Top Youngsters Around The World

[Sion]

After reading this wonderfully funny (in hindsight) thread from Redcafe that's nearly 6 years old

 

http://www.redcafe.net/showthread.php?t=30449 (Welsh, FSP, Le Tallec, Pennant and Cisse all top 20 but no mention of Agger/Mascherano/Alonso)

 

Who would you tip to be the next big thing? I rate these youngsters.

 

Top Bunch - I.E IMO someting would have to go seriously wrong for them not to become greats, unfortunately, I think Anderson is brilliant.

 

Samir Nasri - Marseille

Micah Richards - Man City

Anderson - Man Utd

Alexandre Pato - Milan

 

2nd Bunch - I'm unsure whether they can cut it at the very top level or not

Diaby - Arsenal

Denilson - Arsenal

Sergio Aguero - A.Madrid - Didn't have a great season for A.Madrid, but showed a lot of promise in the youth WC, albeit against poor teams

Lucas - Liverpool

Nedum Onuoha - Man City

Raúl García - A.Madrid

Agbonlahor - A.Villa

Ryan Babel - Liverpool

 

3rd Bunch - Look very promising, not seen enough to properly rate them or are a bit young though

 

Taarabt - Spurs

Daniel Sturridge - Man City

Scott Sinclair - Chelsea

Emiliano Insúa - Liverpool/Boca Juniors

Giovanni Dos Santos - Barcelona

Armand Traoré - Arsenal

Michael Johnson - Man City - Man City's academy really is brilliant

Fran Mérida - Arsenal

Bojan Krkic - Barcelona

 

I admit I've seen little of the last 2, but going on what I have and the recommendation of a Barce fan, they're supposed to be the bogs dollocks.

 

If someone bumps this list up in 5 years time, no doubt there's a big chance I will look very stupid/more stupid than normal.

I didn't say it was a definitive list! you can suggest your own players. I haven't a clue about how good any of the youngsters Rafa has bought this summer are. I don't particularly rate Walcott that highly, and Bale is nothing Special IMO.

[_00_deathscar]

Emiliano Insua will go on to become a top full back for Liverpool.

[RedNik]

Dos Santos in Barcelona.... reckon he'll be in that first list pretty soon.

[_00_deathscar]

I hear Man City wanted Krkic on a year loan.

[Sion]

I'm really impressed with their academy, it's producing a great line of youngsters. Shame they'll probably dry up now the big money has come in.

[RedNik]

I hear Man City wanted Krkic on a year loan.

 

Would he play much though? - he's what 17 years old?

 

Barcelonas academy is just stunning. Seems like Rafa is putting in place that sort of system, where we collect a lot of young talent and develop them.

Someone's been playing Football Manager a bit too much. Also, "Bojan" and "Krcic" are the same player.

[oran]

bojan!!! this kid is playing like his from another planet!unless something very bad happands (sp) to him,he will be a monster of a goal scorer.

also expect dos-santos to break through until next year.these two were very very impressive in barca`s pre season.

also think richards is an excellent prospect.would very much like for us to get him.

assulin from barca is also very highly regarded.saw very very little of him,but he is very fast with the ball,reminds messi.

also some one never gets mentioned is david moreno from real.the boy is special and regarded as raul`s succsesor (sp).

also,even though he is just an internet myth right now,i dont think people can deny that nikon jevtic looks unreal.there are things that you can be sure he has even though its on youtube.would be very interesting to see what comes out of him.

If memory serves our very own Maldini was involved in some of the research that went into preparing that list. Obviously he's the one who spotted Kaka.
