:bluebird: :bluebird: “ MICK McCARTHY WILL UPDATE CARDIFF CITY FANS “ :bluebird: :bluebird:



Thursday 6th May 2021


How different will your team look at the start of August to tomorrow?


It’ll be different. How different I don’t know. Lots can happen. Someone might want to come in and buy someone, loan players leaving. There will be a good nucleus still the same.

McCarthy





MICK McCARTHY:



Anyone back you didn’t have?


Terrible news: Arsenal youngster on loan Jordi Osei-Tutu, has suffered ankle ligament damage :cry: :cry:
Osei-Tutu has returned to Arsenal now and won’t be returning.




Sean Morrison is still out. Max Watters is out. Kieffer has had a bit of one, landing on his Achilles but he will be OK.

That’s it.

Junior has got a tight hamstring, felt it this morning and he won’t be involved at all.

McCarthy








Kieffer Moore playing against his former club, can be brutal?


Absolutely. I’ve never had an affinity to any club I’ve gone back to when we are playing. When we are playing as the opposition, I don’t give anything.

McCarthy




:bluescarf: :bluescarf: “ READ BELOW ALL MICK McCARTHY’S UPDATES “ :bluescarf: :bluescarf:





Last game, a lot riding on it…?



Absolutely! Championship status, wow. That’s a huge thing.

They’ve managed to get themselves into that situation. They were playing so many games and they’ve given themselves a chance, fighting tooth and nail.

McCarthy






You know what to expect?

Absolutely, yeah, Paul Warne’s teams give everything, just like us. We are going out to win it and Warney’s teams have been great.

I really like Paul, but unfortunately I’ll be going tooth and nail to win the game.

MICK McCARTHY:


Played Rotherham in February, fourth game, six points away from relegation, they were a point away, shows what’s happened since…?






Yeah, we had a great run.

We went there in a snowy, wild evening, and had a great run. Unfortunately they had the Covid and cancelling games.

Trying to catch up at the last knockings has just caught up on them.

Having to play four, five, six games in two weeks has hindered them.

Other relegation battle is a big game too
If they come here and win and the other two draw then they stay up!

You saw Wycombe put up a real fight and this is Wycombe plus plus. This is the last game, no more after this.

I’ll tell you about them on Saturday. I just want to get the game out of the way.

There’s no issue with Jonny, he’ll be with us.

MICK McCARTHY:


21 games now, you’d love to be pushing for play-offs, league table doesn’t lie, that how you look at it?





Absolutely. You’re only in the play-offs if you get enough points.

It’s a pretty decent record. The points we gave away let slip against Reading, Brentford, Blackburn.

If we can finish seventh, brilliant. If we end up in eighth, from where we were at Bristol, from that it has been a great effort from the lads to get us in the place we are in.

MICK McCARTHY:


They’ll deserve the break…?



We have had 38 points from 21 points. If we had got 42 points that’s promotion stuff.

They have had two weeks off in two years. They do deserve the break, it is well earned.

They have put a real shift in since January.

They are a great bunch of lads and looking forward to the break no doubt.

Kieffer Moore off to the Euros, Jonny W, a word with them before they go. Good luck etc?




Definitely! That goes without saying of course.

It’s great that they are going. It really is.

Not a chance they are tired. They should be buzzing. They are all looking forward to it, all the lads.

Where do you see the potential of the club, are you excited?



"Absolutely I am, of course. If we end up finishing seventh and I say that’s a good finish from where we were. It certainly is in terms of if we get three points on Saturday.

That’s the benchmark in terms of points. If we were looking at 46 in 23 games, we have set a benchmark - can we do that? That’s hard, that.

Things will be changing here, that’s for sure. Players will be going, players will be coming in. But we have always got to aim as high as we can.


"We might have no money, but we can certainly bring a few older heads in to get us going next season.


We aim for the moon and end up in the stars."

It gets Cardiff mentioned on the big stage?




Is it going to make it any better for us to get a mention? I don’t know.

All it does is accentuate the fact someone might come in for Kieffer Moore if he gets too many mentions!

I want them to be a success, because I’ll deal with whatever it is, if he is a success and he ends up being worth £20m then so be it, great!

I just want what’s good for the players, I really do.

