Harris talking about Academy players

Harris says he will use Academy players if they are good enough
Let's hope he keeps his word because we have lost quite a few academy players to other clubs :ayatollah:

We should have made a mass investment in the academy 6 years ago

That ond academy player would make a massive difference to us

He said if they’re good enough - so don’t expect any surge in academy players for a while

Academy manager James McCarthy has already got rid of Andy Legg from the U23s. McCarthy is the one the club need to get rid of.

Brentford I think got rid of their academy altogether,all it produces is players for other clubs lower than themselves.
The cost of running such a scheme doesn’t give value add,you may as well spend the expenditure on 1 decent player,it’s not as if this year’s U12s in 10 years time will be the Cardiff 1st team.
