Town are among a number of clubs claimed to be keen on out-of-favour Cardiff winger Anthony Pilkington.

According to HITC Sport, the Blues, Barnsley and Bolton Wanderers are all eyeing the 29-year-old Irish international, who it’s said Bluebirds manager Neil Warnock is looking to offload.

The former Norwich, Huddersfield and Stockport man, who is contracted until the summer of 2019, has made only two starts this season, one in the Championship and one in the Carabao Cup, in which he has also come off the bench once.

Although the Blues are looking for recruits in midfield during January, it’s central players to come in for those currently out injured who are required rather than wide players.

Jimmy86 added 21:17 - Jan 6 Swap deal for Didz I Reckon. Not a bad player to be fair, can play wide or up front.

jas0999 added 21:23 - Jan 6 Does anyone actually care? The owner is off loading players. Then wanting loans frees and other clubs rejects. Shameful.

truckerblue added 21:29 - Jan 6 Why would anyone want to come to us anyway? Mid table mediocrity probably crap money 'in footballers terms' a dinosaur in charge probably for the next 2 years as HE seems to pull our chairman's strings. Yes we're all pi**ed of with the rumours of players leaving but be honest who can blame them. We all say when someone deemed not good enough that Mick the pr*ck see's them in training so he knows best. Works both ways the players also see in training what he's like so maybe they think he's not good enough so they want out.

blue75 added 21:52 - Jan 6 Did we not just send Rowe out on loan isn't he a winger? All these unhappy players moving out has McCarthy started to lose the dressing apart from his proper blokes?

OwainG1992 added 22:59 - Jan 6 But he's a winger? Mick won't pick him. So we gonna sell didz Smith Bart Moore and bring 4 lads in on loan? Wouldn't surprise me

shakytown added 23:23 - Jan 6 Why oh why would we want a winger when our midfield (with or without injuries) is well below par and our defence is like a sieve. That is the real problem we are not addressing the weaknesses in the squad and are relying on cast offs instead of building a TEAM. This will not change as long as Mick remains our manager.
