He was legally poached last summer from our academy.
The current system stinks. Anyone showing any promise can be enticed away with next to no recompense to the club who spent years developing them.
The current system needs to change or more clubs will adopt the Brentford model which doesn't benefit youngsters.
Using Rabbi Matondo's exit as an example a fairer system would have given us at least 50% of the fee Manchester city got for him. The percentage should be set by the number of years between transfer fee and joining their first academy. If say we had spent 5 years developing the player and so had Manchester city then a 50 50 split would be fair.

Well said, it is a disgrace. If not checked, it could end up with only half a dozen teams having Academy's throughout the English League.
David Moyes's suggestion of teams being limited on registrations is one of the best I've heard.

The last I heard is that it would be a Cat 1 academy in all but name.

Am I the only one watching this? 0-0 at half time and forget about efforts on target, I don’t think City have had a shot yet. My message to anyone not watching is an ancient comedian’s catchphrase (was it Arthur Askey?) - you lucky people!
Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
OMG Xavier Benjamin has been outstanding the first half.
From his excellent distribution with a defence splitting pin point pass as a highlight to tracking back and cooly denying Watford an open goal after Collins had rounded our keeper only to stroke the ball into the net to score - Benjamin who had ten yards to make up raced past the Watford striker taking the ball from his feet and clearing.
Breathtaking to see especially his composure
First team football is surely inevitable for this young man and deservedly so - soon !!

Just turned on for the 2nd half so haven't suffered as yet
My question would be that why aren't Davies and Colwill getting game time to get minutes under their belt or is Colwill still tired after warming up for about an hour on Saturday
PS just saw a shot on target by leahy
Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Yes there is some other nutcase watching Paul
So glad I wrapped up for this lol 🥶
Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
More boring rubbish from a Cardiff team - 3-0 down to a Watford team which I believe only had three points going into today’s game.

I watched about 25 minutes of the 2nd half, same as the first team, no urgency , no threat going forward , ponderous passing without any intent of progress and basic errors at the back
Depressing stuff
