It's should be an embarrassment to Cardiff City Barnsley have four players in the latest Welsh squad and we have none. If they can do it we surely should too. It's about time Cardiff City got its act together on the youth front.

Well it’s not through lack of investment!!

I think I’m right in saying a couple of the top prospects were poached by the Manchester clubs (Matondo and Poole ?) but the academy hasn’t produced many in the last 10 years.

I hear there are some with talent in the current crop so hopefully they’ve got their act together and we’ll have a few Welsh boys in the first team squad soon.

How many of those Barnsley players would get into Cardiff's squad at the moment? Not criticising your post by the way, just be interested to know as my knowledge of Barnsley players is just a bit more than zero.
