Joe Set To Be A Toffee??

The silly season starts right here, right now and while Cardiff City are not being linked with any arrivals yet, the departure door is having WD40 applied to assist exits right now.
City have long accepted skipper Joe Ledley would make the Premiership next season if they didn't and with only a year of his contract remaining, interest is hot.



Cardiff will hope to have a bidding war with Everton, Wolves, Birmingham and Stoke all showing interest of sorts but Everton have shown the biggest interest - boss David Moyes making a couple of personal checks last season - and irt's being reported they are indeed favourites to get him with a deal maybe only a matter of days away.


It would be a great move for Joe - joining a higher ranking club with European football next season - and after his service for City, who could possibly begrudge him the chance? The fee will be interesting,


Cardiff turned down £6M from Stoke in January and City will surely look for that at least but does his contract ticking down have an impact.
Another issue is that City may look for Everton players coming on - on loan or permanently - as deal makeweights. Striker Voctor Anichebe is being mentioned in dispatches as a possible loan.
