    Little did we know that the kid we released that fateful day would go on to play for Leicester city's under 18s.

    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 bright

    No, but if Leicester think he's worth a contract, shirley Cardiff City could have offered him the chance, OR maybe he needed a kick up the arse, but a 6ft 2inch 17 year old, should have been given time.

    Maybe , but they haven`t made it yet.

    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?

    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.

    Tom Lockyer has played over two hundred games for Bristol Rovers at the age of 22 (I believe he's their captain as well) and has become a regular in the Wales squad. It's arguable whether he could have broken into the first team here in a position where we have been very strong in recent seasons, but it's disappointing to read on his Wikipedia page that we released him at 16 because we didn't think he was big enough to play centreback.

    We never "let go" Rabbi Matondo, he left due eppp ruling. It was entirely his choice and we fought our hardest to keep him.

    Plus I've heard we got something like £500k off Man City for him .

    Probably because they broke some sort of rule and didn't want reporting I'd guess.

    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
