Bothroyd happy to stay with Cardiff

If it not the back pages or the gossip pages (more on that later) Jay Bothroyd is in the news.

Some papers are saying an offer of £1.5million has been made others say Newcastle are preparing to make a bid, while the two clubs remain silent. When asked Cardiff City boss Dave Jones refused to shed any light on the subject while Newcastle boss Alan Pardew is looking to bring another striker and said at Jay Bothroyd is a player he had admired.

Bothroyd used Twitter to announce - “Newcastle is a great club but I’m really happy at Cardiff,’’ he went on to tweet. “OK I’m a Cardiff player, I’m focused on getting promotion with the Cardiff faithful.’’

Although getting the cash will not be easy has Chairman Mike Ashley unlikely to back his January transfer moves according to some pundits but the wallet could be open a bit for the right price, cheap.
