      Yeah, probably.

      On that subject, WOL are saying today:
      "While many believe all of the under-21s should be getting loans in Leagues One and Two, it's of course not as simple as that, with lots of Championship and Premier League clubs offering up their best youngsters to teams in those divisions.
      It means Cardiff will have to get creative again this summer, opting for players' first loans to be in non-League or in the Cymru Premier, while players heading out on their second or third loans will be more attractive to teams in the EFL. That's the thought process, anyway."

      Transfer plan for City's youngsters as loans needed and starlet's setback
      https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/transfer-plan-cardiff-citys-youngsters-26915956
      Cardiff's first-team transfer plan is currently being thrashed out, but there is also a strategy in place for the youngsters at the club


      It's clearly not easy to create a path from academy to first team, but I really struggle to see the value in some of these loans. I wonder what other championship clubs are doing. Do they also struggle to find league one and two loans for their players?

        Yeah, and it's a bit much to expect players who are nowhere near consideration for our first team to play a level or two just below, especially when we get trounced by teams from that level in the first round of the league cup.

        That article also says we've released 6 players but didn't say who.

            I took that to be Darren Purse talking about under 21 players.

              Quite interesting where Purse is talking about Tom Davies, and how that stint at Ponty will make it easier for him to get a better loan this season. Mentions that he wanted to do the same with Jai Semenyo but Semenyo refused to play in the Cymru Prem.

              Not a great look for Semenyo.

                Thought Semenyo was disappointing last season - he went backwards in my opinion.

                    I guess if Davies does get a decent loan at a higher level this year you could say the club's right. If he (and others who've had loans at that level) doesn't though, maybe Semenyo has a point. Hard to see where he goes from here though if he's refusing loans they're setting up for him.

                          Yeah, me too, although he seems to have miscounted. Not surprised at Leahy, but thought Pritchard looked quite useful.

                          Edit: Just noticed this has been discussed on the retained thread.

                            Can't see any mention of Lennon Peake, so maybe he's the 6th man.

                              Some on twitter saying he is, but they're probably just guessing. He was given a contract just to the end of the season wasn't he, but then so was Wickham and he's mentioned?
