Earnie
Gabbidon
Ledley
Gunter
Matthews
Collins
Blake
Ramsey
And more recently Ralls, Jarvis, Farah, Wildig etc..
I was just wondering who the best players in our current youth setup are? And who is most likely to make it big?

Declan John and Josh Yowarth were the names I also like the Theo as a player as well but not mentioned
however if we get two players from one age group that we be seen as a major success especially at the levels we expect to be at If we were in the lower division I am sure many of these players would make it there but our standards are now far higher and the options available to us are greater that making through the academy to first team is much harder than it's ever been

My chow main man. You are settling well into cardiff and know a lot about the youth set up.
I think you must be going to the wrong stadium to watch games- we are in the bigger stadium across the road by the kentucky flied chicken.
The kid that got away was Declan Dally from treherbert ( or Tree -her - burt)- centre half - very classy and now in Man U.
I think Declan John and about 4 others can have a future here and perhaps 1 or 2 others may be late developers.
How is ur man Safiq doing????
Hope he's velly well
All the best - you beast from the far east!!!
