To be Honest its not good enough we don't offer enough youngsters professional contracts we just let them go. My mate i played football with Declan Dalley, brilliant defender and he single handed won the welsh cup for our team but he played for Cardiff and they let him go and now he plays for Manchester United..... also another lad i know Liam Sheppard played for Cardiff academy he was let go and now he plays for Swansea ..... We have a bad habit of letting our best talent go.

You can't win em all. Even some top clubs let talent go sometimes. Besides we have brought some talent through over the last few years. Earnshaw, Collins, Blake, Ramsey, Matthews, Blake, Nugent, etc We don't do too badly really.

Jordi Alba was let go by Barca surprising.

True, we have had a lot of talent over the years, we have a good academy and development staff.

any news on who the other 4 players were?

Is nine some sort of record?

Happens at the end of every season, but I can only ever remember the odd one or two in the past.

Let's loan them all out now and see how they progress.
