Looks like paper chat. It might be £9m if you include wages, add ons etc but even that is excessive.

I would be amazed if we considered a bid of more than £5m for him. As previous posters have said though, that kind of money would be better spent elsewhere on the squad... namely defence! We also need a defensive central midfielder with Medel leaving.

If VT wants to spend £9m on a proven goalscorer why should it bother us?

His value is not the issue. Perhaps he is not worth £9m but, if purchasing for that gets us back into the Premiership, then that surely makes good business sense.

Its not much of a gamble in my opinion. Assuming his potential sell on price is £5m we are potentially only risking £4m on a proven goalscorer.

Cardiff City have denied making a bid for their former striker Ross McCormack, BBC Wales understands.

The Bluebirds, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, sold McCormack to Leeds for an undisclosed fee four years ago.

It had been rumoured that the club wanted to re-sign him for a reported £9m.

But Cardiff have already signed three strikers this summer - Javi Guerra, Adam Le Fondre and Federico Macheda.

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has also signed Austrian midfielder Guido Burgstaller from Rapid Vienna and Kagisho Dikgacoi on a free from Crystal Palace.
