Parry Set For January Move?

It is being reported that former Bull Paul Parry is being lined up for a move away from Cardiff City in the January transfer window.

The club are said to have already turned down bids for the 27 year old, who scored the winner in today's 1-0 defeat of Sheff Utd. Chief Executive Peter Ridsdale has admitted that the current financial circumstances at the club make turning down further bids difficult:

"I can't hypothesise whether somebody is going to come in with big bids for players. We have had a big bid for one player this week and that player said he wants to stay with Cardiff City, which I am delighted about, so we've said no.

"My job is to balance the finances but not to cave in every time someone comes in with an offer for any of our players. It's regrettably one of the facts of life of Championship football is everybody is for sale. The only question is the price."

Parry has started over 100 games for the club since a move from Edgar Street three years ago, with the Bulls retaining a sell on clause. Fellow ex-Bull Tony Capaldi, along with three others, are all believed to have also been the subject of interest in recent weeks as the club fight High Court action from creditors Langston.
