Ched chase hots up
CARDIFF City could be come the latest club to express an interest in Ched Evans, The Star understands.
Evans, who will be allowed to leave Sheffield United following their relegation from the Championship last season, also boasts admirers at Middlesbrough, but their efforts to prise him away from Bramall Lane have become entangled by red tape.
Although United have refused to publicly discuss their summer rebuilding plans, there is an acceptance behind the scenes that Evans must be off-loaded before the League One campaign gets underway in August.
Cardiff, who are believed to have handed new manager Malky Mackay a substantial transfer war chest after prising him away from Watford, could exploit the situation by offering Evans an immediate route back into football’s second tier.
However, they have yet to make contact with United.
Sources in the principality yesterday reported the Wales striker, who has scored 13 goals in 71 appearances for United, features on a provisional list of targets which also reportedly includes international colleague Craig Bellamy, Scotland’s Craig Conway and Andrew Taylor of Middlesbrough.
Evans cost £3m when he arrived from Manchester City in 2009 but has yet to realise his potential in South Yorkshire.
Leicester City manager Sven Goran Eriksson is known to have mentioned the 22-year-old during discussions with his coaching staff at The Walkers Stadium.
But recently insisted he has not submitted a bid.

Thursday, June 23, 2011 at 11:15 AM@36 DB, Quote myself ......."16diesel_dogg Wednesday, June 22, 2011 at 02:00 PM @7 DB granted it was the Div below but how can you possibly rather have your strikers all 5 of the blunt shooters scored 3more in total than Mellor scored on his own".........I did say league below. And that is not my theory. @35 mackem, personally I would like to keep him, no doubt, offer him the money maybe 7-8k, but it seem SWFC have a strick league wage cap. And i skipped brekkie I couldnt get thru the shell.

Thursday, June 23, 2011 at 10:06 AMok maybe the 'fool' comment was abit harsh but what you were saying is you would rather have your strikers than ours because they have scored more goal so in (your) theory you would rather have them than drogba etc because they have scored more? and you didnt say anything about them being in the league below on your comments! so dnt try get that one in now

Thursday, June 23, 2011 at 09:22 AM#33 Agree - something that some at the Lane need to understand (irrespective of how why we came to be in the mire) - "cut your cloth" & all that." But, and in all seriousness, (for once) 20 goal a season forwards are rare in any league - wasntisnt sMellor worth a punt - "speculate to accumulate"etc re "foundations" ? you'll have none come the 'rainy season' plus Mellor could double up as a rubber dingy ? (normal service has been resumed) ps what have you had for breakfast, - Im told you can't beat an egg (even if you yourself now know how to suck one ?)

Thursday, June 23, 2011 at 07:11 AM@mackemblade, yes it is due to money, but not really lack of just an attempt to get good players for suitable league wages so we can have a steady cash flow. Build on a foundation so to say.

Thursday, June 23, 2011 at 07:10 AMDB,Ok for a start I apologise for the 'mantard' comment, but dont try put words in my mouth(saying mellor is better than rooney) and then call me a fool for it!! that doesnt work. I said 'granted we were in the league below' (meaning you cannot make a direct comparison), but the sheer lack of goals scored by the blades strikers last year was dire......

Wednesday, June 22, 2011 at 07:00 PMWOW you blunts sure do change your minds a lot. One minute he's the best striker the world has ever seen and now he's on his way so McSue can claw back a few more quid from the comedy club. All doom and gloom at the sty....... not that you deluded ones will see it. Happy days indeed. UTO FTB
