As well has the possible dealings with David Goodwillie Cardiff are also believed to be having ongoing talks with Middlesbrough defender Andrew Taylor. With his contract with the Northeast club runs out in a matter of days and he does not look likely to sign the new one on offer from Middlesbrough. Manager Tony Mowbray looks resigned to losing Taylor who has been a target of the Cardiff boss Malky Mackay for a while now. Mowbray said:
"I'm pretty sure there will have been conversations between Andrew and Cardiff. I know Malky very, very well and I'm sure as soon as he got that job he was on the phone."The boy's got some decisions to make. But I think Cardiff are a different financial club to us, they could probably match if not better what we could offer financially."
He is rumoured to have come down to the area for talks and will also be talking with Bristol City while in the area they are also reported to have him in their sight. The defender has been on the radar of the new Cardiff boss Mackay since his time at Watford. Taylor spent the first half of last season on loan at Watford and Mackay wanted to make it a permanent deal, but the Watford board could not finance a deal and he returned to Middlesbrough. The fact that player and manager know one another so well could hopefully help the Bluebirds put off the deal.
