Cardiff City boss was disappointed with Clyne choosing Bournemouth over his team despite talks reaching a final stage.
“I was disappointed with Nathaniel Clyne,” said the Cardiff manager. “Having known the player and given him his debut, I’m disappointed not just with the boy himself but with Liverpool as well for not ringing me. To see it on television when I’ve done everything right and they’ve promised that he’s my player this week, it’s a disgrace for me, it’s a lack of class isn’t it? But listen, we’re not going to get any favours, whether it’s on the pitch or off it and we’re always up against it and that’s when we’re good.”
“I probably should have been illegally tapping him, but I’ve done everything right and then Bournemouth come in and I suppose Bournemouth paying £19million for [Dominic] Solanke probably whetted their appetite a little bit.” Warnock also said his transfer plans were now disturbed. “The reason I’m disappointed with Nathaniel and Liverpool is that I’ve missed out on three players because of that by waiting. I lost out on a couple of full-backs and a striker, so I’m doubly disappointed.”
