Craig Bellamy:
"Ronan, I've known him since he was very, very young. I've kept an eye on him. Even last year, I tried to buy him for Burnley. So I'm fully aware of him, having been watching him, especially over the last couple of years.
His progression has been outstanding. I think his potential can be ridiculously high. He's very athletic. Very intelligent. If he wasn't injured, I would have had him in March.
So he's a player, especially in the right-back position. We have one or two young ones coming through, but we don't have a big area in there so we really need to start developing players in that position. He's the perfect profile for that.
You might see him move clubs this year. I don't think it will just be them [Burnley].
They [Cardiff] didn't know [back then]. We pulled away."

Bellers has maybe just got us some decent money for a player not in our team.

True but I would personally like to see both Kpakio and Lawlor as regulars this coming season.

Absolutely, these are the players we need to hold onto.

Incredible that these boys haven’t been given much of a chance at Cardiff. We have been run by clowns in the board room and the dug out.

Exactly my thoughts. It's embarrassing really.

Makes you think why we didn't see more of him last season in an absolutely dog-shit performing defence/team.

If Buckingham becomes manager these boys will get a chance for sure.
The style that Buckingham enjoys is very similar to what Bellers does for Wales. High press from the front, full backs pushing on with wingers high up. One holding midfielder and two creative.
That wouldn’t have worked in championship with Cardiff but in league one we could get some right momentum.
I said when Des got sacked by Oxford that I thought Des would be higher than Oxford within a few years. It would be class if that was with Cardiff.
