THE most powerful financial big-hitters in Cardiff met today with the aim of buying Jason Koumas for the Bluebirds.

Cardiff City have agreed a fee of £2m for the talented Koumas, a talisman whose arrival would spark a new rush of season ticket sales. But City don't have the £500,000 down-payment needed to clinch a deal with West Brom, who own the Welsh international.

There could also be a problem meeting the wage demands of Koumas, in excess of £10,000 a week.
