SOME ARE STILL CLAIMING BRIGHTON WILL BE IN FOR ZOHORE

IF ZOHORE JOINS BRIGHTON, CARDIFF SHOULD SNAP UP THIS PREMIER LEAGUE STRIKER
By: Charlie Firth


Cardiff are leading the Championship pack so far this season after an excellent start under Neil Warnock.


Tuesday night’s defeat to Burton Albion has been the only hiccup in a perfect start for the Bluebirds, which has seen them win every game in the Championship so far this year, the latest a 2-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.

There have been many superb names in the Cardiff eleven that have starred in their excellent start, including Kenneth Zohore, who finished last season on a high and has carried his form into this year.

But Premier League clubs are sniffing, and Brighton appear to be keen on the Danish youngster, and look ready to tie up a deal to add to their fire power.

It will leave Cardiff with a gaping hole up front but money to spend, and Neil Warnock may be pleased to see the transfer of Chris Wood bring Ashley Barnes onto the market.

Burnley are ready to listen to offers for Barnes, who has now plummeted down the pecking order at Turf Moor, and if Zohore leaves Cardiff, they should absolutely be ready to snap him up.

The 27-year-old had a very decent season in the Premier League last year, six goals, a respectable amount for a man who was in and out of the Burnley team last year.

He had improved since his last spell in the Championship, and in his three full seasons in the division he has managed 37 goals.

Barnes would prove a shrewd addition to Cardiff’s ranks and would replace Zohore extremely well.

I am firmly of the belief that Kenneth Zohore will still be a Cardiff City player come 1st September :thumbright:

Neil Warnock has said (quote): "He is going nowhere!" and it seems Vincent Tan is backing his manager

Yet rumours persist in some media quarters, despite Brighton breaking their record on Raphael Dwamena

No wonder Neil Warnock wants to turn his phone off and us City fans cannot wait to see the end of August with our performing squad intact! :ayatollah:

All this might be true,but regardless of what Warnock or Indeed Tan may want once Zohore or his agent decide its time to leave then there is little or nothing anyone can do,and that's how it should be.

I don't actually agree with that statement (I always believe both sides should honour their agreed contracts) but it is seemingly the way of the footballing world :(

Thankfully, Zohore himself has said he is more than happy at City and thinks the current manager will only improve him further. At his age, he is in a strong position and will either go up with City or possibly transfer to a club that meets his potential and/or ambitions next season

I just don't think it will be this season! :thumbright: :ayatollah:

If any club makes an offer that meets or exceeds the club's valuation of him, he will be gone. Everything in this game is about money, and if Cardiff are made an offer that is too good to turn down, you can bet that they won't turn it down.

No problem,and I'm with you ,l hope the lad stays with the City and if that's what the fans want fires the club to the premier league as for hououring contracts then maybe Warnock should stop trying to push Noone John and a few others out of the door

Why shouldn't NW want them out? They weren't his signings, and if he thinks they aint up to it so be it ;)

I think the point was it works both ways, but I agree that if any player is surplus to requirements then he has a personal and/or moral choice to make, i.e. stay and run his contract down or (as Emyr Huws did so creditably) go play regular football somewhere else perhaps on less money

However, to do that the player's remaining contract should be honoured with an acceptable recompense. City, to their credit despite us slating the original contract figures of some, have been pretty honourable in that area

I guess it is a little contradictory in some ways to expect a player in the opposite position to stay when he has had a 'better' offer elsewhere. However, again I would point to the contract and the player should accept that unless acceptable recompense is coming the other way he should 'honour' it in the good faith with which he signed it in the same as the club would have to

A complex matter indeed, which is why current 'top' players are moving of such vast sums of money and why (IMHO) if Kenneth Zohore continues to improve at City it will be a win-win for all sides when we are either in the Premier League or he is sold for good money (far more than is being bandied around at the moment) and sees his own wages increase dramatically either way :ayatollah:

Noone .John etc will be payed until their contracts are up..unless they want to leave..they do not have to go anywhere no matter how often NW broadcasts that he would like them gone.
when a player is hell bent on leaving...as you say,there is nothing anyone can do.

Agreed,the player ultimately holds the power,Sigurdson at the Jacks as an example,and let's be honest can you say the jacks lack ambition by allowing him to leave,if that was the case then they would have not given him the contract in the first place,maybe the answer is that no one can be transferred until their contract runs out,can't see owners agreeing to that some how

Forgot to add that ok any player can if he wishes run down his contract,but l guarantee that those players will not get a game for said club and in today's current football climate you can quickly disappear of the radar as will happen to the City players like Noone and John if they do not move on in the near future
