City chasing Goodwillie

Cardiff City are looking to add a new striker to their depleted strike force with Dundee United striker David Goodwillie rumoured to be the target. BBC Scotland is reporting a spokesman at the Scottish club saying after an initial enquiry Cardiff have now entered full discussions with a view to him signing with the club.

Rangers have also been interest in Goodwillie, but they have not willing to pay the £2 million asking price. The report suggests that Cardiff could have competition from a Premiership club and there is interest from Championship rivals of the Bluebirds. In January there were two offers made and were turned down for the striker after failing to reach their asking price.

Dundee United manager Peter Houston said about the possibility of losing his top scorer,

"I'm caught between a rock and a hard place with Goody.

"If he goes, it'll allow me to strengthen the team, but I'd be foolish to want rid of him. He scores between 15 and 20 goals a season.

"But we're a provincial club and, if somebody offers the right money for him, he'll be off.

"Rangers enquired about what his valuation was. The chairman told them what that is and I think Rangers felt it was a bit too much for them.

"So far, there has been no bid and no money on the table from them.

"I think the feeling from whoever spoke to the chairman was 'it's a bit too rich for us'."

The young Scottish international striker through youth levels with Scotland and made his full international cap last season. Could he be on is way to Cardiff will have to wait and see if comes off it will be Cardiff 2-0 Rangers.
