Cardiff City had competition if they are in the race for Dundee United striker David Goodwillie as a source at the Scottish club as revealed two offers have come in for the striker yesterday. One of them is rumoured to be from Cardiff City, the SPL club turned it down.
A club spokesman told BBC Scotland:
Dundee United have set a fee of £2 million for their player who signed one-year extension on his contract that will keep in Tannadice until 2013 back in March. They turn down two offers in January with failed to reach their asking price and are in no hurry to sell, but United manager Peter Houston would dearly love some extra funds to bolster his squad.
A club spokesman told BBC Scotland:
"No-one has met our valuation yet, but that doesn't stop people putting offers in. We've had two today. It's ongoing."Neither of the offers where made by Rangers who look to be price out of the race. The Rangers owner Craig Whyte believes £2 million is too high price for the striker. New Cardiff City boss Malky Mackey ready successfully raid Dundee United and snatched midfielder Craig Rangers from under the nose of Rangers who also want to sign him.

"I'm caught between a rock and a hard place with Goody," he told BBC Scotland.
"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."
