Mick | They're all in good shape

Friday 9th July 2021

Mick McCarthy in training...





MICK McCARTHY:

Giving an update on his squad, the Bluebirds boss said: "They're all in good shape. They're happy to be back. I'm really pleased with them.

"They're a good squad of lads. There was a real togetherness last year and I think they integrate with anybody really well. The new lads are fitting into the squad. You can see the quality of the players we've brought in."


Discussing the fixture with Bath, Mick added: "We'll have two teams playing 2 x 45 minutes this Saturday as it is the first time back.

"You can't replicate the intensity without doing it, without being on the pitch and training as we've trained today. Even when you've done that the games are still a bit of a shock to the system when you start playing, especially if you do 90 minutes. We're all looking forward to it."


Kieffer Moore and Rubin Colwill will be unavailable for this first pre-season clash after their involvement with Wales at EURO 2020.

Mick continued: "I got a great kick out of Rubin being in the squad. When me and TC turned up, we didn't know anything about him. It was a Sunday morning recovery session and he stood out like a sore thumb. We did the necessary and right thing and got him signed up and he had games in the first team. But to get in the national squad was beyond anybody's imagination for this season.

"Kieffer continues to impress in terms of his performances and his endurance. He was quality and he managed to score in the EUROs, and that's great for him."

Reporter: Mick, it was reported on 247globalnews that the club is in an embargo. What do you say about that?

MM: (laughing) yeah but didn’t that crock of horseshite say that Gareth Bale was joining Cardiff? Can you imagine. Quarter of his wage a week is my weekly wage budget. What do they think Cardiff have got? 600 million in the bank from being in the premier league for two effing seasons. Bonkers they are, bonkers.
