Just spoke to City Gent aka Anthony, He says Tommy O'Sullivan, is a quality player and today has started his first Wales Under 21's game :ayatollah:

I love hearing Welsh City players doing well :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

I've worked with his mother in the past and she used to be an old teacher of mine. I used to take my boy up to the school a year or so back for football training and he had his city shirt on, she was telling us then about Tommy. :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

He's a very very good footballer. I watched him for the first time about 2 years ago and knew we had a talent on our hands.
The only concern was that he was very small and slight. I thought he would have broke through to be a prominent fixture in the development squad last season but he rarely featured.

I seen him play lately and he seems to have bulked up loads. I have also been told that the staff a very pleased with his progress. He's definitely one to keep an eye on.

Hopefully with us! I can remember Ramsey being talked about the same way years ago. Nearly had a chance to play against him in a 5 aside match as he was beginning to make his name in the academy and on here too.

I'm almost 100% sure I remember him signing a 4 year contract

From seeing all home development games last year plus heine games this year. I would have said Wharton, Harris and Oshijali were better than him. Hope he does well though as I do with all our academy and younger players.

Kane Owen and Healy have both been very good this year.

The only Ayer from the DVPS games I think should be given a chance now though is Harris for me he's one of our best wingers and I would put him on the bench over both Noone and Smith.

Great news for Tommy. He hasn't long turned 18 and although his chances have been limited so far, his father Paul is extremely happy how things are progressing for Tommy and the way he's treated by Cardiff City

For an 18 year old to get his first cap at U21 is a big achievement in itself :thumbup:

Last I heard we were 4-0 up

Least we're actually beating San Marino this time, the previous result against them was f*cking embarrassing, future of Welsh football in jeopardy still. Whoevers managing the U21s is a fucktard

At last some good positive news after a thoroughly depressing week. Depressing news caused by idiotic actions by our silly and naïve owner. :sad7:
A young Cardiff City player showing great potential …………….AT LAST ! A SMILE ON MY FACE :ayatollah:

Also I read 'Thomas Lawrence' am I right in thinking he's the academy prospect we let go and he joined Manchester United?

Damn, still glad to see there's a Welsh talent at the top club in England unfortunately not with us though! Definitely was one Welsh player who was with us then joined United, around 15,16?

Agreed, always nice to see. Yes I know who you are thinking of mate. We did let a player go and then Man Utd snapped him up, but can't for the life of me think who!

Good to hear, Lets hope he stays focussed on his football and doesn't mix with the wrong crowd outside of football as it looks like another Rambo coming through the ranks :D :ayatollah:

Another good news football related topic which is good to see. Just shows the great team we have picking up these kids from grass roots and looking after them. There may be some bad times at international level but on the club front we have come so far. Onwards and upwards I hope
