Cardiff ex loanee now with loanee at Watford

Surprise, surprise the midfielder Danny Drinkwater who has only just returned to his parent club Manchester United, after a loan spell with the Bluebirds has joined Championship rivals Watford loan to the end of the season.

Betting among Cardiff fans reckon he would be off to Peterborough with the son, father relationship between Peterborough and Manchester United management.

It looks like the rumour that Sir Alex Ferguson recalled his player due to the lack of game was right. They would have been a bit scarcer with arrival on loan of Jay Emmanuel-Thomas followed by Aaron Ramsey. Emmanuel-Thomas is here until the end of the season but Ramsay is only here for a month and is looking to rejoin the Arsenal squad sooner rather then later, so an extension to the month loan deal is looking unlikely.

Still a few days left before the end of the transfer window shuts and with a weekend free, will have see what City boss Dave Jones planed over the next few days.

Drinkwater back at United

Sky Sports News is reported that Manchester United have recalled midfielder Danny Drinkwater from is season long loan. They (Sky) are sighting the lack of first team football has the reason.

The midfielder made seven league starts with two appearances from the bench plus three cup starts while with the Bluebirds. Is time at the Cardiff City stadium has been hit by injury and just has he looked to be on the round to fitness, he was hit by illness that stuck a number of Cardiff players.

With the arrival of Jay Emmanuel-Thomas and Aaron Ramsey competition in the middle of the field as hotted up and maybe United didn’t want to see him sideline allow there is a rumour he (Drinkwater) asked for the return to old Trafford.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson said at the time of the loan deal he wanted to see him playing games not warming the bench. Drinkwater’s return to Manchester could be short lived, if fit he could still go out on loan.

Drinkwater in the mix for tomorrow?

Cardiff City boss Dave Jones could have midfielder Danny Drinkwater back in contention to be in the squad tomorrow at Norwich. The midfielder came through a hard workout with the reserves in mid-week and should find himself utilized in some way or another on Saturday even if he is on the bench.

He had been out with an injury and a bout of illness on top that off, he has not played since Middlesbrough away in early December.

Along with Drinkwater fringe players Adam Matthews and Darcy Blake also had a run out in the mid-week game with the team mainly made up of youth players.

There was no Jay Bothroyd and Chris Riggott, Bothroyd is light training and is hoping to step that up next week to be ready for the Watford game a week Saturday. Riggott season is going from bad to worst, since signing for the Bluebirds in September fitness problems plus injury has seen him play only 84minutes and now could be out for two months with a nasty hamstring tear.
