This club got the potential its not tapped into in recent years?


NEIL HARRIS:

"We want to give a pathway, we want to show a club philosophy."

"It’s a chicken and the egg scenario. You want to attract good young players and give them a chance, but you have to recruit them in the first place.

It’s not overnight success. Just because Joel and Sangy and Taz has been involved in the first team, it’s not just about ‘there we go, we’ve cracked it’. It takes time."

"It’s been an eyeopener to see how senior players have helped the young ones coming through, too. James McCarthy has done a brilliant job with the academy and I look forward to working with him closely moving forward.

It should excite the fans. They ultimately want to see Cardiff City fans playing in the first team. We aren’t going to see four or five of them in the first team, but in two or three years’ time moving forward."

Nice to see at last this is been addressed a long time since earnshaw and ramsay came through the ranks.

Agree 100% would be fab to cheer on a few local lads again!! And Harris is spot on in his assessment imho.

Nice words from Harris
Theres no magic wand.

Id love a quality striker, midfielder and
Centre half stroking
The ball around, playing players in
And creating space

But thats not where we are....
Basic players earning too much have
killed that idea a little.
And our recruitment has been poor for years.

We have to be sustainable
And that means youth sprinkled with
Experience and quality.

2 or 3 years it is then boy bach!

Academy been poor for awhile. Needs a solid shake up to be honest

yes it would be nice...and being cynical...why its being pumped through the speakers a week after Choo gave his cut backs speech..
personally I just don't see all this untapped potential.. our better under23 players have tended to play the odd cup game , go out on loan and end up nowhere near the standard required for our 1st team.. if manager after managers assessments on these had been poor , these boys would have been snapped up by other clubs surely ?
anyway it sounds good.
