Maybe more signings Monday

Two in and all signed up for the upcoming season and possibility maybe two more on Monday, well one at least. The Cardiff City medical team are on standby for Monday with the arrival of out of contract former Middlesbrough defender Andrew Taylor who is heavily tip to have chosen to join the Bluebirds ahead of Bristol City or re-signing for Middlesbrough.

Because he is 24-years-old Middlesbrough are entitled to a compensation fee from the Welsh club because Taylor is a home-grown player. Taylor has talked of his sadness of moving on to pastures new but feels moving is best for his career, he said:

“It was my dream to play for Middlesbrough since I joined them when I was nine and it’s a hard thing to be leaving.

“I’ll miss it – I have a lot of friends here in the club.

“But, at this point of my career, it’s probably the time I should be moving on and experience something new in football and life.”

The Club and the fans will be hoping for a double signing with Dundee United striker David Goodwillie also deciding is future would be better served joining Cardiff. It is going to need a £2 million pound payment to prise him away from Dundee United all days ago they turned down a million pound off from Rangers.

Rangers need to come back with a bigger with Cardiff yet to make the step into the marketplace for the striker. News out of Scotland is that Cardiff will out bit Rangers for his signature. The dreaded rumour word again have I coming down to Cardiff for a look around this weekend. Cardiff also face competition from Championship rivals Blackpool who also looking at

Goodwillie as a possible target has they search for new striker options.

The Dundee United manager Peter Houston has advised Goodwillie to move to the English league if the opportunity arises. He believes the players off the field problems with be better severed with a move across the border than a move to Rangers and the hotbed of Glasgow rivalry between them and Celtic. Houston said:

"If Rangers match any bids from somebody else, then it is up to David where he goes.

"That will be fine by me because ultimately it will be his decision.

"But, in my opinion, he should get out of the limelight and start afresh elsewhere.

"There is no doubt that out of all the clubs mentioned, Rangers are by far the biggest.

"But as someone who knows David well and has worked with him for five years, with all the troubles he's had off the field, he would be better going elsewhere.

"Is it in David's best interests to go into the goldfish bowl that is Glasgow? I don't think so.

"What I'm saying is not a criticism of Rangers and also not because I don't want him coming back to play against us."
