Gabbidon unsure on future

Danny Gabbidon admits he has no idea whether he will still be a Cardiff City player at the beginning of next season.
With the Bluebirds striving to clear debts of £30m, the Wales centre back knows he could soon be sold if the club receives an offer too good to refuse.

"Obviously the club's not in the best of shapes at the moment," said Gabbidon, who is contracted until 2008.

"I'm sure a few things will happen in the summer to sort that out, but who knows where I'll be?"

After promising to build a squad capable of challenging for promotion to the Premiership, owner Sam Hammam has been forced to sell his best players to raise much needed funds.

Top scorer Robert Earnshaw was the first to leave last August when West Brom paid £3m for the Wales striker.

It's probably out of my hands so we'll wait and see

The Cardiff fans then watched with horror as captain Graham Kavanagh was sold to rivals Wigan for £400,000 in March.

Kavanagh's departure came shortly after the depth of the club's financial plight was revealed in official accounts.

That week, the club had also failed to pay its monthly wage bill of around £750,000.

Gabbidon's defensive partner Tony Vidmar, who is joining Dutch side NAC Breda, has said Gabbidon needs to leave Cardiff to further his career.

But 25-year-old Gabbidon says he has no desire to find a new club.

"Vids and I are good friends and that's his opinion," Gabbidon, who joined Cardiff from West Brom in 2000, told BBC Wales Sport.

"I've been very happy with my time at Cardiff. I've had some great memories and I can't thank the club enough.

"The [financial] situation's not good at the moment but hopefully that can improve.

"We'll have to see what happens. It's probably out of my hands so we'll wait and see."

If you thought this season was tough, next season is going to be heartbreaking. Gabbidon will be a huge loss for City if or when they sell him.

Sacrifices like this are essential for the future of Cardiff City. I will however feel more comfortable about the whole situation when the first bricks have been laid for the new stadium.

well it looks like we will lose at least 5 players :-

Gabbidon
Collins
Boland
Macdonald
Jerome

If we lose this lot then we will need a hole new bunch of players who have talent but also are willing to play on low salary. If this stadium goes ahead then the position will be a lot safer. The problems are jsut going to grow as long as the stadium is delayed.

Ok, well I was reading the South Wales Echo today and :-

Lennie Lawrence will be staying.

Garry Croft, Willie Boland, Andy Campbell and Alan Lee will all be sold. This is a lot better than Collins, Gabbidon,Throne and Jerome leaving.

(I do know i double posted but this is a comnplete new thing)

Beware the dangerous double posts please!

gabbidon will probaly go to the premiership he has proved himself at international stage against teams like Italy and hungary and earned praise from managers so he will go and cameron jerome wat a player he is one for the future, welshboy did he come from middlesborough

Yeh Cameron Jerome come from Boro. Cardiff have today received a £400,000 bid from Sunderland for Jerome.

Cardiff have also declared Gabbidon, Collins, Ledley, Mcanuff and Throne are also likely to leave.
