No troubles getting on the grass, but it was a bit of a struggle to get in the building by the end

It all worked out ok, the group carried him in length ways.

Reported on Twitter that several clubs, including Man City, Villa & Southampton, are interested in Troy Perrett

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Bianchieri as well seen some rumors on Twitter could be off?
At what point do you do a Brentford and bin off the academy. Seems like it’s basically just a way to develop highly rated young players for the Prem. Not that the Brentford model would work for us the way the club is run, but if we lose 3 highly rated youngsters in under a year before they have a chance to play for us what is the point.

It is disheartening isn't it if we lose the best of the young players we develop.
It seems like a broken system if bigger clubs can poach the best of smaller clubs' academies before they can even get any decent money for them, then just loan their academy stars out for a few years before letting them go.

Not quite the same thing, but I wonder what’s happened to Cian Ashford?

I'd heard that all those offered scholarships had accepted them and signed up. I hope it's true.
It seems a bit unlikely that a player would reject terms and then be selected two age groups up a few weeks later.
That said, Charlie Crew was playing for the U18's quite late in the season last year.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
An interesting piece on this topic here: https://roathboy.com/why-it-is-growi...rubin-colwill/
He seems to think that Biancheri is as good as gone, but then again he said Bale had signed so...

Quite.
The overall points of the article are interesting though and a little concerning. Charlie Crew going to Leeds as well as the reported interest in several players suggests this is a talented group (they also form the bulk of a good Wales u17 side) so it would be a shame to lose them

Biancheri was supposed to be off in the summer but he stayed. Flaw with his article, there’s nothing to stop them from leaving if we are at Cat 1 either. We just need to make sure they know they have a path to the first team. If they still leave, that’s disappointing but that’s the best incentive. Us being an average at best Champ club is probably the best thing for these young lads as they’ve only got to be better than people like Harris and Whyte to get minutes.

Crew has left, he’s not on trial. He’s signed for Leeds
