Cardiff City reject Anthony Gerrard offer from Championship rival

Cardiff City have turned down a bid from a rival Championship club for centre-back Anthony Gerrard.

The 26-year-old has been linked with a move to Championship new boys Huddersfield Town while Bristol City, Blackburn and Derby are interested.

Gerrard, cousin of England captain Steven, has not played since missing a vital penalty in Cardiff's Carling Cup final loss to Liverpool in February.

Gerrard has been left out of Cardiff's pre-season tour by boss Malky Mackay.

The former Everton trainee, who signed for Cardiff from Walsall in July 2009, was left behind for the trip to Switzerland as captain Mark Hudson, Ben Turner and Darcy Blake are seemingly all ahead of him in the centre-back pecking order.

Gerrard told his Twitter site: "For everyone asking, I haven't been givin [sic] a reason why I haven't gone, I'm only interested in getting fitter, so that's my main concern."

The offer had to have been really lousey and the buying club could have wanted us to still pay part of his wages? :shock:

We're not a charity, Cardiff clearly want rid but he's still a decent defender. Man City wanted to get rid of Carlos Tevez but even when A.C. Milan offered around £20mil they rejected it. Any club who want's (and they're more than welcome to him!) will have to pay City's asking price, or at least get close to it!

£500,000 plus 100% of his wages and he's yours.

£500,000 seems a fair price, he's a decent defender at the level and at a decent age.
