Cardiff City players Matt Kennedy and Semi Ajayi set to join large group of Bluebirds players sent out on loan

There are already 11 senior members of Russell Slade's squad currently at other clubs, but the Cardiff boss may decide to make it 13 in the coming weeks

Matty Kennedy and Semi Ajayi could both join the contingent of Cardiff City players who have been sent out on loan.

Manager Russell Slade is weighing up the best way to help his fringe players improve and admits that winger Kennedy is ‘right on the fringes’ of his matchday squad.

Cardiff have 11 senior players out with other clubs now and Slade could yet decide to add to that number.

Former Everton player Kennedy, 20, was outstanding for the Bluebirds’ under-21 team in their 3-0 win against Brentford, but missed the 1-1 draw against Bolton this week.

Ajayi, 21, was at the heart of City’s back four against Brentford, but he too was rested against Wanderers.

Russell Slade is weighing up his squad


“We wanted Matty training with the main first team squad and took him out of the under-21 group this week,” said Slade.

“He is right on the fringes of things. He is down to play in our under-21 match at Nottingham Forest next Monday and we’ll assess things again after that.

“There is a lot of competition in those wide areas, but if there was an injury or two he would certainly come into consideration. If not he may go out on loan to play regular first team football at some stage.

“I’ve watched Semi in a couple of matches and he’s done really well. I’d like him to play League matches.

“We allowed Rhys Healey to join Dundee FC to gain experience and it may be that Matty and Semi will benefit from similar opportunities.”


Declan John is in Russell Slade's thoughts

Slade, though, will assess the needs of each individual player before making decisions, with left-back Declan John also in his thoughts.

“Declan’s situation is slightly different because he has had a few niggly injuries,” said Slade.

“He did well for the Wales under-21 team during their 3-1 win in Luxembourg and he too could be somebody who benefits from a loan move.

“But we don’t want to lose too many, The main group is currently 26-strong and we will be careful to ensure we have the cover needed as we move forward.”

Federico Macheda has a back injury

Cardiff have only two current injury concerns with Ben Turner and Federico Macheda in the treatment room.

Turner is still a couple of months away from returning to action after ankle surgery, but is ready to step up his running regime next week.

Macheda is being treated for a back problem and won’t be ready for this Saturday’s Championship home match against Huddersfield Town.

They can feck right off loaning kennedy out.

Literally one of the stupidest decisions ever if true.

why?

Because he was by far our most threatening player throughout the entirety of his play time last year. He is 20 odd years old. And has a huge, huge amount of potential.

Noone and Pilkington will eventaully hit poor form. Neither will stay fit for a year. Then who are we going to play?. Whittingham bombing down the wing? I think not.

Ameobi being the only other option.

Ridiculous!. They can do one!.

firstly he wont be going out for the whole season

secondly i imagine he can be called back if needed

and thirdly, there is no way he gets in the side at the moment anyway, potentially swapping noone for pilkington at the moment might be the only change.

paul hes depressed mun and cant see the light

We'll see.

Every decision is defended at the moment as we are playing well.

He is by far our best attacker. And it is not close.

Whilst he was attacking it's rumoured he doesn't have the right attitude when playing for the DVP side. I would much rather see John playing in that wing role than Kennedy

We'll see.

that... to be fair... is absolute nonsense

May as well loan him out, Slade don't play him, he is only rotting away, not even getting any minutes in the cup.

Mark my words!

I'll put it in my signature for a few weeks.

Very little signings by slade and then he loans them out Kennedy was by far are best attacking threat with the ball at his feet towards the end of last season then signs for us and has not been seen . You couldn't make this up

Nigel learn to edit after copy and pasting. I got repetitive strain injury in my thumb scrolling down so much.

Mark my words!

I'll put it in my signature for a few weeks.

What words are we marking?

This is a terrible decision (IF TRUE).

We now have two wingers on the team that have had terrible injury records. And they've also never had a prolonged period of good football, they always dip in form. I think Ameobi is great, but again he is never fit for a long time.

We are loaning him out when he should be starting.

Loan them out instead of rotting in the reserves and they are very young so will get more experience out on loan.

Why are you surprised? He sold Daehli, same type player as kennedy. Slade doesnt have the patience and/ or doesnt know how to nurture this type of player.