What’s good for the players is good for the club.

The McCarthy method is there for us all to see, everyone knows what you’re about now?





Everyone’s method is their method, whether it’s madness, brilliance, stupidity or creativity. You just have to win games and get points.

Quite clearly we have done that.

We have loved it, me and TC, the only sad thing for me is that we haven’t had fans in.

I just hope we don’t lose the first game with fans in!

How have you got on behind the scenes with hierarchy?



Excellent. Absolutely no problem. I’ve had no interference. I speak with Vincent occasionally. Generally it’s just encouragement.

The staff have been brilliant. I’ve been delighted with everyone. I’ve been very impressed.

Hopefully we can continue the success we have had this season and bring it back next season.


I've not met Vincent Tan yet, had a few phone calls from.

MICK McCARTHY:


Norwich, Watford and another going up, three big teams coming down, not going to get easier?




I don’t think it does get easier.

That’s always going to be the case with the teams going up and down. They will always have the parachute payments and the advantage.

Norwich were a really good squad of players. I wasn’t involved in any Norwich games, but Brentford, if they go up ,what affect that will have on them.

It just makes it tough on everyone else with the teams going up and down.

On the back of coming down, even in the pandemic, that’s £90m. A big chunk of money, that.

It’ll be a different summer with no parachute payments.

I’m cool with whatever I’ve got, no money, so long as I know. That’s not been decided yet.

No parachute payments make a great difference.

Mick McCarthy names replacement for Liverpool-bound Cardiff City star and hints could already be done

Harry Wilson will return to Liverpool this summer and there will be a sizeable void left in the Cardiff City team, however the Bluebirds boss knows who the ideal replacement will be


Tuesday 4th May 2021

By Glen Williams


Cardiff City manager Mick McCarthy does not believe he has to go out seeking a replacement for Liverpool-bound Harry Wilson, instead insisting he has the "perfect" replacement already within his ranks.

In what is likely to be Harry Wilson's penultimate Bluebirds game, he struck a sensational hat-trick in the 4-0 drubbing of Birmingham City last weekend.

McCarthy dubbed it one of the best you will ever see and went on to say that there is no reason Wilson could not go back to his parent club and really challenge for a starting spot at Anfield next season.

Whether or not that comes to fruition remains to be seen, but it is almost certain that Wilson's future does not lie in the Welsh capital next year. The 24-year-old himself made no bones about the fact he wants his future resolved this summer.

It means the Bluebirds will have the task of filling that sizeable void next season, with Wilson having contributed seven goals and 12 assists across a very steady campaign.

The Wales international has been nailed-on first choice in that position this season and rightly so, with others having to wait patiently in the wings for their opportunity.

But next season it appears some already in the ranks will get a clean run at it, with McCarthy not particularly interested in splashing what would inevitably be quite a bit of money given it is considered a premium position.

Instead, he thinks there is one player already with the Bluebirds who has all the weapons in his armoury to fill Wilson's shoes next term.


McCarthy has virtually no money available for next season and has been told he will have to sell before can buy any new players.


"Jonny Williams is a perfect replacement for that," McCarthy said.

"Rubin Colwill is as well, actually, that's where he played in the under-23s and he's more than capable of that.

"Is he Harry Wilson? No, he's not, because he's not been to Hull and Derby and Bournemouth and Cardiff in the Championship.

"But Jonny, certainly, has got the ability to do that. So I'm not actively going out seeking for one of those."

The fact McCarthy feels he does not have to look elsewhere almost confirms that Williams will be at the club next term.



Jonny Williams has made one start since he joined the Bluebirds in January and few as substitute in the final minutes due to injuries.

Williams track record is not good averaging in the last 10 years , 13 appearances a season for the clubs he has played for and many of them were as a sub.

But Williams is free and low wages and McCarthy believes in him.

The Wales international has found game time hard to come by, having been stuck behind Wilson in the pecking order for the most part, and has struggled to really make an impression in the little time he has been afforded.

Williams was signed back in January on a short-term contract only until the end of this season. However, there was an option to extend for a further year and although there has been no confirmation to suggest that has happened, McCarthy has all but confirmed that deal has been done.




