CARDIFF CITY NEWS:


CARDIFF CITY AND QPR JOIN CELTIC IN TRANSFER BATTLE FOR 29-YEAR-OLD

Cardiff City and QPR are interested in signing Motherwell defender Declan Gallagher, according to the Glasgow Times.




The 29-year-old has been a key player for Motherwell this season, making 26 appearances across all competitions.

22 of those games have come in the Scottish Premiership, with the Well enduring a tough start to the season, sitting 11th in the league table.

Gallagher has been one of their more impressive performers, though, and despite being out of contract at the end of the season, he is close to triggering an extension.

Dundee United are keen to lure Gallagher across Scotland, and are reportedly keen to make the defender of their highest-earners. There is said to be “serious interest” from Cardiff and QPR, too.

Celtic have recently been linked with a move for Gallagher, as they look to provide cover in defence.

Both Championship sides will be looking to strengthen this month, having endured tough first halves of the season.

Cardiff currently sit 15th in the table, whilst QPR have dropped to 20th, only five points clear of the relegation zone.





The Verdict

This seems like a much-needed signing for QPR in particular.

The R’s have conceded 30 goals this season which is very poor, so they do need to shore up their defence this month if they wish to improve and steer away from the relegation zone.

Gallagher is 29 and is an experienced player who has made seven appearances for Scotland, so it would be an interesting and exciting move for him.

So just tell us what you hope happens....where's the harm in that?

Don't hold your breath. Two years on and we appear to have learned nothing from the Sala tragedy. Why can't we just sign players without all the preamble?

I do not know anything but the twist I would like to see is Simpson coming for a medical

He’s a decent no frills defender, worth a punt.
