Or will Hughes go with his heart.... Ched is Welsh, Hughes is Welsh so you have to wonder if he''d rather send him to Cardiff  or here.

Appreciate what you''re saying.  However, there is no love lost between Hughes and Toshack concerning Wales and Ched is very much a Toshack man.  Hughes only concentrated on the senior team during his time as international manager and did nothing towards youth development - he left both an ageing team and no structure whatsoever for bringing through young talent.  Know it won''t be Toshack''s decision where Ched goes but I wouldn''t assume it will be Cardiff just because he''s Welsh.  Both Hughes and Ched are from North Wales - there is history of previous Welsh teams where players from the north didn''t get on with the ones from the south.  Mind you, these days, with the all the boys coming out of England, via Welsh grandparents, that shouldn''t come into it.   Think it''s a case of wait and see.

In addition, if Hughes thought (for arguements sake) Norwich and Roeder could develop Evans as a player more so than Cardiff, then Wales as a country would benefit more so than simply sending the lad to Cardiff just because it''s in Wales.

Plus of course I assume a certain Mark Bowen is still Hughes''s number 2 now he has moved to City and they did let us have Richters whilst at Blackburn so we must have some links there.
