Bargain shopping for Jones

Other managers have the world, the WAGS have Cricket clothing boutique and the like and Cardiff City boss Dave Jones as Scotland and the connection, shopping.

According to the South Wales Echo the City boss Dave Jones as been on a scouting mission watching Hearts v St Johnstone Tuesday night and was at Dundee United v Motherwell last night. He was reported to be checking over a number of players, who could or could not be come to Cardiff.

Hearts Ismael Bouzid - Central defender

Hearts Marius Zaliukas - Centre back/Defensive midfielder

Dundee United Craig Conway - midfielder/winger

Motherwell - Mark Reynolds defender

The Scotsman is suggesting at Jones’ main targets’ he was watching was Bouzid and Reynolds in his seach to strength his defence. There might be bargains to be had up north but they need to be up for the riggers of the Championship. Over the news Jones has had some great buys but there as been some duds.

It would not be easy to do a deal for Reynolds has he plays of Motherwell who had a run-in with Cardiff last summer. It was over payment for another player Cardiff signed from them right-back Paul Quinn the payment was later but the new Malaysians had only just really got their feet under the table.

They were getting to grips with the debts has they need to but the Bellamy deal incensed the Motherwell chairman John Boyle. With the worlds media at the Cardiff City Stadium for the Bellamy conference him pop up on Sky Sports News just before threatening to issue a winding-up order on Cardiff City over the than outstanding debt. He also threatened to sending bailiffs to the ground on match day to take possession of all the day’s takings.

Only one new signing to-date! Players and club could be holding out for the madness of the last few days of the transfer window in hope of a better deal, time will tell.
