Good stuff, Crole in particular. A big rebuild happening in the U23s this summer too.

Surprised and quite disappointed about that - hope there’s a sell on clause involved.

Wasn't his year extension triggered?

Does that mean a fee?

Any link to the story?

Me too. Clearly did well on loan last season. I thought we might loan him to them again to see how he gets on in league 1.

A bit strange, we're hardly blessed with depth at centre back

It's a bit of a strange considering Morison moaned more than once about the lack of wingers. We've brought in 1 (I think?) so it's not like Evans would have been miles down the pecking order

He looked decent as well in his short cameos. As far as I can tell that's Evans, Bowen, Connolly and Zimba all gone either on loan or permanently, but I'm sure some of our fans will continue to buy the line about Morison playing a bunch of kids

People will lap up any old rubbish if it sounds good. To be fair, provided Davies, Colwill, McGuinness, Denham and Bagan kick on, he’ll have passed that test. You can’t play all of them. I’m surprised about Evans though, he started the first few Morison games, and then he’s gone on loan to Linfield and the NL. I would have thought he’d have got a league club. Wonder if his height counts against him

Didn't do much in the Northern Irish league, so probably difficult to convince managers he's going to make the difference for them in league one or two.

That feels like the exit door for Evans. Year long loan in the NL and then he is out of contract?

It would take something amazing for him to force his way back into the Cardiff first team squad.

12 months ago he seemed to be the next cab off the rank.... then it changed.
