Thread: Our Scouting System ?

    Our Scouting System ?

    How come that cardiff lad who plays for Swansea wasn't seen by us ?

    I know Bristol Rovers and Southampton used to scout our catchment area but this sort of thing is a bit of a farce isn't it ?

    It could be said Colwill is more in their catchment area.

    Ben Cabango had trials at the Cardiff academy and was rejected because his passing wasn’t considered good enough, obviously we’ve been blessed with so many ball playing centre backs recently he’s not been missed.

    He joined Newport at 13. There's so many kids in our system at that age it's not surprising that one slips through the net once in a while.
    Maybe it wasn't the clubs' decision and he left on his own accord.

    Harris is from Swansea too , as was Adam Matthews

    It happens , City had ( might still have) an academy in Pontadawe, Swansea have one in Cardiff and another in the Valleys, so bound to be a crossover.

    Looks like we’ve got development centres in Bristol, Merthyr, RCT, Oswestry, ( Dragon Development) , West Glamorgan , Newport from what I’ve found

    He started out as an attacking midfielder in fairness
