There's speculation to day that Jon Parkin is in Coventry for a medical ahead of a potential swap move involving Sky Blues defender Ben Turner. Malky Mackay, is thought to have offered £750,000 plus Jon Parkin in an attempt to get Turner to sign for Cardiff. There's speculation that Turner may well have been for a medical with City but it's unconfirmed at the moment. Mackay in response to questions about Turner said "We'll see how that goes in the next few days. We're ongoing with things." Birmingham City are also chasing Turner and a move to a fellow West Midlands club might suit him more. Turner has supported Birmingham since he was a kid. Mackay admits he needs more players in his squad and continued "We're having a go at it. It is a process everyone is involved in and you're up against other clubs - our recruitment process will keep going and continue into the loan window. "We are still way under strength." Parkin, a new member to Twitter, has had loads to say over the last couple of weeks but since saying I am a cardiff city player until I am told otherwise people. Love it down here and don't want to leave. on Monday evening, he's gone quiet.
