Alex Smithies deal latest
As we understand it, Cardiff City HAVE lodged a bid for Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper Alex Smithies, as has been reported.
The figure is said to be £4million, which would take the Bluebirds’ total spend for the summer so far to £18million - with more signings believed to be on the way.
Smithies has another two years left on his QPR contract, hence the fee, and he has the same agent as Cardiff stars Nathaniel Mendez-Laing and Danny Ward.
Warnock also knows him from his brief 2015 spell as first team advisor and caretaker manager back at QPR.
We’re not expecting an announcement on this today, but keep your eyes peeled for a potential done deal later in the week. Exciting times as Cardiff look to secure signing Number 3.

I’m not too sure on this one as I feel we need strengthening in other departments first.
If there’s sufficient funds for more signings then fair enough as I’m all for competition but we need a new striker and midfielder at least.
But all in all In Warnock We Trust

The way I see this one
We need 2 players for each position in the premier
Etheridge for me could be anything but defo good enough for me
So smithies is brilliant cover or even first choice at a great price
Win win dilly dilly

There isn't a rule against talking to more than one player. If he's materialised before others, it can't be helped.
