Capaldi ready to flee Bluebirds nest

Whilst not handing in a transfer request, Cardiff City's TONY CAPALDI today told the South Wales Echo that he expects to be looking for a new club in the January transfer window and is content going to get first team football.


He is, in truth, third choice left back at Cardiff City behind Kevin McNaughton and Mark Kennedy and even then isn't guaranteed a place although he was strangely deployed in midfield by Dave Jones at Swansea last weekend ... it didn't work.



Capaldi told the South Wales Echo today that, "I need regular football now. I can`t just keep coming in every four or five weeks. I`ve spoken to the gaffer and .... we`ll see what happens in January. I would love to stay at Cardiff and play, but I might now just have to move on. It would be sad, but you do have to hold your hands up and say if it`s not meant to be at Cardiff, then it`s not meant to be."


Capaldi joined on a free transfer from Plymouth Argyle prior to the 2007-08 season - although rum,our would have it that he more than trebled his pay and this has prevented him leaving on loan or permanently before now. He struggled at first but played a key role in City's surge to the F.A. Cup Final in 2008 but has never really held a first team place or won over the fans. At best, his is dependable. It's certain he would leave on a free transfer too.


Is it possible he could link with long-term admirer and former boss Ian Holloway at Blackpool or even return to his former club, Plymouth Argyle? I certainly wouldn't rule either out.
