These are your Cardiff City headlines on Sunday, February 5.
Rovers to come back for Harris
The Sun report Blackburn Rovers will return for Cardiff striker Mark Harris in the summer after seeing a deadline-day swoop for the Wales man thwarted.
Wigan and Stoke City were said to be interested too before the window shut, with a swap deal with the Latics' Joe Bennett touted but the prospect of that was played down to WalesOnline.
The report states Cardiff quoted Rovers £700,000, which put would-be suitors off. Harris will be a free agent this summer when his contract expires, with Rovers' scout Gus Williams' connection with Harris from the Wales camp a factor in their interest.

Wigan and Stoke could also revisit a move in the summer, the report concludes.
Boss pleased with Kaba
A glimpse of optimism for Bluebirds fans was seeing new signing Sory Kaba come off the bench on Humberside on Saturday.
Sabri Lamouchi confirmed on Thursday that the striker would travel with his new team-mates to Hull but the expectation was, because he hadn't even arrived in Wales until later that day, that he wouldn't be involved against the Tigers.
But the 27-year-old was named among the substitutes and was introduced in the 55th minute. Lamouchi believes he offers something different and that more is to come from the big hitman.
"It's good to have a different opportunity," he said. "Tall strong, and it was the first 35, 40 minutes with a new team, new club, new partner. He created one chance and he will be better next week."
Allsop's distribution praised
Hull City boss Liam Rosenior picked out Cardiff keeper Ryan Allsop for praise on Saturday, believing he's the Championship's best with his long-range distribution.
The Bluebirds went down 1-0 to the Tigers to keep the threat of relegation hanging over their heads. Rosenior says it was Allsop's kicking that kept them under pressure all afternoon.
"We've shown in the last two games that we can play games in different ways," he told our sister title Hull Live.
"In the Championship, you need that. There is no team in the Championship that is going to outplay every team every single week.

"I knew Cardiff would be a real threat physically; they were unfortunate at Luton and they've got some big boys in their team.
"In the second half, they kept putting balls into our box - I worked with Ryan Allsop (goalkeeper) before and he's probably the best goalkeeper in the league in terms of his distance, he was hitting our box from his own box and that's something you have to stand up to physically, it's something you have to fight against and I thought our players did that, and I'm so proud of them.
"It shows the mentality in the group. It's not an easy game to play sometimes, and the players threw themselves in the way of shots, blocked crosses, headed things away and you need that in the Championship."