As to Lee Tomlin:

It is also notable that McCarthy has not mentioned Lee Tomlin in the above, instead name dropping the impressive Rubin Colwill, who will no doubt go from strength to strength after turning out impressive back-to-back performances in his first two starts in a Cardiff City shirt.

Quite where that leaves Tomlin is anyone's guess, at the minute, but we appear to have a much clearer idea of where Williams will be playing his football next term.




Lee Tomlin has recently deleted his Twitter account. :shock:

Cardiff City's leaked 2021/22 kit and the adidas deal explained

The Picture below is virtually the New Home Shirt :bluebird: :bluescarf:

The rumoured strip for next season has been doing the rounds on social media this week



Cardiff City fans were no different, of course, when Footy Headlines released what they claim to be the Bluebirds' home shirt for the 2021/22 campaign over the weekend.

Of course, that supposed leaked strip is clearly a prototype, with the sponsor not yet emblazoned across the front of it.


Next season's rumoured strip, is thought to be pretty close to what the finished article will look like, appears to have reverted back to a darker tone, more aligned with previous seasons.

The 2020/21 home shirt was a brighter shade of blue, however, on evidence of the leaked image, it looks to have returned closer to a navy colour.

The collar is grandad-style while the trademark three adidas stripes, along with the piping around the neck and sleeve cuffs, is a darker shade of navy, as opposed to the traditional white.

If the shirt is what Footy Headlines have suggested, it would be a similar look to the Portland Timbers' 2021 jersey, pictured below, as well as the rumoured Hamburger SV top.


Next season represents the final year of Cardiff City's current deal with adidas, who have been the club's kit manufacturer since 2015, the campaign which saw the home colours return from red to blue.

It is understood the club have already started speaking with adidas as well as five other companies over a deal to become the kit manufacturers for the 2022/23 season onwards.

The unveiling of next season's official Cardiff City kit is set to take place in July.

How different will your team look at the start of August to tomorrow?


It’ll be different. How different I don’t know. Lots can happen. Someone might want to come in and buy someone, loan players leaving. There will be a good nucleus still the same.

Players out of contract, there is a big batch next summer?




MICK McCARTHY:

I’m not going to worry about the following season just yet. I’ll concern myself with this one.

It’ll just be different.

Having been in the Premier League and having parachute payments, it enables the club to be on a different playing field to some of the others.

It’ll be a level playing field now.

Excited Cardiff City boss Mick McCarthy admits it will be all change this summer as he makes £20m Kieffer Moore quip


"If Kieffer is a success and he ends up being worth £20m then so be it, thats what i would expect to get for a player like Kieffer."



Thursday 6th May 2021



Mick McCarthy admits that it will be a summer of change at Cardiff City, but the strides the club have made this season has invoked a feeling of excitement over what can be achieved next year.

The Bluebirds boss often cites his fourth game in charge, against Bristol City at Ashton Gate, where Cardiff could have slipped to 17th if they were on the wrong end of a hiding.

But they came away from that Severnside derby with a 1-0 win and shot up the ladder, almost sneaking into those play-off spots before a post-international break slump consigned them to another season of Championship football next term.

That, though, according to McCarthy, is an exciting prospect. However he will have the summer transfer window to contend with first, of course, and anticipates a busy window.

"Absolutely I am," he said when asked if we was excited about next term. "Of course. If we end up finishing seventh and I say that’s a good finish from where we were.

"That’s the benchmark in terms of points. If we were looking at 46 in 23 games, we have set a benchmark - can we do that? That’s hard, that.

"Things will be changing here, that’s for sure. Players will be going, players will be coming in. But we have always got to aim as high as we can.

"We aim for the moon and end up in the stars."

Speaking of stars, Kieffer Moore has undoubtedly been the shiniest one in this Cardiff side all season.

The striker, signed for just £2m from Wigan Athletic last summer, has banged home 20 league goals in this campaign, the first Bluebirds player to do that since Peter Whittingham in the 2009/10 season.

The Wales international has the prospect of the Euros to look forward to after Saturday's final fixture with Rotherham and will undoubtedly play a huge part for Rob Page's side.

And while McCarthy is hopeful Moore can have a fantastic campaign, he believes that will only draw the eyes of more suitors in the transfer window.

If it shoots his value up tenfold in the process, though, McCarthy won't mind too much.





