Chopra/Ipswich

Tue Jun 15, 2010 12:29 pm

Off the Football rumours site maybe, but the Chopra piece bear a resemblence to what Annis said on here a few days ago. If this piece on Chops is there or thereabouts are the other snippets of info to be considered? Annis, what is your take on the Chopra statement.....

...."Rumours from South Wales.

Keane losing patience with Cardiff City on Chopra deal. Cardiff insisting on £4.5M with 80% up front and the rest within 12 months. Keane offered £3.75M, 50% up front the rest based on goals, appearances and promotion over a 3 year period. If deal not agreed by the weekend Keane is walking away and looking elsewhere.

Apart from Ledley, Cardiff not looking to move anyone out, and are in discussions with James Harper, and looking to start negotiations with Robert Korens agent after the World Cup. The Standing joke of Koumas may also be coming to a head with an offer on the table for the midfielder. A deal for Steve Howard is done and is to be announced on July 1st.

Swansea are keen on Cardiff's out of contract Tony Capaldi and Sheff Wed Skipper Darren Purse as cover for the soon departing Ashley Williams. They hope to revive a £500,000 move for Nathan Tyson after a permanent move last January fell through when the two clubs failed to agree on a fee. Craig Beattie is interesting a few clubs after expressing a desire to leave following his falling out of favour with the management. "

Virtually exactly what we have been saying on here, City standing strong on the situation, Ipswich not prepared to go higher :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
