Russell Slade: Cardiff City boss cool on Kevin Nolan speculation

Manager Russell Slade has kept tight lipped on speculation linking Cardiff City with a move for free agent Kevin Nolan before the close of the transfer window.

The 33-year-old midfielder has left West Ham United by mutual consent after four years at the Premier League club.

Slade says any potential signings have to "fit in" with their philosophy.
