Chopra plays down threat to leave Cardiff

Cardiff striker Michael Chopra has performed a U-turn on his earlier claim that he would exit the club if no more new players were bought before the new season. Bluebirds boss Dave Jones has made just two signings in the summer, Manchester United duo Tom Heaton and Daniel Drinkwater.

Chopra told Sky Sports News: "It's just disappointing. I got told at the time there'd be players coming in and things like that.

"When things don't happen you get disappointed. As a professional footballer and a person that's got high standards, I'm disappointed at what's happened at the minute.

"But I'm still a Cardiff City player and I'll continue to play well for them."

When asked if he would still be a Bluebirds player at the start of the season, Chopra added: "You'll have to ask the manager that, and the chairman.

"I probably will be, yeah."
