Not for Cardiff in my opinion:
Ikpeazu 'doesn't have a future' at Middlesbrough
Former Cardiff City loanee Uche Ikpeazu has been told he 'doesn't have a future at Middlesbrough', according to the Northern Echo.
The Bluebirds took the striker on loan last term and he gained admirers for scoring a couple of important goals while Cardiff were attempting to wade out of a relegation struggle at the beginning of the year.
Boro boss Chris Wilder, though, clearly doesn't see him in his plans, with the Echo stating the 27-year-old does not have a future with the club, with Boro’s recruitment team currently 'actively involved in discussions aimed at moving them on'.
“There are some players that are not part of the plans that we will be looking to move on,” Wilder has said. “There are also a couple we’ve put bombs under in the first team.
“I’ve had it at my previous club where I’ve said to them, ‘You’re not part of the plans’, but for whatever reason they ended up being in the end. They came back after the summer and went, ‘I don’t really want to leave this place’, and they got their finger out.
“There are a couple in the group that could fall into that category, but if they go the other way, then I’ve ultimately made the right decision. But if they come back and prove me wrong, that’s good for me because I still think they’re good players and they could have something to offer.
“Sometimes, there’s a bit of psychology involved in a couple of them to test them out if I don’t think that they’ve done enough, but they could have more to come. If they can, they will add to the group, and if they don’t, then there is more work for us to do.”
