Cardiff City's inability to buy low and sell high has been a real flaw in their financial strategy in recent years.
Clubs like Swansea City, just down the road, continue to stave off mountainous debt by selling players of high value each year before replacing them with relatively inexpensive youngsters with potential, in the hope they will go on to net millions in the years to come.
Examples of that happening at Cardiff City Stadium, though, have been all too rare. But, for the first time in a long time, Cardiff now look as though they do have some young assets who could potentially be worth a decent wedge of cash with a good season or two of Championship football under their belts.
