This could be the reason that Man City's interest in Lewys Benjamin has cooled

Lewys Benjamin failed his medical didn't he?

That would explain whilst he has had to drop out of a few Wales U17's squads. I'm glad he is staying (if he is), whatever the reason. We haven't had an U18 goalkeeper of his height since Dave Richards

7 City players in the Wales U17 squad, as well as 2 who have recently been poached by Premier League Clubs. Trey George the unlucky one to miss out.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Interesting (Welsh) interview here with Iwan Morgan, Wales u17s and Swansea youth player. Cardiff boy and says he was in our academy, that would have been one hell of a crop of him, Biancheri, Crew etc. Interesting that he left, though it doesn't sound like he intends on staying around at Swansea for too long...

“We’re not here to take part. We’re here to take over, baby!” 🎙️

I believe that he is different to Biancheri and Crew in that we released him (stand to be corrected on this). Sounds a proper Kaardiff boy. His Welsh is good, I presume he's a Glantaf boy who's parents were West or North Walians.

He looked handy for Wales U17's, a real bull of a Centre Forward. Definitely one we've missed out on like Poole, Cabango and Lockyear. But they all develop at different ages.

He did.

"Oh they can't be after him as they are after another keeper" is a dumb position to make, Prem Academies stockpile ffs.

Bro Edern I believe, the new(ish) one in Penylan

His size was noticeable when I watched the u17s. He has something ridiculous like 8 goals in 5 games for them, but that doesn't necesarily mean he'll go on to great things of course, Simon Church was prolific at youth international level for instance

I did think that Biancheri & Crew looked the best of the bunch whenever I've seen the u17s, along with the Southampton player Andrews

Trey George's goals against Burnley. The second one was a cracker. Maybe he should be in the first team to take penalties too! https://twitter.com/CF11Academy/stat...18298343698434

Maybe we should start lobbying for American Football type special teams to be introduced for dead ball situations and penalties?

By George, what a great goal by George.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

One last game, the club website is saying that the under 21s are at home to Crewe this lunchtime - no confirmation of this on any other social media yet, but I'm pretty sure it will be streamed if the match is played today. Hopefully, there'll be confirmation of this later this morning.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Just to confirm that the game with Crewe is today, kick off 1 o clock at Leckwith and it is being streamed.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Quite a few members of the Wales under 17 squad starting for the under 21s today.

A fully Welsh starting XI I believe?
