The Youngsters

[New York Red]

My friend in Boston has retired and seems to have massive amounts of time on his hands. He sent me a list of young players that he thinks will be successful in the future. I've heard of a few of them and googled a few, but I was wondering if any of you rated any of them. They aren't all really up-and-comers, but I know little about all of them.

 

Hass, I know you are going to be a b*****d about this, so just ignore. 

 

Leon Bailey (Leverkusen)

Maxwel Cornet (Lyon)

Kasper Dolberg (Ajax)

Fred Friday (AZ)

Frenkie de Jong (Ajax)

Ibrahima Konate (Leipzig)

Matthijs de Ligt (Ajax)

Hirving Lozano (PSV)

Adrien Rabiot (PSG)

Jordan Sancho (Dortmund)

Modibo Sagnan (Lens)

Ibrahima Sarr (Rennes)

Malang Sarr (Nice)

EDIT: Fred Friday is actually real.

Weird list! Rabiot is 23 and has played almost 150 games.

 

Fred Friday is also 23, but he has a really good name, so I"ll forgive him.

He's a weird guy and one of my oldest friends. Huge weed smoker, Harvard Business School graduate, and currently b*ggering around with a tiny landscaping business.

He's such a great mate, but a few weeks ago I thought we were going to have to check him in. He got on a jag of sending me a text every minute for days at a time telling me Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Toots, Sly & Robbie, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Grateful Dead, and Rolling Stones songs. One after the other. It was rough, love him.

I’m not sure that’s a problem, maybe he was texting you his performance poetry, or maybe he needed to express himself somehow.

Nah. He was imbalanced. His missus is a shrink. She sorted it out.

That's just a copy of a list of best youngsters in FIFA 18 or something.

[Falconhoof]

I thought that Phil, but he’s a Harvard business school graduate and NYR deffo didn’t copy and paste that list himself

You're onto something. Linton Kwesi Johnson was the outlier there. That's the key.
