I still think in the background that tan is still thinking about the Cornelius transfer and maybe concerned that this is another more expensive flop.
I think if we get niasse across the line today Warnock will rely on him and zohore and tan won’t waste money on a player who clearly is struggling to commit to playing for us. Personally he’s messed us about so much the last week I don’t particularly want him here

Thursday 17th January 2019
We understand Cardiff are still working on a deal to sign Nantes striker Emiliano Sala - despite the imminent arrival of Oumar Niasse on loan from Everton.
Nantes want £20million, Cardiff have offered £13million.
Sala also needs more persuading to come to the Welsh club.
Sala came on as a substitue last for Nantes.

Not one I would have taken
There are better in the championship
Lets hope Warnock can wave his magic wand with this one

I don't think there's much sense in trying to play Niasse and Sala and I really can't see all that much ability in Sala considering the fuss and money being demanded. The issue and the man is becoming bigger than the club and that might be a big problem if he came here.
Whether we need or can afford another striker in addition to Niasse I'm not sure but I'm pleased with the signing and I don't want this other primadonna to continue detracting from the transfer we've done or the new player himself. If ,as has been suggested here, Mr Tan is concerned about Sala being another Cornelius, I think he's right to be.
In short, this whole circus needs to be concluded at this point and a statement from the club would do that.

I asked on another thread today for opinions on Sala. I can honestly say I have no idea if he is any good as I have only watched a few youtube clips. I am guessing by the excitement and number of threads on this forum, that most fans know a lot more about him than I do. If you showed two youtube clips, one featuring Sala and the other Zohore, and asked a neutral fan who they would pick based on these clips, I think most would go for Zohore. I assume Sala must actually be a lot better than Zohore as there would be little point in signing someone who is not an improvement on what we already have. I was just wondering what fans have based their opinions on, and what are his strengths in comparison to Zohore. A genuine question as I can honestly say I have no opinion one way or the other as I know next to nothing about him.

They've based an opinion on the price tag. People will expect big things if this deal happens and he could well crumble under pressure.
I'd really like us to get him as it seems like Warnock has done proper work on this one so it could turn out a brilliant signing

Why wouldn’t he be in training?
We’re still working on the fee, so he’s still their player.
