We are in talks with him.
Is he any good?

Versatile, plays centre half for Wales and when he gets the opportunity to play for us he generally plays right back, but has played as a defensive midfielder.
I think it will do Darcy good to go elsewhere and play his football as he is pretty much out of favour here.

Not good really. He covers a few areas but I can't say I'll be too gutted to see him go.
Some City fans seem to really like him but he has off the field issues with drinking and his attitude has never been good enough. No manager has really taken a chance on him and that says alot.
Has one or two brilliant games here or there though like when he marked Rooney out the game at Wembley but they are few and far between.
Hopefully we'll get a good fee though

Average in a lot of positions but not excellent in any. The ideal sub though.
No where near good enough to start for us but decent back up.
If he can get the right partner I see him as a CB personally.
Good signing for a lower champ club.

Shut up ffs, I thought we were trying to sell him!
Ignore him Palace Fan, Darcy is a superb player, but we've already got 2 fantastic centre backs and 2 fantastic full backs!
Darcy has got to be worth £3 million worth of anybodys money!

Cheers for the answers.
We really players so any new additions are welcome.

Decent player, he could never break into the first team though. He'd do well for you.

Seriously though mate, Darcy is a decent full back, but as you probably know, he plays at centre back for Wales, which IMO is his best position!
He played there alongside Anthony Gerrard a couple of seasons ago for us and we went on a superb run at the end of the season, until Gerrard got injured just before the Play Off Final against Blackpool!
He's only 5' 10" tall, but he wins a lot of balls in the air, reads the game well, certainly isn't slow, but his main failing on the football pitch, is that his passing sometimes goes astray!

There's been many interesting debates regarding Darcy, good enough for Wales but not for Cardiff City. Gary Speed and Chris Coleman seemed to like him, whilst he didn't fit in with Dave Jones that often, and it appears to be the same with Malky. Good player, and judging by your defence at the moment, he'll do great for you. Can see him playing centre back for you as that is where he plays for Wales, hope he does well.
