So who are we signing?

First topic message reminder :

Just thought I'd try and narrow this down a bit!

The firmest rumour seems to be that of Djibril Cisse. Everyone is claiming we have signed him on loan, with City paying £25,000 per week and QPR paying the rest. He's also the Bellamy link, as they played together at 'Pool and left at the same time. He's an eccentric character, but I think he would cause serious damage at this level. He scored almost a goal a game in the Greek top league and the standard probably isn't dissimilar, although he's struggled at QPR this season (but hasn't everyone?).

After Cisse, there was rumours of Darren Bent...but are Villa really going to contribute towards his £80,000 a week wages, as I'm sure we wouldn't pay the whole amount? And he isn't likely to take a drop in wages. Skybet dropped him from 16/1 to 5/1 for the move to City however. Dwight Gayle has now signed for Peterborough, so that rules that out. Charlie Austin will probably stay until the end of the season with Burnley or move to the Premiership, Danny Graham is wanted by Reading and Norwich and he doesn't want to drop a level. And West Brom's Chris Wood keeps popping up (ahem) and he's available for £1.5million, could be a good punt as apparently Dave Jones wants Velcro at Sheffield Wednesday.

Frank Lampard has been told to find another club, and Big Sam wants him back at West Ham, which sparked Twitter rumours we were after Kevin Nolan. And there was a lot of talk on that one and I, for one, would love to see us sign Nolan. Beckham and Giggs are probably a no, as Malky seems to have ruled both out...although you can never say never with VT I suppose!

At the back, there was talk of a £2million bid for Celtic's Emilio Izaguirre, although that's gone quiet now that Celtic are in the next round in the Champions League. This is more likely to happen at the end of the season when we go up. Derby have publicly stated that we are not talking to them about signing John Brayford, which means we probably are. Don't know much about him, but West Ham were interested as well. Back at QPR, where the Malaysian link is pretty strong and seems to be working well for us, Jose Bosingwa has been fined two weeks wages and 'Arry has said he may or may not play for the team again, sparking another Twitter loan rumour, similar to the one about Nedum Onuoha, although both of these look unlikely.

Either way it should be a pretty exciting January and any of the above players would have a massive impact.

Anything I've missed?

Forget Jerome - he left us to go to a bigger club, so why would he come back?????

Rossco, another very reliable twitter source for club transfer news, has said that Malky is 100% uninterested in Cameron Jerome. The rumour is entirely invented by fans.

Sky Sports reporting that Craig Davies is discussing terms with Bolton. I think Sordell will join us as soon as the Davies deal is sealed.

Yeah Rossco is normally pretty good

Carl Curtis has just said City have definitely bid for Charlie Austin but Burnley hope to keep him until the summer and then he can move. Apparently we have also asked Huddersfield for their valuation of Jack Hunt. Also Sordell is still a likely signing.

Looks like those rumours were shite after all:

No. It is the real world that's wrong and the internet that's right. I'm getting a life size tattoo of Cameron Jerome's face done on my face and anyone who doesn't do likewise is a Jack.

By Christopher Priestly! (credit to trash) This is great news, didn't fancy Jermone would be assed enough to play fir us. Cardiff is all about fire and passion.

Davies has officially gone to Bolton so Sordell can't be far way now surely?

Spot on Kate1, that was the expected transfer needed to go through so that Sordell could move to us.

In other news, Brayford is coming!

The Ajax fanzine have said that Cardiff want their Congan winger Jody Lukoki, who Newcastle watched pre-Christmas

I saw that tweet and didn't understand it. How long have you been speaking Dutch? (as opposed to double dutch).

Apologies Slumdog in advance for missing you spotted this first. In my defence I go it from a different source

Guess what! ANOTHER new name to add to our rumours! Tweeted by a CCFC rumours account but with no definite source, if the Brayford deal falls through Reading's Chris Gunter is lined up for a return in replacement.

That's not bad but I'd rather keep McNaughton until the end of the season and go for Adam Matthews!
