It's been quietly whispered for a couple of days but today's News of the World adds credence to Cardiff City making firm moves for Blackburn Rovers England Under 21 striker Matt Derbyshire.
Derbyshire, who was on loan at fellow Welsh side Wrexham a couple of years ago, is a highly rated and capable striker but who is finding his career at Blackburn developing in the slow lane at almost 23 years old and feels it's time to push on.
He has only started 28 times for the Premiership club (17 of them in the league) but racked up in excess of 50 sub outings too scoring 20 goals, 5 coming this season, so will clearly help City.
It's also rumoured that the club are enquiring about a permanent return for ex-loan star and goalkeeper Kasper Schmeicel. The keeper knows he won't get near the Man City first team with the mega-millions they are thowing about so wants out. Celtic are interested but can't guarantee him first team football and if the rumour mill is correct, Cardiff are promising more than that.
