Revell is he going or staying?
Sat Jan 09, 2016 2:26 pm
CARDIFF City boss Russell Slade has denied claims by Rotherham manager Neil Redfearn that both clubs have discussed a deal for Bluebirds’ striker Alex Revell.
Redfearn insisted yesterday that there had been negotiations between the Millers and the Welsh club with a view to seeing the 32-year-old frontman return to the club he joined Cardiff from a year ago. The Millers boss, whose team are fighting Championship relegation, said there had been discussions, insisting: “Alex is somebody we’ve looked at.
“There’s been dialogue between the clubs, but getting players isn’t as straightforward as it seems.” But Slade, who is preparing his side for an FA Cup third round clash at home to Shrewsbury on Sunday, seemed to pour cold water on Redfearn’s comments and said he would need to think carefully about allowing Revell to go now that Kenwyne Jones had departed the club.
“That dialogue has not taken place with me or, to my knowledge, anyone else at this football club,” said Slade.
“We would need to look at the situation again. We’ve already lost a target- type centre forward.
The circus continues!m
“We have to be mindful we are not shooting ourselves in the foot and we have enough players.”
Revell has failed to hit the heights in the Welsh capital since his arrival with three goals for the Bluebirds in 28 appearances.
He recently saw a loan spell at Wigan cut short due to personal reasons.
Another Bluebirds’ striker linked with a move away this month has been Federico Macheda with Cardiff already having received an enquiry about the availability of the 24 -year-old who has seen his season hit by a back injury.
The Italian frontman is now fit again and trying to get back in the first team and Slade said letting Macheda go was another difficult decision at this point as he looks to add to his front-line in the January transfer window.
Slade added: “It’s the same for Macheda. Kiko’s had very little football to date.
“We’ve worked hard to get him in situation where he is now fit, he’s just short of match time now.”

I reckon he was going to let him go thinking we had Weghorst tied up.
Tan pulled the rug from under him and he's had to pull out of the Revell deal or be left with no target man
It's not good IMHO, for the club or the lad

Isn't that just typical of our club these days? We don't know who to believe?

Old kenwyne I believe and I'm with the majority on here that he had to go but not when we haven't got a replacement lined up.
