CCFC CLOSE IN ON FILIP DORDEVIC FROM FC NANTES........

Premier League new boys, Cardiff City are closing in on the signature of Serbian goal scorer Filip Dordevic from FC Nantes after the French club accepted a bid of Euros 5.4m from the Welsh club. It is anticipated that Dordevic, who has scored 52 goals in 150 appearances for FC Nantes, will travel to the Welsh capital on Monday to discuss personal terms. The 25 year old is said to be excited at the prospect of playing in the EPL and Cardiff will be hopeful of concluding the deal.

Nantes president, Waldemar Kita says "We will be sorry to see Filip move but it is obviously a significant career move to play in the Premier League and we wish him well. Cardiff City have been most professional in progressing this deal and the fact that our two cities are twinned helped the atmosphere of negotiations."

Could be good.....!!

Cant find anything

6 ft 1 striker.
Suggest we are still after a 2nd big man.
Similar average goalscoring record to Gomis.

Only half the price !

Another East European? Malky not got a good record with them -Velikonja and Kiss
I would have thought they were hard working and committed, but for some reason our 2 seem to have hit problems.

Still think Kiss needs to get fitter and adjust his game and he could come good, but maybe not PL standard. The same goes for Etien, who I do not understand what is wrong. Is it the formation we play ? Does he need another striker alongside him?

I think this is a slightly different situation as he is coming from the French league and not directly from Eastern Europe.

Can't see it happening. Why do we seem to get linked to every striker over 6 ft?

And he's 25 years old.

C’est désormais une certitude, Filip Djordjevic veut quitter Nantes. L’entraîneur des Canaris Michel Der Zakarian l’a lui-même confirmé vendredi. Problème, aucun club n’a encore manifesté son intérêt pour l’avant-centre de 25 ans. Celui-ci est pourtant susceptible d’intéresser plusieurs formations de l’Hexagone telles que Saint-Étienne.

Une meilleure affaire qu’Ibrahima Touré

Depuis le départ de Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, les dirigeants stéphanois cherchent un joueur capable de remplacer, au moins numériquement, l’international gabonais. La piste menant au Lillois Nolan Roux a été mise de côté. Jérémie Aliadière coûte trop cher. La rumeur Kléber s’est envolée aussi vite qu’elle avait surgi.

L’attaquant le plus susceptible de rejoindre le Forez semble donc être le Monégasque Ibrahima Touré. L’intérêt stéphanois pour le joueur est avéré, mais l’ASM exige 5 millions d’euros ! Une somme que l’ASSE n’est pas disposée à investir. À titre de comparaison, Djordjevic, qui s’est montré plus régulier que Touré la saison passée en L2 (20 buts pour le Serbe contre 19, dont seulement 2 lors des matches retour, pour le Sénégalais), coûterait 3 M€ maximum, puisqu’il ne lui reste qu’un an de contrat. Une affaire.

Djordjevic aimerait rester en France

Nantes, de son côté, y trouverait également son compte, puisque le club espère vendre son joueur ou le prolonger dès cet été, de peur de devoir le laisser libre en juin prochain. Une offre d’un autre club viendrait donc à point nommé. Les dirigeants canaris ne devraient du reste pas se montrer trop gourmands, aucune proposition n’ayant pour l’instant atterri sur leur bureau.

Quant au principal intéressé, Djordjevic lui-même, ses velléités de départ s’accompagnent du souhait de rester en France afin d’obtenir la nationalité française. Un aller simple dans le Forez aurait donc tout, a priori, pour le séduire.

Reste qu’il ne s’agit là que de supputations et qu’il faudra sans doute attendre la fin de l’intersaison, lorsque les clubs dévoilent enfin leur jeu, pour constater une éventuelle avancée de ce dossier.

Ah that makes it all clearer

Very good point. In fact it will probably make all the difference in adapting.

Hoofball

You mean a more exciting and attacking style of football - that British fans and those worldwide love? A style that changes and adapts depending on the circumstances. Compared to boring tappy tappy football between the goalies and his defence.

How tall is Michu?

How tall is Michu?

Bony?

Campbell, Maynard, Mason even Bellers all under 6ft.
He's only on a wind up though

I was asking a question,which is why i put ' ' after,hoofball.Touchy lot you aye

Michu's about 6 2 i think but is a AM.Our striker Bony is about 5 9.

Never realised Michu was so tall. Must be a giant in Spain?

Our striker Bony is about 5 9.

Short arse

He's as wide as he is tall i think.Anyway, ball to feet.It's our motto.

Did you make that up can't find feck all anywhere

Attacking being the operative word.

Now back to the top of the thread.......

If this is true, it appears to be a good signing, I have watched filip several times, he's always a handful to defenders (that sad the standard of defending in tier 2 is pretty low), posses a good level of technical ability, and scores a mixture of goals. Would be a good addition, which would surly mean the end for Rudy.
OP, can I ask where the original article, quotes came from?

Our striker Bony is about 5 9.

I thought he was 6ft?

You're probably right then.Ain't seen him play yet but he doesn't look very tall from the pics i've seen.His dreads are about 4 inches tall mind.

1.82 according to wiki,which is about 5 11 i think.

Anyone found any corroboration of this story?

Do we not have a source for this story?

This player scored 20 goals for ligue 2 side Nantes last season helping them to promotion to ligue 1. His value is around 3 million

1.82 according to wiki,which is about 5 11 i think.

Do you think Laudrup will change your formation to accommodate both Michu and Bony? Or will he rotate both of them?

Our striker Bony is about 5 9.

I think he'll struggle in the Premiership at that age
