CARDIFF CITY have this eveing confirmed the loan signing of Coventry City's Greek goalkeeper Demitrios Konstantopoulos (thankfully better known as Dimi) on loan for the rest of this season.
Weekend rumours of regular keeper Peter Enckleman facing surgery were founded today as he had a weekend knee op and is expected to be absent for a critical 6-8 weeks.
30 year old Dimi started his UK career with Hartlepool before being snapped up by Coventry in the summer of 2007. He managed only 21 appearences for the Sky Blues but has been popular wherever he has played, none more so than City's local rivals Swansea City for whom he has just completed a 6 game loan spell featuring in The Jacks great F.A. Cup 3rd Round win at Portsmouth. Swans fans wished for him to stay but the deal couldn't be done and Cardiff have now moved in.
Dimi will compete with Tom Heaton for the keeper's shirt but Heaton will get first chance in the F.A. Cup replay against Arsenal at The Emirates next Monday night with Dimi being cup-tied.
