Aden Flint has nothing to worry about, but where now for the others left at home?

Manga's departure means that despite missing out on the trip to North America, new signing Aden Flint will feel confident that he has an important part to play in Warnock's plans for the season.
Similarly, the likes of Sol Bamba and Callum Paterson will surely feel their stock is high enough to keep them in the blueprint for next season.
Leandro Bacuna too, is clearly a player who Warnock is keen on, but what of Gary Madine and Lee Tomlin?
Like Bogle, there would have been no shortage of fans expecting to see Madine moved on this summer, although it's understood that a decision on his future hasn't yet been made.
The performances of Bogle, as well as the fact Warnock is still looking for a new striker this summer, means there are still precious few answers in terms of his immediate future in South Wales.
Madine has spent the summer with the under-23s, where he's been playing alongside Tomlin, another man keen to resurrect his Cardiff career.
Were it not for visa issues, both players would have likely gone on tour, but clearly both of them will need to work extra hard to catch Warnock's attention, despite some impressive performances with City's youngsters.
The fact Bobby Reid started all three games suggests he could well be Tomlin's main rival for the number 10 spot, while Madine will take comfort in the fact Bogle was the only striker to really catch the eye Stateside.
Finally, there's the question of Alex Smithies, who after the arrival of Day now appears to be Warnock's third-choice ahead of the new season, and there's little chance of that changing before the trip to Wigan on the opening day.
Cardiff's final pre-season game with Nice could well go some way to answering those lingering remaining questions.

Left at home
Best place for Madine, and for the rest of the season.

Hopefully Madine will be sold or at least loaned out again.
Hopefully Tomlin can fight for a first team place.

No visas so couldn’t go on the tour....with Zohore gone will probs have to keep Madine if we don’t sign another striker soon....I would keep Tomlin and see how he goes till January....if he’s true to his word, he could be a different player this season
