BREAKING NEIL WARNOCK: " UPDATES CARDIFF CITY FANS "

' NEIL WARNOCK UPDATES CARDIFF CITY FANS '

Friday 28th December 2018








NEIL WARNOCK:


Do Cardiff need to sell to buy?

"I don’t think we’ve got that many that we want to get rid of. Obviously you’ve got to try and balance the books a bit and some players need to go in January. But you don’t want players in the 25 not doing anything."




Do you want to sign Camarasa permanently?

“Yes, I’ll pay whatever it takes! Let’s ask that question at the end of the season"

"I think he’s matured beyond all recognition really. I like to think it’s that I’ve given him the freedom to do what he’s good at. He’s got so much going for him in terms of what he can do. He’s getting better as the season’s gone on. I think both Harry (Arter) and him are here on season-long loans. That’s the plus."

"We couldn’t get a Victor or Harry at this stage. Betis can only thank me because I’ve put him in the shop window. They must have one hell of a team. I’ve said to them if they have any other reserves like this!”






Will Cardiff be signing unknowns?

"There’s two or three on the list that I think could play in the Premier Legaue and I think could cost less than we’ve been paying before. You’ve got more chance abroad."




Can you give us a January transfer update?

"We're looking at bringing players in, but it's not as simple as that. What we're not going to do is have a gun to our head and spend stupid money."

"But it's always going to be difficult. Even if you sign players in January, you don't know if they're going to be able to play in the Premier League."


Warnock on Sala and money

"It’s not just money. Mehmet’s been brilliant, and Ken. They realise how hard it is in this window. Good teams don’t necessarily do their business in January. Everything in the summer went so quickly. We thought we had one and then didn’t. Whether we had money or not. It’s always a gamble. Even with Sala. Unless they’ve played in the Premiership, it’s always a gamble. You find with strikers though you do have pay over the top."

NEIL WARNOCK:



Kenneth Zohore's injury

"He’s feeling like I am. Gutted."

"I read in one report that him and Paterson were squaring up to each other. News to me, that. Paterson squares up to everyone! He’s done so well and worked so hard to get back the sharpness and when he came on I thought he looked sharp and then he pulls a thigh muscle. You could cry at times."

"I still think we need a striker and a Kenneth Zohore firing on all cylinders. We need both, so I don’t think that changes anything. But it’s such a shame because he is such an explosive player."

The latest on injuries?

Zohore nicked his thigh and Paterson just did something to the side of this knee, so we're running out of options really. We put Gary on the bench. He's just started training again.

Victor couldn't move his legs late on and the same with Junior. But there's another big game with Leicester. They've just beaten Man City today. So I'm looking forward to that one.

What's the mood heading to Leicester?

"I think the lads were buoyant from Palace. I don’t think we could’ve won the game here against Leicester under the circumstances. It was probably the worst game I’ve ever felt as a manager. We don’t want any more results like the Man United result. Goal difference could be really important."

Cardiff have had a boost in the form of Neil Etheridge's omission from the Philippines squad for the upcoming Asia Cup.



NEIL WARNOCK:


Neil Etheridge to stay with Cardiff and NOT play in Asian Cup

"After the Man United game, I told him to go!"

"He’s had a great season and he’s learning all the time. As cruel as it was, I did shout at him after his mistake. He knows it was on him. You’ve got learn by your mistakes really and you’ve got to learn to trust people."

"He’s improved as he’s gone. I spoke to Sven. I would’ve been happy with it whatever, but he was really forthcoming. He said ‘Neil knows how important it is for you and the club and I respect that’.


"Neil wanted to stay and help us. He didn’t want to lose his place really. Smithies is gutted! He bought him his ticket, I think, and Murphy. We have three good keepers. We’re doing well in that department."

Tan being very supportive?

"Mehmet and Ken are doing all the checks which you’ve got to do. But they’re determined to get me two or three players. I’m talking to Vincent all the time. Every owner would want you to spend nothing and still bring in five players. But he’s been very supportive."

"We’ve had inquiries for our players as well. Everyone’s looking for a bargain. We’ve got numerous players that aren’t playing and hopefully they can find clubs because when you’re a player you want to play.”-

Are you confident of staying up?

"I think we’ve improved since the start of the season. We will get days like that against Manchester United. But I thought Boxing Day was as good as we’ve defended this season. We look solid and did well on the break. We just had to create a little more."

NEIL WARNOCK:




Have you got enough to stay up?

"When you've got fans like that and a club supporting you, you've always got a chance."

"Our dressing room is our strength, but I think we play a lot more than we get credit for. I think the lads get tainted because they're my team, whereas I think we play as well as a lot of teams in the league and we've got a bit of steel about us."






Can you give us a January transfer update?

Is Vincent Tan being cautious?

"You always look back at the past. Some say he wasn’t a good signing or he wasnot a good signing. I think as manager we made signings to get promotion. I thought they all contributed to us getting into the Premier League. I look at the signings and some criticise you for buying Championship players. Why throw money away, why not invest in players that are going to appreciate in value and I think they have."

How do you assess the festive period?

"I think they’re all difficult games . You look at United, Palace, Leicester, Tottenham and everything you get is a bonus really. Man United was disappointing."

"To work on the strategy all week and then concede an early goal was disappointing. It gave them a lift and killed us really. So that was disappointing because I thought we could’ve done better."

Praise for Manga

"You won’t see a better tackle than that. If you give Zaha a five-yard head start and still catch him, you haven’t done too badly. I always thought he could be comfortbaly in the PL. He’s probably criticised for when he plays FB but I don’t think he’s been wanting in many games this season. I’ve been delighted with his contribution. I would like to play him at centre back but needs must."
