[edit] Former Academy Players

Is this list correct? The reason I'm asking is that the bulk came through the youth system; is this player list intended to be purely for players coming through after it got academy status? Maybe an idea to split the section into Academy graduates and previous graduates? ie, have something like a pre-Academy history section, listing notable former youths? Certainly Searle, Young, Jerome didn't come from the Academy... Jerome joined us at 18, so may have been final year, possibly? Minkythecat (talk) 12:54, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

The list is made up of players who have come through the youth system at Cardiff rather than the relativley new academy. The article as a whole is basically on the Cardiff youth system rather than the academy specifically. Kosack (talk) 14:44, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Agreed - might be useful clarifying that, maybe separating. Too little time :p Minkythecat (talk) 15:00, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Academy Players

Is Sak actually an academy player? I thought he'd just joined on a full pro contract? Minkythecat (talk) 12:54, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

To be honest I have no idea as information on Sak seems to be very thin on the ground, but he joined the club at eighteen so qualifies for the under-18's so is still listed here (similar to Ramsey who is unlikely to return to the under-18's but still qualifies).
