Cardiff down to 10 men now. Looks like he’s moved up front? 

Playing as a second striker/AM on the left now, getting involved in the press/block when Plymouth have the ball rather than staying up top as an outlet

And Cardiff have conceded as I type that

Re-read what you've just written and tell me any part of it that would provide any sort of platform for a young pro to try and establish themselves at first team level. The entire club is toxic. He'd get 20 mins at a push, in a side bereft of confidence and lost for how to score.

 

Or you send him on loan, where he's becoming a central part of Cardiff's attacking line, getting consistent games and starting to produce output, whilst gaining confidence in his ability. 

I’ve stated he should be starting or getting significant game time for us. I stand by that.  It’s only Leicester that doesn’t expose our young creative players to first team action. Southampton have played Dibling all season and he’s looked exceptional in a poor team. It’s not damaged his career one bit, he’s enhanced his reputation despite playing in a side equally as bad as ours. 
 

As for being toxic have you followed the fortunes of Cardiff over the last decade? He’s now getting game time at a club equally as ‘toxic’ as ours. 
 

Alves is good enough to get significant game time in this Leicester City team this season. His presence in the team would’ve been seen as entirely positive by the crowd and he has the ability and self confidence to back up that positivity. This is not a K-Mac situation, this is a player who has been oustanding at every level and always played above his age group. The fact he hasn’t been given a chance and now won’t this season is a failing of Ruud and the club.

This is all good “money in the bank” for Will. The 10 men situation, changing positions, coming off the bench, starting games, still plenty more to come too. When approving a loan, matching the right club to the player is crucial, it seems Cardiff are a good fit, not desperate enough to gift him a  key role from day 1 but letting him earn his place against his competition and keep it if he impresses. It seems like he’ll be getting plenty of football between now and the end of the season and as we know the Championship throws up opponents of all different shapes and sizes, he left us a boy and will return as a man.

He will be sold so we can bring in Andros Townsend on a two year pension top-up.

Interesting that Cardiff have played him RW, always thought he was a LW. Him and Fatawu could be devastating next season on either wing!

He’s played both so far for them. When he came on at Portsmouth he was on the left. Last 2 games he’s started v Bristol City on the left then was moved to the right, yesterday he started on the right.

He looks more natural on the left for me.

He’s that good he can play, left, right or centrally. Just a shame he’s not had the opportunities at his home town club yet. We’ll probably get to see him for one season in the championship before he gets poached by a club that we should not be selling our best players to. A club like Palace, Brentford or dirty Leeds.

"Will Alves took a whack on his knee against Plymouth and it swelled up. We’re managing that and hopefully that’s not too serious"

 

Hopefully back next match, these kind of knocks are good test for his knee in all honesty
