Devaney to Cardiff for £250k?!?!

Jones looking to bring Barnsley winger to City

CARDIFF City are keen on winger Martin Devaney.

The lively and dangerous Barnsley player was watched by Bluebirds’ scouts a number of times this season.

Manager Dave Jones wants a wide midfield player who can deliver accurate crosses into the strikers and Devaney is that type of player.

Barnsley manager Simon Davey wants to keep Devaney at Oakwell and the player has signed a new contract.

But it would only take a small fee, probably around £250,000, to tempt the cash-strapped club to part with Devaney.

Cardiff City are to name their official retained list later today and with many players on their way out manager Dave Jones will be working flat-out to strengthen his squad over the next few weeks.

New Zealand international hitman Chris Killen is a major target along with a goalkeeper to take over from the departing Neil Alexander.

Devaney is another on Jones’ wanted list, although Cardiff have not yet made a bid for the player.

Devaney has scored 12 goals in 92 first team appearances for Barnsley over the last two seasons.

He started his playing career as a trainee with Coventry City and moved on to Cheltenham Town and Watford before joining Barnsley in 2005.

He has netted 57 goals in more than 300 first team appearances during his career.

WATCHED Cardiff scouts have kept a close eye on Martin Devaney.</p>

Are we still cash strapped?

Think someone would get lynched if that happened! We need to start building not go backwards!

 

wtf.. highly doubt it tbh

 

wtf?

Hasn't he just signeda new contract? If so why would we only want &pound;250K? Ridsdale is doing this on purpose.

 

The cash-strapped club?

They're obviously not inside football!</p>

Might explain why we are looking at Simek, the Hungarian winger though.</p>

RE: Are we still cash strapped?

no point signing no contract then.......

 

LOL

LOL

 

i did find the "accurate crosses" remark hilarious..

 

Lets sue em for tapping up contracted players then well not be cash strapped nt

 

Cash-strapped?

How ironic coming from Cardebt City.

 

I'd be amazed if there was any truth at all in that. nt

 

West Ham can keep him.

Very much doubt Devaney would go.

 

Trebuchet...dint he play for France in t'World cup

 

RE: Hit the nail on the head there fella

This report is from the back page of the South Wales Echo - the afternoon daily around here.

Lets just say it's not known for it's journalistic accuracy

Anyway, more to the point, judging by the reaction on here he must be half decent. Maybe worth a look after all (hidebehindsofa)

 

Blows hot and cold ............

...... on his day, very good, but has too many 'gone missing' performances, in my opinion

 

You've probably got less money than we have!

Anyway you've got a new ground to build and P.Riddy's in charge so lots of fish to pay for as wel!l

 

RE: After last Thursday we have

... deposited a £58m cheque with the Council for them to control the building of the said stadium.

Still reckon my missus spends more than that each day but there you go...

 

Devaney Is Under Contract For Two Years And.......

is our main winger. So if the club were to sell him for less than a straight million they had better fear and get ready for a backlash with season ticket sales.
