Kieron Evans 21 years old this year was expected to be one of the stars from the Cardiff Academy but after 5 first team appearances, faded badly and went out on loan to Linfield where he made 5 appearances in 5 months.
James Collins is another player City are trying to move out, City might have to still pay some of his wages and will probably go out to a League 1 club.
Collins 32 yrs old scored 3 goals for Cardiff in 29 appearances.
It’s expected this week and next week that up to 6 players will be going out.
Steve Morison sees Mark Harris as one of his main strikers next season, despite having only scoring 6 goals in 54 appearances for the Bluebirds under 5 different managers.
Harris is 24 years old this year , the positive side for Morison is Harris is one of the lowest paid players.
Morison also see’s Isaak Davies who is 21 years old September as another month of his main strikers despite only 2 goals in 28 appearances for the Bluebirds.
Davies is very fast and also cheap, personally I think Davies would be a great winger.
Max Watters aged 23 has scored 1 goal in 11 appearances for the Bluebirds and 5 on loan to MK Dons in 11 appearances.
Morison is prepared to give the striker more time this season.[list=][/list]

Ironically both looked better off the bench than starting. As did most of our strikers as we couldn’t score in the 1st half- particularly under Mick.
Also both Davies & Harris have both been played out wide and in teams that create little.
If we are to judge them then this needs to be taken into account.
Both had good games and poor games, but they’ve both got something to offer.
Make or break for Harris this season, maybe a bit longer for Davies, wouldn’t write either off yet though

Tim , Harris has been with us for many years and was also sent out to Wrexham Non League and Newport County League 2 and failed at both clubs.
Yes great pace for 15-20 mins but he’s 24 yrs old he would of made it by now after 5 different Cardiff managers have managed him. Harris is kept on because he is cheap.
James Collins, it’s a def NO from me as a Championship striker and I said that from day one.
Isaak Davies, he could shine this coming season, but could also be a great winger.
If you believe they can all do it for us, then for me it’s bottom 3 for us this season.

I see Sunderland are interested.
He's had way too many chances and "fresh starts" time to move on

I think you’re right on Collins and Harris, although Harris isn’t a bad forward to bring on if we’re in front and just need to close people down. But as you say, at 24 you would have expected more from him.
Davies isn’t the finished article and deserves a bit more patience. He’s been unlucky with little injuries too. I’ve always said he’s a wide player but let’s see how he does this season.
Watters I’m still not convinced on but I will go with Morison’s decision on him.
We need a good striker, loan or full signing. We’ll see see what the window brings us but we need goals in this team.

I agree with you on everything you’ve said, but I would move Harris and Collins out now.
