"It does not look good.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's bid to bring his former Molde striker Mame Biram Diouf to Cardiff City is on hold after his club Hannover failed to bring their preferred replacement to the Bundesliga.



Cardiff City's strike target Mame Diouf has been told he must stay at his club Hannover 96 after they failed in their bid to bring Chilean frontman Nicolas Castillo to the club.

The Bundesliga outfit had always said they would be prepared to let the former Manchester United and Molde striker leave for South Wales if they signed a replacement.

But after bids to bring the 20-year-old South American from Universidad Católica failed this weekend, manager Dirk Duffner has told Diouf he must stay put.

Reports in Germany say Hannover, who have signed Latvian Artem Rud?evs from Hamburg on loan, had agreed terms with Castillo, who has played once alongside Gary Medel in the Chile team, but his club set the transfer fee too high.

That led the manager to keep his Senegalese striker at their winter training camp in Turkey, saying: “We have negotiated long but at the moment Castillo is not coming."

"It does not look good.

“We would be willing to sell Dioufif we get another striker, so for now Mame will stay at the club.”

Ah well ,lets go get someone else ,I'm sure Ole will have another target .

Fish and chip wrapping.

Finnbogasson

I thought this bloke Rudnev on loan from Hamburg was the replacement. That is what earlier reports seemed to suggest. He also seems a more like for like for Diouf as I think he is 6ff 1 whereas the Chilean bloke is only 5ft 9.
Rudnev wasn't mentioned in Gavins thread which pasted the same article. Looks like they have just added it.

As Annis would say hmmmmmm.....

Good because I'd rather Finnbogason.

Exactly the same, but unlikely but we may as well try!

Sign Rhodes instead.
