Glenn Williams reckons a 6 figure fee https://mobile.twitter.com/GlenWilli...86959650164736
Kieron Evans has been loaned to Torquay as rumoured https://mobile.twitter.com/CF11Acade...68658119139328
It's a bit of a strange considering Morison moaned more than once about the lack of wingers. We've brought in 1 (I think?) so it's not like Evans would have been miles down the pecking order
He looked decent as well in his short cameos. As far as I can tell that's Evans, Bowen, Connolly and Zimba all gone either on loan or permanently, but I'm sure some of our fans will continue to buy the line about Morison playing a bunch of kids
People will lap up any old rubbish if it sounds good. To be fair, provided Davies, Colwill, McGuinness, Denham and Bagan kick on, hell have passed that test. You cant play all of them. Im surprised about Evans though, he started the first few Morison games, and then hes gone on loan to Linfield and the NL. I would have thought hed have got a league club. Wonder if his height counts against him
That feels like the exit door for Evans. Year long loan in the NL and then he is out of contract?
It would take something amazing for him to force his way back into the Cardiff first team squad.
12 months ago he seemed to be the next cab off the rank.... then it changed.
I don't recall him making much impact in the few games he played with us. Certainly less than Colwill, Davies or even Bowen.
Looking back he played a few minutes at the end of some games under Mick, Started the Stoke game under Morison, but was taken off at 3-0 down and we went on to draw, then started against QPR.
You might be right about his physique putting some managers off as well.
Steve Borley appears to suggest that we're no longer pursuing the aim of becoming a category one Academy club or, if we still are, it's a lower priority than before;-

Really good and interesting interview that Paul. Just a couple of initial points to note
1. Yes , Steve has met with the Trust recently. It was me who met with him and we had a good positive meeting.
2. Steve suggests that the Trust should attend supporters travel meetings (known as SLO meetings). Not a criticism of Steve here as he has obviously not been informed of the fact , but at least two Trust board representatives attend every SLO meeting and report back on them to our members. Minutes of the meetings showing who was in attendance and what was discussed (travel arrangements still form the majority of the agenda at most meetings) are posted on the official club website (they are there but not easy to find).

Ligendza was listed as released but was a non-playing sub this evening. Maybe we're giving him another go.
Team for Carmarthen: Turner, Jones, McNamara, Tria Lizst (a lad from Hungary I assume), Clay, Kenniford, Colwill J, Hughes, Ligendza, T.R. Ialist, Wigley. Subs: Luthra, Semenyo, Benjamin, Davies, Ashford, Jefferies.
I like to think Ligendza has come back for pre-season in the hope no-one noticed he was released but maybe he just should have been listed in the retained section.
Strange isnt it, he was barely seen during last season as well. Also strange is that subs bench - two whove played first team football, another one whos been a sub for them and the player widely picked out as the best prospect at the club in the late teens age group.

This account that follows African players playing abroad suggests in the replies it was a mistake and that hell be staying:
