Paul Quinn in line for a contract extension ????

Cardiff City are preparing for next season by offering full back Paul Quinn a contract extension that could see him stay at the Cardiff City Stadium until 2013. It is a bit early for the club to do this as he is only one year into a three-year contract.

He has not had an easy time since joining the Bluebirds for Motherwell in a £300,000 deal last summer. A section of the fans has been giving him a hard time under rating him and questioning Dave Jones selection at times. Last week push in the penalty area at Preston that lead to the first goal did not help and he lost out to young defender Adam Matthews for some games along with Kevin McNaughton when he is fit.

The South Wales Echo where the rumour started is suggesting the move to cover the expected sale of Matthews in the summer to Manchester United who along with a number of Premiership club have checked the youngest out. The rumour is that the Manchester club has done some secret handshake with the Bluebirds for them to have first call on the young defender.

With not many people talking with the Echo a source close to the player told the paper, “Paul has been made a good offer and he’s keen to remain and build on what he has done so far with Cardiff City.”

If he does sign and stay he find himself lonely if the fortunes of the club do not pick up, eight players are out of contract in the summer and along with any player worth any value up for grabs and could also find the door opened for them
