' JOSH VELA MOVE SHROUDED IN MYSTERY '

Sky Sports

13/01/16

Mystery surrounds Cardiff City’s rumoured signing of Bolton midfielder Josh Vela.

Reports in Lancashire insist the cash-strapped Trotters have accepted a £500,000 bid for the 22-year-old from the Bluebirds, but sources at the Welsh capital club have said that is not the case.

Indeed, Cardiff insist they are not interested in adding Vela to their squad in the January transfer window, let alone making a bid for the player.

' AND LAST WEEK IT HAPPENED WITH ANOTHER CLUB/PLAYER ' :shock:

07/01/16

Earlier this week, Heracles chairman Jan Smit confirmed that the club had accepted a bid from the English Championship side Cardiff City, but the player has now rejected the move.

AD are reporting that the lack of action from Cardiff City and the duration of negotiations are behind Weghorst’s decision to say no to a move to Wales.

The rejection doesn’t mean the 23-year-old will remain in Almelo though, with Scottish side Celtic also reportedly interested.
First their chairman says a deal is agreed, just personal terms to be sorted.

Then the player says Slade wants him but it is down to Tan.

Our club deny any interest in the player and no bid made.

The player gives City until next Monday to get the deal sorted.

Our club still denies a deal is agreed.

The player now rejects us :lol:

' Josh Vela confusion '

The latest twist in the Josh Vela to Cardiff confusion.

Bolton now say they have NOT accepted a bid from Cardiff for the midfielder, which stacks up with what we were told yesterday.

There had been reports a fee had been agreed between the two clubs but boss Neil Lennon said after Vela played in last night’s loss to Sheffield Wednesday: “There’s nothing on that. A bid came in but it wasn’t accepted and that’s it.

“I spoke to Josh before the game. He said he hadn’t heard anything.”

Annis, don't know maybe we were in for them, but the club has stopped any transfers, until Tan makes up his mind on Slade, who knows but a little odd, on the other hand guess it's that time of year players linked everywhere.

That would be dull given the window shuts in less than 3 weeks.

Either back Slade with cash to buy players to mount an unlikely promotion challenge or get rid and give someone else money to do so.

Or as is likely do nothing and just let the season drift to its end and start again afresh in June.

I think your right, Tan is refusing to give this idiot anymore money because he don't trust him anymore.

I rem Dalman saying to me a couple of months ago that all we needed was a player with pace and that Idris Saddi that Ran brought in, fits that bill. Plus he was def not keen on Slade being allowed to bring many more players in.

Interesting one.

The same guy that brought Ole in. Perhaps Tan is not too sure about Dalmans judgement.

Trying to undermine Slade?
Promised these players now keeping the money for the new manager.
