Quiet day at the CCS in or out

D-day for the transfer window Tuesday and it is more than likely Cardiff City boss Dave Jones has not quite finished with his shopping just yet. On the other side of the table there are players he would be willing to let go or loan out .

Inward traffic could see another centre-half on the way in, Jones was look towards Celtic and  Glenn Loovens with a eye to bring the Dutch defender back to Cardiff. However, it would seem he wants to stay and slug it out at Celtic. Another target was Middlesbroughcentre-half Chris Riggott who  trained at the Vale recently and may be the next option for the Cardiff boss.

Time is running out on players he wants to move out either via loan or sell. So far the only player to be loan out is young defender Jonathan Meades on loan until November with Norwegian side FK Moss. In his first game he picked up a red card after receiving two yellow.

Everyone knows that Ross McCormack can go but after comments made by boss Jones it would seem Chris Rae can leave to find a new club saying he was taking to Leeds as well. McCormack is in talks over personal terms which are normally the delicate part of any deal and with Leeds chairman Ken Bates dislike of agents and the fact he was unhappy that McCormack's leaked the deal to the press, it could be tense.

Leeds is reported to have some competition for McCormack from other Championship clubs. Rea’s agent Blair Morgan, expressed surprise at Jones' comments, saying he had received no contact from either club.

"I'm aware of some interest but Dave Jones hasn't spoken to me and Leeds hasn’t been in touching either.

"It's something we'd look at very seriously, but I can't say any more until things move forward."

Jones could be will to let Anthony Gerrard go, he has been briefly been link with Division One club Sheffield Wednesday and surprising Premiership club West Ham.

Michael Chopra, Jay Bothroyd and Peter Whittingham have all be link with interest from other clubs but the club are sticking to their policy of unless it is a crazy offer, they stay. Both Bothroyd and Whittingham are out of contract at the end of the season leading some clubs to chance they luck.

They are looking at the past finances under Peter Ridsdale all three would have been sold, but not under the new regime. Malaysian backers are a million miles away from our past owners, there are looking to bring some stability back to the club.
