This young lad is getting rave reviews, he looks an immense talent (I saw him run the show for Wales in an under 21 match against England)
Cardiff certainly are doing something right and the moment and producing a good crop of talented young players.
Now he seems to me like the type of player that would would have been snapping up in the past few years, do you feel we have moved away from our policy to snap up as much talented youth as we can to focus on developing what we already have (or even the focus is shifted to the first team with no one in place who is responcible for the youth scouting)
It could be argued that buying a player like him who seems to be slightly further down the line in his development would hinder the likes of Bostock, Parrert or whoever else we have in his postion. On the flipside of that you would say the competition would ensure the cream rises to the top.
We are not being linked with these youngesters anymore and have not signed any since Bostock (Ramos era) Has the sacking of DC signalled the end of our focus on youth scouting and development?
I personally feel he could come in right away and be first team ready (atleast provide competition with O'Hara for the LEft Midfield spot and give us more options.) and he would no doubt settle in well with Bale and Gunter already at the club and Ramsey a stone's throw away with the scum.
(although granted I have not seen enough of him to make my statement he would be first team ready with any reak conviction and Cardiff my not want to sell.....if the price was right I doubt they could hold out though)
