Bellamy is in Santa Ponsa and he said this lad is going a long long way and he’s quality.



Because We have not offered Dylan Lawlor a New Contract yet???


Been told that if we sell kids to a foreign club ( like when Ledley went to Scotland) we DON'T get compo. However, if Lawlor went to an English club, we STILL wouldn't be entitled to compo as we HAVENT OFFERED HIM A DEAL!

SHOCKING

BBM Sort this out if your in charge??






Dylan Lawlor.

The lad seems quality, he’s 19 years old.

Impressive with Wales.

I Cannot believe why the Hierarchy have let his contract run down nor can I get why they are not sorting
this out ASAP? ?

Takeover or not, they should all still be focused on day to day running of our club.


Bloody hell they sorted Etete and Evan’s every year and they have been useless for us.

Annis I’ve been saying for quite a while now that Lawler is our most promising youngster he’s a very, very good player and I fully expect him to be a regular starter this season

Need to get him tied down to a long term contract (unless we have tried and he doesn’t want to sign one)

Be a huge shame if he left the club because he’s got a massive future

Absolutely ridiculous.

We are constantly being told that the club will be looking at developing it's own talent and relying on what the new coach can achieve with the current crop of youngsters and then they allow the situation where one of the more talented youngsters could just slip through their fingers.

So to recap

17th July 2025 - season starts two weeks on Saturday.

No new signings
No loan signings
Numerous players left the club.
Players seemingly injured already.
New coach
Promising young players at risk of being lost.
Same old clowns running the show.

Could be a long old season!

I was under the impression he'd signed a long term extension to his contract towards the end of last season?

I’ve always rated Dylan and have said so plenty of times on here. In my opinion, he’d make an excellent captain for us. Some posters will come back with the usual line that he’s too inexperienced, but to me, that’s nonsense — talent, attitude, and leadership ability are what matter most.

Here’s a link to a really good watch that makes the case for why Dylan deserves a new contract and the captain’s armband. Strongly recommend giving it a look:

We'd be the only club with a 19 year old captain with 2 senior appearances in the history of football. Sounds like something we'd do, to be fair.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Who would have thought it eh, a player getting injured at a football club.

Absolutely ridiculous.

I know the point you're making but the season hasn't even started yet!

Some players seem to get injured when they blow their nose.

Surely he has a new contract? His last one run out a couple of weeks ago, on 30th June?

Absolutely ridiculous.

We as fans can see this but it seems the upper echelons of our club seems to be having an arse dragging session as per usual, tie this lad up to a long contract asap or risk losing him for peanuts.

We'd be the only club with a 19 year old captain with 2 senior appearances in the history of football. Sounds like something we'd do, to be fair.

Yes, he’s only made two senior appearances for Cardiff, but let’s be honest—that says more about the decisions of two poor managers than it does about Dylan’s actual ability. His leadership qualities are well known: he’s captained Wales at every youth level and has been praised by national team coaches for how he handles the role.

The idea that a 19-year-old captain is somehow unheard of just isn’t true. There are plenty of examples in football where young players have been trusted with the armband:

Fernando Torres – Captain of Atlético Madrid at 19
Nigel Reo-Coker – Captain of Wimbledon at just 18
Gary Gillespie – Given the captaincy at Falkirk aged 17
Jude Bellingham – Captained Borussia Dortmund at 19
It’s not about age—it’s about character, presence, and respect from your teammates. Dylan ticks all those boxes. Appointing him captain would be bold, yes, but it could also be the exact kind of statement this club needs.

Think he needs to establish himself in the actual team before we start thinking about captaincy!!

But I do agree potentially a future captain a few years down the line if he keeps progressing

Fair point—yes, ideally you’d want a player to be properly established in the first team before taking the armband. However, I just don’t see anyone else in the current squad who is better suited than Dylan right now.

He’s already shown leadership far beyond his years with Wales, and from what we've seen (and heard) of him on and off the pitch, he’s got the temperament, intelligence, and presence to lead. If the squad was full of natural leaders, fair enough—but it isn’t. That’s the real issue.

Sometimes you build the team around the right captain, not the other way around.

If choo and co negotiating then god help us

Who said that?

The 2 appearances is the elephant in the room of this debate. Re-do the list you prepared and add number of appearances for club(s) and country for both at senior level.

I'd bet they're closer to triple figures than just 2 appearances.

Fair enough — I’ll concede that most of the players I originally mentioned had more senior appearances than Dylan when they were handed the armband.
Gary Gillespie captained Falkirk at just 17, with only a handful of games under his belt. Sure, Falkirk weren’t a massive club, but they were a senior side in the Scottish League — and struggling at the time, much like we were last season. It was a bold decision based on potential and leadership qualities rather than experience.
There are other good examples, too
Cesc Fàbregas was named Arsenal captain at 21, but had already captained the side in games at 19.
Jude Bellingham, as I mentioned earlier, captained Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League at 19.
Matthijs de Ligt became Ajax captain at just 18.
Martin Odegaard was handed the Norwegian national team captaincy at 22, but had captained club sides much earlier in games.
Reuben Loftus-Cheek captained Chelsea in a domestic cup match at 19.
Of course, most of these had more minutes under their belt — I’m not ignoring that. But it’s not always about appearances. If the current squad lacks a natural leader, and Dylan has shown those qualities consistently at the youth international level, then why not consider it? He’s already earned the respect of coaches in the Welsh setup. Sometimes you build your team around a young captain with the right mentality, not wait until someone with 200 games shows up.

I'll concede due to the fact that you aren't answering questions and just replying with the same response.

I'll just end with my closing statement: No-one in professional football history has captained a first team with 2 appearances.

It's simply not going to happen.

Agree, must sort out his contract ASAP.

Mamadou Sakho was named captain on his professional debut for PSG at 17 years old.

Surely he has a new contract? His last one run out a couple of weeks ago, on 30th June?

Chris he’s quality and NO he has not been given a contract up to today.

Mamadou Sakho was named captain on his professional debut for PSG at 17 years old.

Thanks for that — I didn’t realise Sakho was made captain on his debut! I thought Gillespie being handed the armband at 17 after just four games was impressive, but that’s on another level. Unbelievable.

We must not let Lawyor leave and if BBM is for our youngsters he won’t.

We are still surrounded by fools and idiots running OUR CLUB !!!

If this is true it’s shocking by the club.

We need to sort this out with our youngsters asap.

Bellamy is in Santa Ponsa and he said this lad is going a long long way and he’s quality.



Because We have not offered Dylan Lawlor a New Contract yet???


Been told that if we sell kids to a foreign club ( like when Ledley went to Scotland) we DON'T get compo. However, if Lawlor went to an English club, we STILL wouldn't be entitled to compo as we HAVENT OFFERED HIM A DEAL!

SHOCKING

BBM Sort this out if your in charge??

Very concerned about the Lawlor situation, given what Annis just told me.

Very very not good.

Ned it’s really Shocking by Our Hierarchy.

It's criminal that they haven't renewed dylans contract he is by far the best prospect to come from our academy in a long time and he will go right to the top and will captain Wales one day

Why we are allowing a car salesman to sort out player contracts shows why this club is a joke at the moment

Losing Lawlor for free will be one of the biggest mistakes those clowns will make

I believe the club had the option of an extra year but it still means he can talk to other clubs from January

We really need to nail him down to a 5 year contract asap
