Cardiff City have signed goalkeeper Chris Kirkland on an emergency loan from Wigan Athletic, it was reported in the week he had turned down the chance to join the Bluebirds.
David Marshall was first choice keeper most of the season until an on-going elbow injury reared it's ugly head. Although he has been on the bench as cover for Tom Heaton the club feel it's time for an operation to fix the problem.
He is third choice keeper at Wigan. Wigan fans are suggesting he was told in no uncertain terms he was third choice and it was unlikely to change, so a move would be benefical.
He started his career at Coventry City before joining Liverpool in a £6m deal. His move was unsuccessful and was loaned to West Brom and later Wigan while with Liverpool. Wigan decided to sign him in 2006 and had his most prolific goalkeeping spell in his career playing some 125 games in total. This season has seen him drop down the pecking order and already he a loan stint with Leicester City now he is a Bluebird until the end of the season.
Although this is just paper rumours until we hear something official from either club.
