Saw this lad a few games for the development side. Looks a decent future prospect. Is he with Cardiff this year?? and could he be worth a shot in the first team, or is it too early for him?

I think he is a quality player and one of the best young players that we have got. The way he plays would suit the premier league in my opinion and if not given a chance of first team football with us then maybe send him out on loan to a championship or league 1 club to get first team experience

Players like Tommy need to be out on loan and playin at his stage, Malky could chuck him in the deep end once or twice see how he does. Its just will Malky have the balls to play him in a league match?

Loan move to Newport/Wimbledon wouldn't do him any harm

I know his father and in a recent function at the stadium, when we spoke to Malky a mate of mine asked him about Tommy. Malky replied with"Lovely kid and has a great chance". We'll probably see Tommy get a few development games this year then hopefully further soon. If you're good enough you're young enough, but as Gary Neville said the other day, the chances in the premier league for homegrown talent are becoming fewer by the season aren't they, which needs to be addressed

I have known Tommy for a long time as my son played with him in the academy I think he has a bright future but still has a lot of development and not close to being ready for the premiership The lads comimg through now are far better than those in the 80s and 90s who made the first team but we were at a lower standard. The premiership as we all know is a totally different level
The good thing is the club can now afford to give players like Tommy the time to develop which young players in the past did not get the opportunity It was either first team or get rid

I've heard good things about Tommy as well.
Also heard good things as well about Declan John and Theo Wharton too.
Fiar play, we have some cracking youngsters coming through!

His mother is the head at my old comp. I bumped into her a year or so back when taking my son footy training with Cambrian and she was talking to us about Tommy

Not to early for him, some players thrive on the chance.
Some young players who go out on loan are the ones who usually end up leaving to League 1.
Luke Shaw was 17 when he got playing and he thrived so I expect our youngsters too.

A massively overrated player, will never get in the Cardiff team.
