Has Ross been tapped up? Is he unhappy with playing 2nd fiddle to Michael Chopra despite being the sides top scorer last season? Was it the clubs desire to get his contract signed to make him more valuable in the short term?
Just a few weeks after penning a new 4 year deal Ross McCormack has thrown a huge spanner in the works by asking to be made available for transfer.
Cardiff chairman Peter Ridsdale told the club's official website: "Ross McCormack telephoned me today to indicate that if another club came in for him, he would wish to leave.
"This is three weeks after signing a new four-year contract! I told Ross that we had not had any bids for his services and unless he knew of interest that we were unaware of, then he would remain a Cardiff City player.
"I wish to make it clear that if this is a method for any other club to believe that Ross would be allowed to leave Cardiff City 'on the cheap', that this will not be the case.
"If Ross subsequently leaves Cardiff City, it will only be if we receive an offer from another club that matches our valuation of the player."
Carefull Ross. With no offers in you'll be out of favour and out of the team and then who'll want to sign you when you are not playing and scoring?
