Bluebirds swoop for Kasper

Cardiff City have confirmed the signing of Manchester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel on a one-month loan deal.
The Denmark Under-21 shot-stopper will join up with ex-City team-mates Robbie Fowler and Trevor Sinclair at Ninian Park as Dave Jones looks to shore up his defence.
City boss Sven-Goran Eriksson has said that the move does not spell the end of Schmeichel's time at Eastlands, merely that the 20-year-old "needs to play".
The ex-England manager said at a pre-match press conference: "At this moment Joe Hart is playing and maybe Isaksson will play on Wednesday.
"It will be very good for him to go on loan for one month and then after that we will see what is happening."
Schmeichel, who is the son of legendary former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter, has already had short loan periods at Darlington, Falkirk and Bury.
