The season is not yet over with a one game to play and the possiblity of another to play, but the rumour mill keeps going on. There are a few rumour surrounding Cardiff players with free agent Jay Bothroyd sparking the most interest. He is after Premiership football but will he get the chance with Cardiff.
The Scottish press revealed that the Celtic boss Neil Lennon was at Reading with a striker in mind and watched Reading striker Shane Long and Jay Bothroyd. There seems to be nothing better for the Celtic boss then a freebie for out of the Cardiff City squad. He has already snapped up Joe Ledley and added young defender Adam Matthews who heads north at the end of the season, could Bothroyd be next. The under pressure Sunderland boss is also keen for the Cardiff striker it was reported early in the week and it article also mentioned wages of round £30,000 a week. He is now being linked with Serie A club Lazio for a summer move and not unknown territory for Bothroyd have spent a few seasons at Perugia earlier in his career.
Another player who could be moving again is loan midfielder Jason Koumas. His future with is parent club Wigan is unclear with his future with Cardiff also up in the air. Division One club Sheffield Wednesday are keen to sign him according to the South Wales Echo. His chances while with Cardiff have been limited due to a combination of fitness/sickness/injury and the number of loan players Cardiff City boss Dave Jones had to jiggle. The Cardiff boss can't really make decision about players until he knows which division they will be playing in.
Rumour and counter rumour is also surrounding the future of Cardiff City manager Dave Jones. he is again being linked with West Ham if the Eastenders are relegated it could be the end of present boss Avram Grant who it rumoured would be shown the door. The hierarchy at West Ham are under pressure with an enormous debt round their necks and see Jones has a boss who can build a team on a limited budget. He is nearly aways linked to vacant jobs that come up with teams in the lower reaches of the Premier League
