They've been getting some good results recently haven't they?

Just saw this. God that is a rogue section. Might suggest he is a promising player though?

He's 26! Way past promising now.

Kai Andrew’s is going to be a good player for us. If we’re in the Champ next season he’s got he in and around out the squad.

Speak for yourself! I’m 33. Reckon my England call up is coming soon!

I doubt it

Nice positive outlook from you there on a young player....

Meanwhile, the manager of his country had this to say:

Andrews a 'high-potential' player, says Bellamy​

Andrews is the only uncapped player in the squad and, given Wales' limited options in midfield, he might get an opportunity to play.
"I watched his games with the under-19s," said Bellamy. "Physically [Andrews is impressive], but also his ability to look after the ball.
"There's plenty of habits that need improving, but with young players that's understandable. I've always liked working with young players.
"At Anderlecht we gave debuts at 16, so it's quite normal. I see him as a high-potential player in an area we need quality.
"He's maybe a bit more fast-tracked than is usually the case in international football, but he's in an area we need to strengthen."

Even if he only gets to train with the squad, it's still great experience for the lad, and is recognition of the hard work he and the club have put in.

Bellamy is no mug and clearly sees the talent in him. Great potential. Championship is a million miles away from u19s football, but apparently stood out against Rangers recently which is more equivalent to Championship.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

well rather than slag him off ill just say well done Kai.

 

[Tommo1993]

Congratulations to him, he must be buzzing.

He's not a very good judge of a player, he said the same thing about Maddison.

I doubt it

At 18 played at Ibrox in a winning side. Motherwell fans saying he is class.

Agree with all that apart from Bellamy is no mug part

 

[long way home]

He is definitely making the right impressions with people who have influence in the game. Not many kids get this chance at full international level, so it shows he is developing as a young player. Wish the lad well for Wales and hope he gets more minutes while impressing in Scotland. Anyone who doesn't want this doesn't understand the benefit to the club or what it gives the player involved.

Great for the lad, he will be better for the experience in all aspects.

 

[GC1976]

Premier League clubs probably taking notice on him now with the call up. Thanks Craig Bellamy that’s but a few quid on his market value if we decide to cash him in early which wouldn’t be a bad gamble!

 

[Nick]

Fair play to him, wonder if Lampard will want to get him back and have a better look pre-season if Allen is going?

 

[rob9872]

The next Gareth Bale hopefully

While I’m happy to share your optimism on Kai Andrews, I’m afraid I have to insist that Craig Bellamy is indeed a mug.
