Hope that's not true, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was - played for the under 23s at fifteen last season and I believe he was captain of Wales at his age group. He's a midfield player who is probably best suited to a sitting role.

This is very disappointing. Leeds have also just pinched West Ham's best youth player, Sonny Perkins. This type of poaching should be harshly penalised. We got only £500k compensation for Rabbi Matondo from Man City and they sold him less that 2 years later for £11m and he never played a 1st team game for them. How can that be right?

Agreed, but the trend in recent years has been to make it easier for bigger clubs to do such things hasn’t it.

they should enforce a mandatory sell on fee, split by the proportion of their time spent in the academies at the selling and buying clubs:
i.e. if a player spends 3 years with us then 2 years with man city and then they sell him for 20 million we should get 60% of that or something like that

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Kieron Evans must have pissed somebody off at the club?
He had a few cameo appearances in the first team showing a few good touches then was sent out on loan to Northern Ireland of all places
Then this season he’s been loaned to Torquay in the National league probably to see out his contract
I can’t see him returning or being offered an extension
He was subbed on 46 minutes yesterday
Not a great start for the kid 🤔

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Could some of the omissions hint at some involvement in tonight's game? No King, I.Davies, Jeffries, Wigley or either Colwill

Could be. No Semenyo either.
Did I see somewhere that Davies is expected to be out until the end of the month?

Xavier Benjamin named as captain and 3 trialists in the starting 11.
I only recognise one name on the subs bench - although there were 4 or 5 new signings a week or two ago and the names didn't stick.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
We were supposed to be signing Cameron Antwi on Wednesday last week.
