Rumours he may be in the Cardiff squad tonight?
Rated as one of the best players to come through the Cardiff ranks in years according to Bellamy.
"A clever midfield player - Sion is known for his determination and ability to score a variety of goals."

First I've heard of it but would be great if he does make his debut. Gets compared to Ramsey a lot, if he becomes even half the player then we've got a gem on our hands.

I thought the same but that was until I read that teams need to have 5 of the same players from their starting 11 as the previous match.
For those who don't know he is 16 and a little bit younger than Ampadu. Would be great if he got a couple of minutes this evening.

Zenith. You may be confusing the League Cup with the Checkatrade Trophy. It's the Checkatrade where that rule comes in and the clubs in the bottom two tiers can still break those rules, like my club did last season, they just get fined.
Funnily enough, we got fined for resting too many against WBA 'under 23's' while we were out in Austria. That WBA side included Jonas Olsson, Craig Gardner, Callum McManaman and Boaz Myhill đ. Plus, we won!

Warnock played kids/youngsters when he was palace manager.

Got a goal and two assists for Cardiff's Under 18s today
He also spent the week training with the first team, could he get a debut this season? Especially with the fixture congestion that will be coming up soon and the FA Cup which I can't see Warncok taking too seriously

He also scored a hatrick the other day in a 3-0 against Ipswich away.
His dad told me the other day he is training with the first team.
As someone else said before.....Watch this 'Spence'

I bet his dad must be so proud of him. Looks like we've got some very strong talent coming through the ranks soon. |

Would be great if he gets his chance this season, mostly likely in the FA cup. If Cardiff get a straight forward winnable home tie in the 3rd round draw then he may well get on the pitch.

Spence scored his second hat trick of the season against Millwall last Saturday and is in to double figures from midfield for Cardiff's academy despite having only turned 17 a month ago, another promising youngster by the looks of things
Unlikely he'll get in the Cardiff team due to how well they're playing at the moment, but he could get a game in the Cup if Colin focuses on the league

Spence is clearly good enough for the DVP team (and played for them plenty of times last season). But after a glut of player releases their DVP team is a strange entity this year. Countless times they have played 5, YES 5!!, trial players. Must be a very unsettled team to play for at present and you one hope that this is a temporary transitional state. Back to Spence. Bellamy is managing their u18s so you would hope that age group is benefiting from his mentorship. Spence has also taken up more Bellamy-esque positions on the pitch this year, rather than the deeper centre mid positions from last year, so you would hope there is direct education with Bellamy. Sion looks to have filled out a bit in the last year and looks as if he can hold his own strength wise (some nice streetwise rugby style hand offs in recent footage which I always like to see from young players). Hopefully that will be the case when he gets thrown in with adult players. |

Hopefully that will be the case when he gets thrown in with adult players. Thee's been some debate about this on a Cardiff forum, some think he should be playing in the DVP team due to to (perceived) higher standards whilst others think he's better off with the U18s I think a lot of clubs are seeing DVP football as a waste of time and are using it for trialists and injured first teamers, as well as a smattering of teenagers which creates a disjointed team, which isn't good for anyone so U18s football could be the way to go, with Sion an integral part of the team and taking on more responsibility |

I'm praying Cardiff can do the business and do it early so Sion can get his debut in the last game of the season as he was supposed to last year. Also perhaps Coxe should be in with a shout. Cardiff need to be smarter with raising the profile of their players so as to earn the loans in the future.
Also think the Sion should have the 55 on the back of his shirt as it looks like his initials...

Should be looking at playing development level over youth level as it is a step up.
Maybe a loan spell next season maybe at his home town club in the Welsh Premiership.
Unfortunately, few players make it through the academy and ultimately he could end up there.
No chance of a game at Cardiff next year

No chance of a game at Cardiff next year You can make a good case for him being better off with Bellamy in the u18s this year. Cardiff's DVP are a mess for the short term. He also has strapping on his knees in some games and has had a growth spurt in the last year or so, so the consensus may be to ease him in to more physical football. I don't think a loan to the WPL is a good idea. |

You may be right there but by playing for Barry he could still benefit by training with Cardiff.
Any decent 18 year old needs to be playing senior football and he won't get that at Cardiff

If this guy has half the talent people say he has.... Those who watch regular youth football are really excited "Best since Ramsey" is what they say If Cardiff weren't pushing for promotion he, along with Coxe & Harris, would have gotten some gametime, he's got a ridiculous number of goals from midfield A loan to League 2 next season perhaps? He's only 17 though |

League 2 isn't much better than Welsh premier if at all.
Also would he get a gamea somewhere like Chesterfield.
If he was anywhere near Ramsey's standard surely even Warlock might pick him

I'm quite sure that David Brooks had a stint with a non-league club, as have the likes of Allen, Lampard etc. in the past. So a loan in the Welsh prem wouldn't neccessairily be a bad idea

If he was anywhere near Ramsey's standard surely even Warlock might pick him I don't agree with this. I would say there's a clear gulf between League two and the Welsh Premier. Have a look at some of the clubs near the top end: Coventry, Swindon, Exeter, Wycombe, Luton and even Newport. These would probably win the Welsh Premier without too much effort. |

Overall it is better but if those sides where in the Welsh league they wouldn't have the same budget. Several wpl teams would be competitive in that league Also as ever no-one comments on Why Spence is nowhere near the team whilst comparing him to Ramsey. |
