Sol Bamba Signs new three-year deal with Cardiff City as Neil Warnock confirms Ibrahim Meite has joined Crawley on loan


Neil Warnock said today that there has been interest in his players

"We’ve had interest in all of them. (Pilkington, John and Noone)

I would like to think most of them found clubs if I’m honest. You don’t want players not making the squad, once the window closes they could be back in the fold. You haven’t got time to hold grudges, I’ve had it in the past where players haven’t gone for money, for me you go to play. Everybody has different opinions."

NEIL WARNOCK:


"You never know in the transfer window. I’m very fortunate that I’ll be away Wednesday and Thursday with no phone on. If anything gets done I hope it’ll be early. I hope not."

"We’re looking to see if we can drag one in before the deadline, we’ve got one or two ideas. We’ve got one or two who might be going out. Somebody that’ll fit in with the way we play. Someone who can anchor, pass the ball, for two grand a week."

Neil Warnock on injuries before QPR

Any injuries?

"Not really, we had one or two little knocks but nothing untoward.”

Neil Warnock on his time at QPR

"It was a fabulous year I’ll never forget, one of the best in my life. Similar circumstances, they were struggling and then we had a great season, I still get plenty of messages from the QPR fans. It takes some beating.

We were high up most of the season, had a good group and we had a nice blend.

I think it’s the best team spirit since QPR, I don’t think you can compare the team but we have the same type of characters with good pros. And we didn’t spend much money.”

Neil Warnock on Cup distraction

"I think the cup was a distraction if I’m honest. The FA Cup is a different ball game. I don’t think that’ll be drawn at 4am. I look forward to the FA cup.

We’ve just got to concentrate at the moment. September and October, they don’t come any more difficult. If we can get to the end of October in that top four I’ll be really pleased. The next eight weeks are really difficult.

We can go anywhere and give people a good game and we’re looking forward to the challenges."

Neil Warnock on Hoilett's form

"I’ve not seen Junior play as well since those days (at QPR). This season he’s come back from the international break and has another spring in his step.

With Nathaniel Mendez-Laing coming on board it’s made for a good trio. It’s nice they can change about. He looks a bit more of a threat, he’s always made changes but we think he can finish a few as well.

I think Junior has always been there or there abouts. He started like a house on fire at Blackburn then he just levelled out a bit. Sometimes you’re just in the right place at the right time."

Neil Warnock on Zohore interest

"I would imagine most of those will be looking at Ken anyhow. I’m sure agents have a lot of influence at times. I hope in Ken’s situation he listens to me as well. I think I’ve changed his whole career around and sometimes you get the wrong advice and you just hope it’s not adhered to.

If he has another good season here I think the sky’s the limit. You can go a bit too early, especially with the money flying around in the Premier League at the minute. We might get £15m offered for Nathaniel Mendez-Laing at this rate!

I think if we got £30m offered we’d have to sell him. What price do you put on someone like that? I think Kenneth’s better than a lot of the ones that have moved on but we’re not thinking about it really. What is money nowadays. It’s a commodity Premier League clubs have all got."

Neil Warnock on the depth in his squad

"I feel sorry for Ward, he’s on fire in training and looks so sharp, then we put him on the left wing, but he’s such a credit to us. You need squad players like him. Kadeem’s got to come back at some stage. It’s promising.

We’re looking to see how we can improve all the time. You just don’t know what’s going to happen in the next week. If nothing happened between now and Thursday I’d be happy."

Although NW made mistakes which cost us the Carabao match, things are really looking great.
When you think that Kadeem, Paterson and Camp have all got to come into the squad it's very exciting.
Hope we sign a midfielder.....My money's on Ben Watson.

But it depends on how much we are paying him

In Warnock I trust

But even as he gets on he's gonna be on the bench etc I just dunno. Having said that if he took a coaching roll at 36 with a bit part role that would be very good business

He turned 32 in January.

He's very good to have around the dressing room and a massive character within the squad happy he's here for longer

Interesting that he quoted he can't force people to go out on loan.

Sounds like we have had offers but some of the players have turned the move down?
