*Wales Online saying*

Wales online saying as Cardiff city close in on Johnny Russell.. Do they know something we don't??

Johnny Russell is a real fans' favourite at Derby County.

As the Bluebirds try to lure the Scottish international from the Ipro Stadium for £1m, Rams fans have taken to their keyboards to insist that's not enough.

With new boss Paul Clement bringing in big names like Tom Ince, Andreas Weimann and Darren Bent already this summer, it looks as though Russell might be surplus to requirements, allowing him to join Sammy Ameobi as the latest big-name player to arrive at Cardiff.

But on the day the megabuck East Midlands outfit, who missed out on the play-offs on the Championship season's final day, landed a £250,000 transfer kitty by winning the SkyBet Transfer Fund draw, fans were queuing up to have their say about the Bluebirds' bid for Russell on the Derby Telegraph's website.

Millwall away game last season - after a good spell of play Johnny turned to the Derby fans and roared "come on!".

"The Derby fans responded, the noise level doubled, and we really got behind the team. That kind of passion's vital.

"Yes he has his price and may not be in the starting 11, but I'd be very sad to see him go."
And LittleoverRam said: "Every player has their price, regardless of how popular they are, but £1m is nowhere near enough for Super Johnny Russell."

However, postmanx thinks that Russell doesn't score enough goals.

"Reckon he does not score enough goals to play striker however his all action & positive influence is worth as much in a team.

"Think JR might want to be regular starter though , so might wish to move on but the fee needs to be higher."

Paper talk. I'll believe it when it's offical, JR would be a fantastic signing though.

Agree 100%.
