Erol Bulut: “ Ollie Tanner “

Ollie Tanner aged 21

Signed for Cardiff City 13 Months ago / 2 appearances in the League Cup.


There appears to be a question mark over whether Ollie Tanner will stay with the squad or go out on loan yet again this summer, and Bulut admitted his mind has not been made up just yet. The winger can't have done his chances of sticking around any harm with that performance against League 2 The U's, though.


EROL BULUT:


“We haven’t made our decision yet. Young players have to play. It’s not good for them to sit on the bench or out of the squad in the under-21s," Bulut said of Tanner.

"Maybe it’s better for him to go out on loan but somewhere he will play often, not 6 or 10 games like he did last season in the Non League, it won't be enough for him, a minimum of 30-35 games he will have to play to increase his qualities.”

"Then, you never know, you might have a really good player for the future.”

He also played against Portsmouth last season , in the league cup .
So that's 2 appearance's for Cardiff .
This may be his break out season , the same as Rubin ?

Also a appearance as a sub against Leeds in the FA Cup.

thought he was brilliant last night, second half, hugged the touch line, made some lovely runs, you could see as soon as he went down it was a bad one, they kept him on but you could tell he was in pain, looking to pass the ball and wasn't running at defenders, hopefully its nothing serious

There's a player in there and hopefully the boss can get it out.

Totally agree with Bulut.

If these players are going to progress they need to go somewhere they'll play 30+ games. Same goes for all the younger players.

Won't do them any good playing academy games or sitting on the bench.
