Looks like Russell Slade could be looking at taking Morsy to Cardiff....that said their fans seem less than impressed at the thought of signing him as he's only just been promoted from league 2!!

One person says that. The rest seem to be giving the idea the benefit of the doubt.

However if the guy who says they won't be spending big for a while is right then there's no way they are getting him, dig deep Russell!

£2m to you Cardiff City.

He can do championship football no problem. £2m would be a bargain for them

We'd take that I'm quite sure.

[martatcross]

cant do nowt till January and if they come with more than they can afford then they stand half a chance

[Trigger]

2 million to a club in the 1st season of receiving parachute payments? Peanuts!

Edit: are we gonna wipe out 50% of our debt off come January? It's certainly gonna be an interesting transfer window. But for the record, I want neither morsy or Doyle to go, even for £2 million each

£3million then we talk. ryan and morsy are central to our success.

[Martyg]

You can't replace what Morsy does for the team, future captain aswell for me. And doyles goals can't be replaced ethier

I think there will be some very disappointed people when we sell him. We'll probably accept an offer similar in size to that in the cooper deal.

Johnson goes back December, Morsy will probably go January and suddenly we might start to struggle. We need to get near that 50 points sooner rather than later

Sleep deprivation is a real problem! Have you tried counting sheep?

It will be interesting over the next few weeks if this rumour has any legs at all. There's no smoke without fire and something has been picked up. Can't see it being anything like the 2-3 million that's being talked about. The lad has a value ..more to us at the moment than a prospective Championship club. The window is still a couple of months away so if there is any truth in it then they've obviously got their enquiry in first. Think there will be others sniffing around as well...just hope it doesn't affect the kids form for us as he is a vital part of our squad.

It will be interesting to see if DA wishes to cash in or keep the squad together for a promotion push which is now realistic

[Westbars Spireite]

We'll know more about how realistic it is come the window opening.

If Cooper went for £800k into the last year of his deal, and he was a defender, I would expect Morsy, as a midfielder with another year after this left, to be looking at around £1.5 million, maybe a lot depends on Cooks idea of realistic replacements and their availability..did he let slip in a recent interview with peak that he had targets? Also prices tend to get inflated around January. If we did sell him I would expect the fee to be more £1.5 million than £1 million.

If an offer comes in that meets our valuation then he'll be given the opportunity to talk to them. DA has made it clear that selling players is one way of clearing the debt with some of the fee doing that and some being reinvested in the squad. Cardiff got more last season for finishing bottom of the Premiership than Man U did the previous year for winning it so they will have cash sloshing about its just a case of whether their nutter owner is going to let Slade spend it!

I'm half of the opinion there is nothing in this as it seems early for a Jan window rumour and there isnt a lot on the thread to substantiate it the last time i read it short of a mate telling someone they're interested in him.

What gives the rumour legs is Slade who will know about Morsy, he'd need to be planning now for a budgeted January transfer spree

[Westbars Spireite]

I imagine his agent is rubbing his hands together already.

Morsy played very well at Orient. Im sure he's been at the back of Slades mind ever since.
