McCormack up for grabs

The Player

According to Ross McCormack agent Willie McKay Cardiff City are looking to put out on loan or secure a transfer for the Scottish striker. Over the last few weeks he has been linked with Ipswich and more recently Hull City.

News of his availability on loan should interest a number of clubs only last season he was valued at £5million by Cardiff, scaring Hull City off. It was reported at the time the then manager Phil Brown had offered Cardiff £3.5million which was turned down out of hand. McCormack has been concerned about the lack of first team football. He has found it nearly impossible to break up the partnership of Jay Bothroyd and Michael Chopra and had to settle on playing wide in midfield.

He cost City £125,000 in the summer of 2008 from Motherwell early that season Premiership club Wigan had offered £1million to sign him.

This agent Willie McKay told skysports.com:

The Agent

"It is amazing how fortunes can change so quickly in football as just 12 months ago Cardiff rejected offers of over £3million for Ross and now they are willing to let him leave on loan.
"Ross had a great first season for Cardiff, but last season was blighted by injuries and the fact that he was played out wide rather than as a central striker.
"Ross is now fully fit and raring to go and Dave Jones has been great as he has allowed us to speak to interested clubs and that is what we are doing now.
"Unfortunately Ross has been messed about by a few interested teams, but Ross just wants to go out and play football whether it is a permanent deal or a loan move.
"Ross is a proven goalscorer for club and country and whoever ends up getting him will be getting a great signing as he will help them challenge for honours."
