It's quite ironic that Burnley should get their man when Dave Jones on the weekend used the Clarets in an interview with the Western mail.
"Go back 12 months and compare Cardiff City to a club like Burnley," he said. Given a choice between the two, any potential signing would have gone to Burnley and I couldn't have blamed him.
"But these days I have the tools to show a player around the training ground and I can actually show him the new stadium.
"I can say, 'There you go' and tell him there is lot more to come. Today, the player is more likely to choose Cardiff."
D'oh, as Homer Simpson would say.
