By the EGGO mind, so I am on tenderpins here and I may turn out an escapegoat. :hehe:
Little did we know that the kid we released that fateful day would go on to play for Leicester city's under 18s.
Am I missing something.? Who are these young players we keep releasing who make good.?
Even this kid hasn't made it. Good luck to him though.
Well I can think of 2 off the top of my head Rabbi Matondo, Regan Poole. Neither have they "made it" yet mind you but their futures look brightQuote:

It is not as if we have made the same mistake as we did with Gareth Bale and all those sell on clauses is it?:biggrin:
I was going to say the same thing. I cannot recall a youngster from academy or youth team we let go that made it big in recent years.Quote:

I played mini's football with Rhys, was a standout player even then
2 or 3 players from that team joined Cardiff the next season, I think one is still at the club
Good luck to him :thumbup:
Yeah the future looks orangeQuote:
