' Its being reported Marshall/Fonte Swap Deal? '

Is there any possibility David Marshall will be involved in some sort of swap deal for Jose Fonte?

And if so, would you accept something like 5 million and Fonte for Marshall? :ayatollah:

Fonte & Marshall Swop?

It's being reported that Cardiff City have had an offer rejected for centre back Jose Fonte.

The 30 year old joined us back in January 2010 from Crystal Palace and has gone on to make 182 appearances for the club since then, scoring 13 goals in the league during that time.

With us supposedly turning down their offer a few days ago, we are also being linked with an £8million move for their goalkeeper David Marshall.

In Cardiff's one season in the Premier League, Marshall made more saves than any other keeper in the division but couldn't stop them from being relegated and he's attracted a lot of interest already from Spurs and Arsenal to name just two, but Cardiff do have him valued at around £15million.

The possibility of a player swop and cash deal around £8million is now being mooted in the press.

There are also some tentative links to Celtic's Fraser Forster.

Fonte doesn't want to leave and neither does Marshall. I would no way accept that when Marshall is our best contracted player

£10 mill plus Fonte and I'd think about it.

Keepers like Marshall dont come around every day though, he'd be very hard to replace.
