Mick 'not arsed' about Cardiff selling to rivals Blackpool
Mick McCarthy gave a typically blunt response when asked what he thought of Cardiff allowing Curtis Nelson to join relegation rivals Blackpool.
McCarthy, formerly of this parish, of course, sought his old centre-back as he looked to bolster his Blackpool defence in a bid to keep them in the division.
Nelson had fallen down the pecking order at Cardiff and, with just months left on his contract, could not be blamed for seeking a new challenge.
McCarthy was clearly impressed by Nelson during his stint in the Welsh capital, though. He was the one who offered the defender a contract extension during his time here.
When asked what he thought of a relegation candidate allowing an experienced player to join one of their rivals, though, McCarthy said: “They’ll do what they want to do, I’m not arsed what they think. We just tried to get him and hoped they would let us have him, because we’re just a bit short.
“He’s a real solid defender, Curtis. He made the most blocks and tackles when I was at Cardiff, so he’s a real solid citizen. He’s a great lad, so he’ll be a really good addition to the squad. We’re really pleased to get him.”

Sell?? Sold??
Wasn’t he let go??
I’m pretty sure a statement was put out that he was let go by mutual consent
