HULL CITY: Tigers-target McCormack to hold talks with Leeds
HULL City transfer target Ross McCormack is travelling to Leeds to hold contract talks.
Leeds have agreed an undisclosed fee with Cardiff for the striker, who is keen to leave the Welsh outfit in search of first-team football.

Ross McCormack
City were keen to land the 24-year-old, who has been told he can leave the Welsh club following the arrival of Craig Bellamy last week, but they need to off-load players before they can sign anyone.
This has allowed Whites boss Simon Grayson to nip in ahead of a number of other clubs to make a move for him.
Ipswich have been heavily linked with the former Rangers man, who earns £7,000-a-week, but he will now travel to Yorkshire for a medical and to discuss personal terms.
McCormack scored 24 goals for Cardiff in his first season with the club but only managed five goals last season.
He is now behind Bellamy, Jay Bothroyd and Michael Chopra in Cardiff boss Dave Jones' thinking.

“HDM source is Willie McKay then eh ?
Just proves how easy they are led. As to Phil Buckinghams Fantasy Team ? He has just had the Vote of No Confidence. Watch this space. wink wink wink
Bet Leeds are miffed they lost out to Hull on Jay Simpson.
McCormack or Fryatt ? The later IMO.”

“The HDM are the only people who think he's a target of ours, probably because they've been fed a line by his agent Willy McKay.”

“Why does the headline mention that McCormick is a Hull City target? The club have official stated several times that he isn't. Or is Phil Buckingham getting confused with Fantasy Football?”

“other than being mentioned as part of potential cousin deal, has he ever been declared as a genuine target? it was all talk from his agent that was being quoted as i recall.
hope the comments/quotes about fryatt from leicester are correct, fryatt and simpson with cullen off the bench are definately strikers who with the right service can score. 10 chances each: folan, fagan and garcia VS simpson, fryatt and cullen.....no contest!”

“I was wondering what was going on with McCormack; didn't realise NP and Humberside had said that though, as I'm not in the area any more. Maybe he was a flash in the pan a couple of years ago, we'll see.
I do feel happier to have OJ Simpson from Arsenal though, that's for sure..”

“Both NP and Radio Humberside said last week that City were not interested in him. Will just wait and see who comes in and out when it happens.”
