Goalkeeper Tom Heaton and full-backs Paul Quinn and Lee Naylor are all out of contract and will move on.

The loan deal which brought Republic of Ireland international Liam Lawrence from Portsmouth also ends later this month.

Heaton is attracting big interest, with Championship trio Bristol City, Burnley and Sheffield Wednesday all keen on the former England Under-21 international.


City boss Malky Mackay admits he would like 26-year-old Heaton to stay. But Mackay accepts he wants to move in search of first-team football after playing second fiddle to David Marshall in the last league campaign.

Solomon Taiwo, Jon Parkin and Dekel Keinan are all open to offers.

The trio are under contract at Cardiff next season, but do not figure in Mackay’s plans.

Taiwo, 27, played for Leyton Orient on loan last season, while Parkin, 30, had spells at Doncaster, Huddersfield and Scunthorpe United.

Israel international Keinan, 27, had brief loan spells at Crystal Palace and later Bristol City last term.

Young professionals Alex Evans, Jon Meades and Canadian goalkeeper Jordan Santiago have already been released,

Treharris-born Evans, who joined the Cardiff academy at the age of nine, has attracted a lot of interest and has been linked with Cheltenham, Aldershot, Torquay, Aberdeen, Falkirk and St Johnstone.

Evans made just one senior appearance, helping Cardiff win 3-1 at Oxford in the first round of the Carling Cup last August.

Adam Davies, a teenage midfield player released by the youth academy, has attracted interest from Birmingham and Torquay as well as Scottish clubs Aberdeen and St Johnstone.

No shocks there Annis but I thought Gerrard would be on the list.

Gary,

I thought he would be top of the list, but theres at least another 5 or 6 players to add to that list.

Shame Lawrence will be off, liked him

Any chance of Lawrence staying annis?

I think Gerrard will leave & it hurts to say but Earnie might move on/

I think Gerrard will leave & it hurts to say but Earnie might move on/

i hope gerrard goes his ego has taken over ,while even though earnie will always be a city legend for his past exploits this time around it just haven happened for him,many can argue it being lack of opportunities but for me his best days are now behind him

I think Gerrard isn't on the list because we want a decent fee for him, he was very good at Hull and IMO could demand a fee of £600K+

Parkin should be starting, the jibes about his weight by the plastic enemy in our end is disgusting, he's the best striker for us by far.

Plus I liked chanting BEAST. It reminded me of the school days where we would shout it at the fat kid

So how come Gerrard hasn't played since wembley? because of the penalty?

Alleged Players To Leave:
Paul Quinn
Tom Heaton
Jon Parkin
Lee Naylor
Anthony Gerrard
Peter Whittingham - After failure to gain promotion

Players Club Are Interested In:
Adam Hammill - RM - Wolves
Joe Lewis - GK - Peterborough - Out of contract this season and supposedly Tom Heaton's replacement
Julian Schreieber - CF - A centre forward Malky is said to have been watching throughout this season who shows genuine promise for the future and also a player the Malaysian owners are keen to bring to the club.
Lucas Piazon - RS - Sao Paulo - A young striker for the future who also has interest from clubs such as Everton, Fulham, Tottenham and Manchester City/United
Craig Bellamy - LW/ST - Liverpool - Said to be unhappy at Liverpool due to recent performances, league position at th end of the 2011/12 campaign, and relations with owners and other players and if TG and VT stay they are said to have agreed to fund his wages.

Another circulating rumour is that Aston Villa, West Brom and Blackburn are wishing to speak to Malky Mackay about the managers position, Aston Villa would be a priority to Malky reffering back to his days as a player.
