Celtic South Wales Development

Have you heard of this? Celtic have set up a development centre down here to take the best of our young talent and take it to Scotland!

It's alright, the people of South Wales are spending money "supporting" Liverpool to encourage talent be taken to Merseyside instead.

Any talented Sth Wales youngster shouldn’t touch Scottish football with a barge pole if they want to progress.

These development centres are just a money spinner for the clubs - they area lot different to the academies.

Development centres are not academies

My mates kid goes to a Bristol city academy in Pencoed. Winds me up.

Perhaps other clubs are beginning to notice that Cardiff City's Academy does not produce their own first team players and, as a result, figuring that some parents of talented local youngsters might be looking elsewhere when considering which club their boy should join?
