Mannie Barton


18 years old next month, the promising forward has already been scouted by Premier League clubs, however Cardiff remain hopeful of keeping hold of one of their most exciting attacking prospects and want to send him out on loan.

Following the summer departures of Yakou Meite, Roko Simic and Michael Reindorf, the club are not flush with striker options. Yousef Salech and Callum Robinson are expected to compete for the starting role, with Davies ( injury prone) and Luke Pearce also in the mix — the latter currently viewed as being ahead of Barton in the pecking order.

While a loan spell looks likely.


Barton could still force his way into Barry-Murphy’s plans if he hits the ground running early in the campaign.

We can play these lads now early season, weaker opposition than championship, we need to start off by smashing in goals, create a noisy intimidating home venue .

Doing well.

I'd personally loan him out so he gets regular games.

This lad looks promising, watched him play in U21 a few times last season.
Get him training with the first team squad, give him a go in cup matches.
If he is as good playing senior football , we have a player capable of championship level or higher.

No need for a loan we have enough cup games to play before consider a loan.
At his age he should be able to play in first team against L1 players ,otherwise he wont make championship level.

Our problem is we never had so many promising youngsters at same time,they all need a chance to show what their capable of.
Giving them minutes is the hard decision BBM has to make. :bluebird:
