BREAKING NEWS ' NEIL WARNOCK TODAY '


New Striker Omar Bogle

Neil Warnock:

"We paid £700,000"

"We were pleased to get him in. We’ve looked at the squad, and for example if Ken is injured or out and with just Wardy, we’ve nothing different to change. For a long season we were looking to add another striker to supplement what we’ve got. I’ve seen the figures - it’s £700,000 we’ve paid which I’m pleased with that and is good investment at his age, with loads of hunger and something to prove and he’s not too impatient about not being a regular at the moment because he won’t be."




Can we expect more business from Cardiff?

Neil Warnock:

"Not really."

"There will be one or two leaving, probably a last minute job on loan.









NEIL WARNOCK:

No offers for Zohore

"We’ve not had an offer, I don’t know where it’s come from."

" I think Hull are probably trying to pacify their own fans by saying things like that. I’d like to see the offer they’ve made. Are they in cloud cuckoo land or what? Do they think Ken is going to Hull City when he’s playing as well as he is? If he’s going to go anywhere it would be to the Premier League."

" So I’m disappointed Hull have put that out and we haven’t had an offer - and we wouldn’t have even looked at it if it had come from Hull City."





Warnock on putting the Bennett rumours to bed

"I spoke to Joe yesterday and I’m pleased (he’s staying)."

"Joe’s staying. Once we knew the situation it puts it to bed, delighted to have Joe on board."



Approach rejected and hearing @JoeBennett27 may stay at @CardiffCityFC despite @FulhamFC talks.


Joe Bennett ‏
@JoeBennett27

I'm working hard to get back fit for the games coming up after this weekend. Good luck to the boys



Neil Warnock thanks Tan for support over Bennett and Bogle

"Did you hear his interview the other day?"

"He’s been very forthcoming, he realises we’ve only spent £3m which is probably classified as peanuts in this league. We’re happy with what we’ve spent and the players we’ve unearthed and this new one supplements it."



Some injury news on Camp and Paterson

Neil Warnock:

"They’re both training really hard. Paterson, I spoke to him yesterday, he’s enjoying watching us I mentioned to him he can’t wait to get his boots back on. Both players are doing well."

More from Warnock on Bennett and why players want to stay

"I don’t see many players not enjoying themselves."


"We know we’ll come up against teams where we won’t get the results we have been, but we’ve got to enjoy it when doing well and not get down when it changes. We have to keep a level head.
We’re happy with business done, we were really Vincent said right from start that Bennett didn’t have to go, Neil, if you don’t want. I asked does it affect the Bogle deal and he said no and that he was very keen on signing him, so it doesn’t get much better than that really."



No Bennett this weekend but he WILL be back



Warnock on putting the Bennett rumours to bed

"I spoke to Joe yesterday and I’m pleased (he’s staying). It’s been difficult for him as he’s had all sorts thrown at him over the last few days and there was nothing we could do because once they met his clause, it was down to him to say yes or no. But like Morrison, Joe’s been playing well, he can see what we’re doing, his wife is 8 months pregnant and happy here, there’s a lot of plusses to stay here at the moment, it’s an exciting place. He was offered a very good contract but it speaks well of the lad and the club at moment about where we are when you turn that down. I put no pressure on him, it was down to him, he had the option. But he’s staying for less money he could have had, on his original contract with two years to go."

NEIL WARNOCK: " Joe Bennett has a buyout clause in his contract and then it's up to them, if Fulham meet it then they're entitled to talk to him."

"It doesn't mean he's going anywhere but they're entitled to talk to him."

Why is there such a buzz around Wolves?


Ryan Leister, Wolves expert"


"This may sound over the top, but in the opening three league games I’ve never seen Wolves play football like this.
Nuno Santo has come in with a total football philosophy and Wolves have been almost unrecognisable from last season."

"Lots of praise has gone the way of Ruben Neves and don’t get me wrong, he deserves it, but the good start has come because Wolves have played so well as a team."

"Omar Bogle.... Omar Bogle.... oh why, oh my"


What will Omar Bogle bring?

Neil Warnock:

We paid £700,000

"We were pleased to get him in. We’ve looked at the squad, and for example if Ken is injured or out and with just Wardy, we’ve nothing different to change.

Junior Hoilett:

"Neil wants me to express myself and get at defenders. As well as a great manager, he’s a great boss to play for - he gives you belief. He’s easy to talk to. People like to play for managers who are so supportive."

"It’s early and there’ll be tough games to come, but we both have a perfect record and it will be a good game. We’re excited. Wolves have brought in some big names but we have a team spirit that will go a long way. You could see it at the end of the season the way we stuck together and grinded out results but it’s still building."

Hoilett speaks

"It’s been a great start. I think everyone can see the effort we’re putting in to get the results. We finished well last season, kept the same squad and added so it’s no surprise. We just have to maintain it ahead of a long season."

"Last year I didn’t have a pre-season, but after playing in the Gold Cup it was good to come back in ready to go. My last game was...I can’t remember but I played all the summer! It’s been great to keep fitness up and form."

"We were one missing if we had a couple of injuries after the deadline. I didn’t want to bring in a loan lad who we didn’t know what we could get out of. I think Omar is a raw product who needs nourishing and it’s a good place for him to be at this stage of his career. He jumped early from almost nothing to top and not really had feet on floor really, he’s still learning trade."

There could well be more interest in the Dane.

But Warnock’s position couldn’t be any clearer, that’s for sure.


NEIL WARNOCK:


"There’s interest in Ken all the time probably."

"It’s a topic at the moment about players wanting to leave, going to bigger things, but this is a unique situation where he knows he needs another season of guidance and anything is possible if he progresses like he is. Managers don’t worry when they hear a manager say a player is not for sale, but in this case it’s real and he isn’t for sale. It’s not crossing my mind."

On whether Bogle would be a Zohore replacement...


NEIL WARNOCK:

"Fans don’t think that, you lot (the press) do! Ken’s not going anywhere. You have to have three (strikers). Last year we didn’t have enough competition and you don’t want to use young lads in a season like this."

Neil Warnock:


"Not really."

"There will be one or two leaving, probably a last minute job on loan. It doesn’t look like there’s any permanent deals in the pipeline. We’ll go along with what we have elsewhere. I’m looking at the midfield area. We’d be unlucky to lose two or three and you can’t bring someone in who’s a good player if you’re not going to play them."

" They’ll be on the bench and it’s awkward for a manager because you can see a problem arising, but we can rely on good old Greg Halford to help us out!"

Who will leave?


NEIL WARNOCK:

We’ve had enquiries for most players not in squad or team, but we won’t be rushing into anything before towards the end of the transfer window.

On big spending Wolves


NEIL WARNOCK:


"If the club want to spend money like them - 55million, 60million? - it will be a good test."

"We’re not going in awe of them. I’m hoping we’re better prepared than last year. It will be a fabulous crowd and a great stadium to get the atmosphere. They’ve not had a lot to shout about of late but maybe this is their year."


"I don’t envy Wolves, we worry about ourselves, we’ve gone about it differently."

The main talking points

Here is a summary of what we learned from that Neil Warnock press conference:

Joe Bennett is staying at Cardiff City, despite getting a higher wage offer from Fulham
Kenneth Zohore is going nowhere either
New boy Omar Bogle isn’t a replacement for Zohore — just another option
Warnock says there won’t be any more arrivals but a couple could leave the Bluebirds
And he wants to shock Wolves at Molineux on Saturday afternoon
