd never heard of them before either!) leaving any deal for McCormack dead in the water.

However it is now understood that City are looking for a similar swap with Derby County, this time with Rob Hulse coming our way. Cardiff need cover and competion for Jay Bothroyd and Hulse fits the bill perfectly.
