Brian and Yousef speak. (A) new player(s) by the weekend? A new captain tomorrow? https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport...s/cardiff-city-press-conference-live-32171771
This is good news. Barton was one of the players who stood out when I watched us at Ammanford recently Mannie Barton has signed his first professional contract with the Bluebirds. The 17-year-old joined the Academy at U10 level, progressing within the Club's youth system, gaining experience playing for both the U18 and U21 sides last season. please log in to view this image With professional terms agreed, the forward discussed his delight at committing the next step of his development to his boyhood Club: "It's a proud moment for me and my family," said Mannie. "From being a lad in the stands to signing a professional contract at 17 is a dream come true. "We're all from Cardiff so this means everything to my family. Playing against Yeovil Town in pre-season in front of all of the fans that travelled to support us was brilliant, and it was a great feeling to score in front of them, it's something that I'd like to do again! "It's an exciting time to be a young player at the Club. I'm taking my progress day by day, it keeps me excited and on my toes."

I had reasonable hopes for him. He's shown the very odd flash, but spends too much time on the physio's table. Too many long shots in the last 5 or so years.
More off the wage bill. Possibly come back next year if he finds any form..... and fitness. Can't play against his parent club as on loan.
One or two of these in their pomp would steady the ship for us. A couple of leaders in there. Will we have a new hero this year? https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/what-became-last-cardiff-city-31797611
"Powerhouse striker"................ https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/spo...use-striker-is-well-timed-for-millers-5253633
Just seen the squad numbers on Facebook. 3 keepers shown, Horvath, Alnwick and Turner. Where will Trott fit in unless 1 of the 3 leaves?
The problem these days is you get no clue as to pecking order from squad numbers. Or any clue as to where reinforcements might be targeted. Salech 22, Robinson 47 and no number 9. In years gone by, you'd assume we were in the market for a striker if the 9 shirt didnt have a name against it. https://www.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/news/202526-squad-numbers
BFB liked that. Masky has been watching Glamorgan cricket these last few days and wondered what positions BFB and IB would take up if they were players. Masky came up with BFB at “silly point” and IB at “what’s the point?”
