Once again Cardiff now in the youth being the future

ONCE AGAIN MORE BULLSHIT ABOUT THE FUTURE BY THE BOARD & GLEN WILLIAMS

How many youth start this season or last season?

So much bullshit

Glen Williams Tan / Dalmans PA


Nearly 13 years of this and please someone name how many players have we produced????





Cardiff will be linking to the youth players to be eventually joining the first team squad.

Every few years the City Hierarchy look to bringing the youth through in to the first team due to the cost cutting, just last season and the previous season City we’re going to bring in the latest batch of youngsters but found themselves near the relegation zone once again and most of them were sent out on loan and many later released.

Mark Hudson says they store building for the future and Tam has been planning to have a first team full of Accademy players.




It's been more of a mixed start for Darren Purse's crop of under-21s this season after a summer which, like the first team, needed some heavy recruitment. Results aren't everything at that level, of course, but they certainly help to elevate the murmur to a buzz among supporters.

However, while it might not seem like there has been as much emphasis this time around, ahead of Mark Hudson's meeting with the Cardiff City board next week, he insists they are all on the same page when it comes to the importance of developing first-team players from within.

"We have got an understand of what it looks like going forward. We have still got a pathway for our young players, which is absolutely something we believe in," Hudson said.

"The young players are pushing, they want to be involved with the first team. We have got a route and a plan, individually, for every player, which is great. We know how that process works.

"We have got the likes of Kingy (Eli King) on loan, doing well with Crewe, (Kieron) Evans is away doing well [at Torquay], Chanks (Chanka Zimba) is maybe suffering a little bit for game-time [at Newport County]. But we have got a plan for each individual."

A couple of City's academy players have earned plaudits from the ardent followers of the under-21s. James Crole's goalscoring record at that level has been consistently impressive, Jack Leahy has his admirers, too, especially after scoring a certified stunner to beat Swansea City in the mini-South Wales derby. Others such as central midfielder Cameron Antwi and defender and captain Xavier Benjamin have come in for praise, too.


Cardiff have many youngsters coming through and intend to havre a team full of home grown players

It's a great dream; but (sadly) the reality will be different...

That’s my point Chris,

I want and always have wanted our youth to succeed, but we are fed up of the bullshit

Ant decent kids , if they can, prefer to go to the Swansea academy - and it's better than ours - or rather it has been over the last 10-15 years.

The next croup have some gems. I know this from personally having family invovled.
There's a gap of about 5 years where there's a handful who have potential. But you don't know till they hit 17 really. So it's hard to know till next season really and see how the development teams get on.

To be fair, King does appear to be doing well and is getting rave reviews at Crewe.

As for the others, I can't speak of them as I haven't seen or heard much. From the glimpses I have seen of Colwil, he does look good.

And yet another example of tan not getting any return for the money he pumps into the club .I've gone from detesting him (because of the red nightmare).to actually feeling sorry for him

Steady on skiprat, you're going soft
