Cardiff City have turned down two substantial bids for first teamers but rather than say, "he's not for sale", the club have stated the fee they would sell at.
Ipswich Town have tabled a £1M bid for Roger Johnson who may leave City for bigger and better things but that certainly wouldn't be Ipswich! Two Premier clubs, one of them undoubtedly Middlesbrough, are reported to be preparing bids for the centre-half who City say they wouldn't let go for less than £3M.
Peter Whittingham, meanwhile, has been the subject of a £1M bid from Nottingham Forest which had been expected for some time. "Nay" says Peter Ridsdale before swiftly adding, "but give me £1.5M and he's yours" to stop them disappearing altogether. Got a funny feeling this one may go through.
Aaron Ramsey has now met Alex Ferguson and Manchester United, David Moyes and Everton and flew to Switzerland on the weekend to meet Arsenal's Arsene Wenger. With Liverpool yet to have a bid accepted, it looks like Rambo will choose between the other three with Manchester United reckoned to be odds on favourites.
And don't rule out more players leaving news as a shirty Peter Ridsdale expressed his disdain at some players wanting their wages trebled to stay with City. Ridders says some have over-inflated egos. There's a man who should know all about that! Eight City 'stars' are out of contract in 12 months meaning City need to sort new contracts or risk losing them soon and maybe not for the prices City would like. "We'll make fair offers and increases to those we want to keep" adding that those who don't accept can go which is, maybe, what they want.
No news on the arrivals front except Robbie Fowler's agent said "there's a deal to be done!" giving the strongest hint yet that "God" will sign a pay-as-you-play contract for City. Dave Jones will be delighted, most City fans will be underwhelmed by contrast.