MICK McCARTHY:


"All it does is accentuate the fact someone might come in for Kieffer Moore if he gets too many mentions!" the City boss joked.

"I want them to be a success, because I’ll deal with whatever it is, if he is a success and he ends up being worth £20m then so be it, thats what i would expect to get for a player like Kieffer."

"I just want what’s good for the players, I really do.

"What’s good for the players is good for the club."

And City will need all the funds they can get, because Premier League parachute payments will stop and they will have to generate the cash themselves.

Moore is clearly a player who could leave, so too is Robert Glatzel, the striker on loan at Mainz who McCarthy has already said is up for sale.

While midfielder Will Vaulks is also the subject of transfer interest from Newcastle, Norwich City and Sheffield United among others.

Whichever way you look at it, Cardiff will have to find money elsewhere this summer if McCarthy is to assemble a squad which can challenge for promotion next season. But, the manager says, perhaps that now puts them on a level playing field.




"Having been in the Premier League and having parachute payments, it enables the club to be on a different playing field to some of the others.

"I guess, with everything that's going on, we are going to be on a bit more of a level playing field with some of the others now.

"Then we've got to be better at what we do than they are. Simple as that."

Big Mick on Mark Harris: ‘When he’s come on, he’s looked lively. It’s vital that when you get your chance, you take it. We’re currently discussing a new contract. He’s got a year’s option, so he’ll be here next year. If he doesn’t play in the first-team, we can loan him out.’

Jordi Osei-Tutu has returned to parent club Arsenal from his loan at Cardiff City after suffering another injury.

The 22-year-old has made only nine Bluebirds appearances, with an ankle ligament injury his latest problem.

The defender will miss Cardiff's final Championship game, at home to Rotherham on Saturday because of it.



MICK McCARTHY:

"It's awful, its demoralising and you almost get embarrassed if you keep getting injured," said Cardiff boss Mick McCarthy.

"It's soul-destroying for players, especially young players. So I do feel for him because he is a terrific talent, he really is.

"The little bits I have seen of him, I loved him."

Osei-Tutu suffered a hamstring injury at Cardiff in October, having impressed at right-back, and had six months on the sidelines before making his final two appearances for the club in April.

Shame for Tutu; but it was reported here that his season was effectively finished at Christmas...

Hopefully, we can have him back for next season. He looked like someone who fitted into the team :clap:

MICK McCARTHY:

“Regarding Mark Harris”

"It is vitally important when they come on to take their chances," McCarthy said.

"I'm not going to demean the fact he came on and scored, but coming on and scoring in a 4-0 is different to getting that winner, to being there when you win 1-0 having started the game.

"Nevertheless it was a great strike. The keeper had made a good save off him just before that as well.

"We've been trying to get him in there, that six-yard box and second six-yard box, me and TC. But when he has come on he has looked lively.

"It's vital when you get your chance you take it."

All three of Harris' goals this season have come in 4-0 wins. But perhaps there is merit in what McCarthy is saying; being the player who makes the difference is vastly different to being the one who adds more sparkle to an already glittering display.

Quite what next season has in store for him is something of a mystery at the minute. There is little doubt that Mick McCarthy wants to add a striker this summer, potentially even two if Kieffer Moore is prised away, meaning competition will likely only get fiercer.

Whether Harris is seen as a player who can evolve to become a mainstay up front is very much up in the air, but all he can do at the minute is keep taking his chances. He rolled his ankle this week but it is thought he will be fine for the Rotherham game on Saturday afternoon.

He has shown his ability in front of goal this season, and will hope to continue that against the Millers, but perhaps needs to affect it when it comes to crunch time. The stall has been set out by McCarthy.



The club have an option to extend his contract until next season, but the future beyond that is still to be determined. But McCarthy, who confirmed the club have started negotiations over a new deal for the young striker, has not ruled out a loan spell for Harris next term.




MICK McCARTHY:


"We are currently discussing a new contract, so whatever happens he will be here next year," the manager added.

"I would prefer it if he signed and he is happy with it.

"If he doesn't play in the first team then we can loan him out."

"Rotherham having their Championship status riding on this game is a huge thing...

"As much as I like Paul Warne, we'll be going tooth and nail to win the game as well."
