Not content with prising Aaron Ramsey away from the club before he'd played a season's football - with Cardiff City's hierarchy accepting a ridiculous £4.8M fee and no sell on clauses for a player whose worth looks many time more that already - it is being reported that Arsenal are preparing for a similar bid for Adam Matthews in the forthcoming January transfer window.
The 17 year old has had an astonishing rise after not even having a first team squad number last term. He has now completed 12 Championship games, is keeping established players out of the team, has scored from the halfway line, has a long throw that causes problems and is exciting when he joins attacks, is regarded as a key member of our defence and linked up with the Wales full squad for the 3-0 weekend bashing of Scotland to acclimatise him for the future even though he is yet to feature for the Under 21's.
It's therefore inevitable that he will catch the eye. He certainly has the potential and ability to join a top Premiership outfit although Cardiff City fans will hope, for once, we get to enjoy some time with one of our Academy boys instead of lsoing one again at the first signs of interest.
