Final Chopra Bid? - Ipswich Town News
Town boss Roy Keane is set to make one final move for Cardiff frontman Michael Chopra, according to one of this morning’s tabloids. Keane is said to be ready to pay the Bluebirds £4 million for the player he has been chasing all summer.
Keane said on Friday that Cardiff, having added Craig Bellamy to their squad, may be willing to sell his former Sunderland striker but that as yet Town won’t pay the asking price: "If someone gives them their valuation, then Chopra might go, but Ipswich wouldn’t meet that valuation at the moment.”
Chopra started for Cardiff in their 4-0 home victory over Doncaster on Saturday but limped off with an injury after 32 minutes.
The Blues boss says that with Jon Stead likely to move to Bristol City this week he wants to sign two attacking players, one of whom is likely to be Wigan’s Jason Scotland, a midfielder and a defender.
