In the News of the World (Wales Edition) has two stories surrounding Cardiff City players. One involving Joe Ledley is an old one that could bring some joy to the Cardiff City bank manager and boss Dave Jones. Ledley could snub a deal with Celtic for a four-year deal with Premiership club Stoke City.
The Stoke City boss Tony Pulis has been a long term fan of the Cardiff City midfielder and once made a £6million offer for him back in 2008. A move to the Premier League for Ledley would mean Cardiff would receive compensation with the money going to Dave Jones who has been promised some of any transfer cash come in.
It’s down to Ledley now he must make a decision soon per-season training is only weeks he needs to sort his future out because it’s not going to involve Cardiff City next season. Stoke are offering what he wants Premier League football.
The other story is Cardiff attempt to line up a deal with Peter Whittingham who will be out of contract next season.
Whittingham is also drawing interest from a number of other teams Birmingham, West Ham, Sunderland, Nottingham Forest and Burnley have all been linked to some extent. However Cardiff plan to open talks this month about a new contract. Cardiff wants to keep him and also need get him back to stop him walking free next summer.
Whittingham is wants to stay he is enjoying being at Cardiff and according to a source he told the paper, “He’s just had the season of his life at Cardiff so he’s keen to stay”.
He joined the Bluebirds from Aston Villa and did have a bid of a love/hate relationship with the fans at first but won around the majority with his performances and speculator goals last season.
