The Wonderkid Thread

Right everyone, this is a thread for everyone to discuss and even post vids of the next up and coming talents in world football.
I'll get the ball rolling, with Argie international Javier Pastore. this kid is really promising. Already being called "the new Kaka". Plays for Palermo in Italy and had a very impressive start last season with some great games in a weakened team.

Who does everyone else have to look out for

 

Always sign him on football manager, turns out to be a cracking player,

one i consider a wonderkid is Eduardo Salvio, also from Argentina

Salvio is class man Also really good for him to be learning from Aguero and Forlan at Altletico. I look out for him alright.

 

Pedro Rodriguez Ledesma(Barcelona) and Thomas Muller(Bayern Munich) , they are both around 20-21 and are 2 of my favourite players at the moment , after watching Pedro all season for Barca I was so impressed how he burst onto the scene and put in amazing performances against quality opposition , the same has to be said for Muller , this was his first season in competitive football (I think?), and he played almost every game for Bayern and put in some wonderful performances at the world cup eventually winning the golden boot.

great idea for a thread

 

Super Mario Balotelli!

I watched an Inter game when he was 17 and loved the lad ever since!

Arrogant wee * but what a talent! Took a shocking amount of stick in Italy due to being black, it's disgusting! They were protesting that he shouldn't be able to represent Italy because he is not a "true Italian" as he's black!! There is even a chant that Chievo, Juventus and Roma fans shout which translated says "If you jump up and down Mario Balotelli dies"! And so they start doing the bouncy bouncy!

He's just gone to Man City but I wish he would have went to Arsenal as he would be ideal for their formation and would score an absolute ton!

my favourite video of him is here!

Fantastic! I just took heart to the guy when I first seen him but others probz just remember him for the fact he fell out with Mourinho and when he wouldn't track back against Barca in the champs league and threw his shirt on the floor after the whole stadium started booing him!

There are two ways he could end up:

1) Be like Antonio Cassano and never mature and just settle for second best.

2) Or be like Wayne Rooney who learned to control himself and is now one of the greatest players in the world!

I pray it's the latter!

PS. Great idea for a thread mate I am always interested in the new up and coming kids !!

 

Good post, totally agree, he is a super player hopefully he changes his attitude. Also wish he went to arsenal would of been more noticed there

 

Im good mates with a few people who are hardcore Inter men and even they said that he is just a big * *. He plays the race card all the time and is so immature for a pro and personally I cant stand the wee *. But the abuse he gets is over the score its just that sometimes he does bring some of it upon himself. And Cassano's career has turned big time now at Samp, he is back to his best these days.

 

Like I said before, I took heart to the guy and love him. He's only young and has made some silly decisions but personally I have never seen someone so publicly criticised at such a young age. I think if there were 3000 people singing a song about wanting me to die it would slightly agitate me and I think that is partly the reason he does some stuff that he will hopefully regret in the future.
The partnership he had with Totti is the best thing I have ever seen and if he would have stayed at Roma I honestly think they could have been the greatest attacking side ever! Totti, Cassano and Batistuta just makes my mouth water!
As for Cassano I will always look at him as such a waste of talent. He could have been the best player to ever come out of Italy and thats no exaggeration!
Don't get me wrong the man is a genius and always will be but the player he could have been is a lot different to the player he has become. And he is still living the lifestyle like he did in his Madrid days. Last season he was injured for a month and put on two stone due to still eating * and drinking without doing any exercise! Just fustrates me tbh! I pray to * Balotelli doesn't follow in his footsteps.

 

Ah sure to each their own mate. And there's no way im disputing his talent, the guy is a class act who im sure will rip up the Prem but I cannot stand him as a person I just find him to be very annoying and immature.
I know and they did get the one league title out of it but they could have been much more. I love him though as a player. Hes a madman off the pitch but if Italy had him at the WC if Lippi wasnt so stubborn things might not have been so bad.
But him and Pazzini up front at Samp is one of the best strikeforces in the world and rightly got them into the CL with their goals. Cant wait to see more of them this year.

 

SORTED.

Romelu Lukaku, Anderlecht.

Had his debut season last year as a 16 year old and became the Belgian top scorer with 15 goals in 25 appearances.

Mental.

 

Granit Xhaka (FC Basel) if he can control his head...

 

jose baxter from everton

 

Filip Ozobić from Spartak Moscow and Croatia U-19. He was one of 10 players that FIFA presented as future stars. Similar to Modrić in terms of physical build, face(except hair) and playing position. He got called to train with Spartak's first team. Maybe he and McGeady will get to cooperate.

 

The ones who mentioned Salvio, Atletico is thinking of selling him because he was a disappointment last season, coach considers him as a expendable... though I don't think they are going to sell him, las season was his season to adapt spanish league, now he has to show what he is made off

Edit: in fact i´ve just read some news, Atleti offered Salvio two choices, stay at the team until January without chances of playing because Atleti has problems of foreign players (one extra) and in this case Salvio shall be the one who gets sacrificed, so he will see no action in league, and the other choice is to go in a lend to other team

 

Two excellent players I have came across playin in Serie A.
Antonio Candreva and Alexis Sanchez off Udinese. Brilliant players. Candreva is solid in the middle and was loaned to Juve for 6 months last year and Sanchez is a really fast skilful Chilean forward. Really good. Candreva is 23 and Sanchez is 22 so still quite young.
