CARDIFF CITY PLAYER NEWS

SIGNINGS
Nothing has yet materialised. Boyd of Rangers does not seem to be going any further, the player is likely to stay there or sign for a 'bigger' club.
City are talking to a midfielder with Champions League experience - expect huge disappointment when it turns out to be be someone from Cyprus or similar who featured as sub in one game!
NEW CONTRACTS
It would appear that Peter Whittingham has commited to a new 3 year deal and the club are also expecting Roger Johnson to do likewise. Rumours of a RJ summer injury may not be true then.
Three other players - Paul Parry, Glen Loovens and Kevin McNaughton - are currently mulling over contract offers, all believed to be for 2 years. The club seem reasonably confident all will commit. Still no news that Robbie Fowler - anyone remember him? - is taking a pay-as-you-play contract but is likely too.
LEAVERS
Still no takers for the likes of Willo Flood, Warren Feeney and Steve Thompson amongst others but news is that Jimmy Floyd-Hasslebaink is linked with the vacant manager's post at MK Dons although the club are expected to go for an experienced boss.
