RUSSELL SLADE "I HOPE THERE IS SOME MONEY"

RUSSELL SLADE "I HOPE THERE IS SOME MONEY"

Russell Slade “I hope there is some money from the Kenwyne deal of course.”


Slade admits the decision to sell Jones is purely financial with the striker's move to a foreign club set to free up the wage bill in the Welsh capital.


Russell Slade “I’ve no idea about a fee. You will have to speak to the chairman. It’s a financial decision because he is on a huge wage.



Cardiff City boss Russell Slade saw his side earn a vital win over Blackburn, but admitted his attentions have turned to replacing striker Kenwyne Jones.

Kewyne Jones is leaving the club and is in talks with a foreign club, thought to be one in Dubai.

Last season’s top scorer, Jones will be a big loss for Cardiff, but his replacement against Rovers, Joe Mason, got the winner that moves the Bluebirds back to within four points of the Championship play-off places.

Mason might be the club’s top-scorer with six now, but Slade said a new player was needed in the now-open transfer window to partner Tony Watt whose loan deal from Charlton should be made permanent this month too.



“Kenwyne is in dialogue with a club abroad and that is likely to be concluded shortly,” said Slade.

“I’ve no idea about a fee. You will have to speak to the chairman. It’s a financial decision because he is on a huge wage.

“When Kenwyne is on the team-sheet the opposition see that as something that needs to be dealt with. He’s a real threat, particularly in the air.

“We did not have the threat against Blackburn and we need to bring that threat back.

“We need the option of having a target man. With Kenwyne going a big striker would be a necessity.”



As for bringing players in, Slade has targeted at least three fresh faces, adding: “I would like to think it will be a busy few weeks.

“We’ve targeted the players we would like, we are hoping to bring them in however tight financially it might be.

“I hope there is some money from the Kenwyne deal of course.”

As I wrote in my topic Annis, Slade wouldn't want to get rid of Jones but circumstances, or the owner, dictates.

Got to have a little sympathy with the manager, he is not responsible for the wages KJ is on.

Hope he is given the opportunity to replace Jones.

Carl, this is proof Slade is being told to sell players even when he wants and needs them.

As do 90% of the managers in English football.

I wouldn't give him a penny though, play the players we have on the books.

Jones clearly does not want to play for the club, thats reason enough to get rid of him.Attitude has been disgraceful

If I was Slade I would want KJ gone, I'm quite sure some of the players are a jelous of the wages he's on, especially when he puts little effort in. Good riddance I say, hopefully we can replace him with a younger hungrier Striker.. If he goes it's good business by the club Wether we get a fee or not..

Jones actually did want to stay with us, but not on the wages City were offering him and they were well less than half of what he gets now.

But I don't blame the club on this or Jones.

Slade wanted Jones to stay,but Slade does not get involved in the money side.

Then he can buy someone and loan then out

I'm just glad Jones is going never rated him.

Just goes to show how clueless Slade is then. If he thinks a Dozen or so goals from KJ is good value..
