The statement goes onto say that the actions of these players will allow the club to sign a key new player in the near future.
That new player is certain to be Darren Purse with Sam Hammam telling the BBC
"If I can put it bluntly, with that reduction (by the 5 players above) we can not only buy Purse but pay the wages for him."
Purse's agent said last night that Darren had chosen Cardiff and it would be a huge credit to Dave Jones and Sam for persueding Darren to move to Ninain Park instead of Southampton.
City's bid for Purse has been accepted by WBA and it's a matter of final details and an official announcement.
