I think City have just missed a trick with Luke & Barnsley have picked up a bargain at 1.2M. He's exceptional for someone has just turned 20, on loan at Coventry last season, his first in the league, their young player of the year. Barnsley have the faith to make him their first signing. In my opinion he's got big money transfers in his future.
It's not a missed trick.. We don't sign youngsters.
Perhaps it might be more accurate to say we do sign youngsters, but never to play first team football for Cardiff City?Quote:

I'll ask him where his grandparents were born! Name like Thomas and a few miles from the border!Quote:
