Guest Heneage Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I think people are forgetting the 15-19 bit Ok If I was to suggest two. Stefano Okaka of Roma, and Fernando Forestri of Udinese, both young Italians, Nando is dual Argentine nationality, so would fit in well with Jonas/Colo, and both have damn good potential.

Guest Can Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Emilio Nsue López (Mallorca) i saw him in the u19s last year looked like a great talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo_11 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Mamadou Sakho - I saw him play in the U17 Championships and he stood out a mile. The through googling him a year later I read that he was PSG captain at just 17/18. He is probably too good for us in our current state, but he has massive potential. A powerful header, danger from set pieces and ability to read the game as well as playing both left back and centre back. Thibault Bourgeois - In the same game as Sakho he was one of the best players on the park. He is currently at FC Metz (until 2010) who were relegated to Ligue 2 last season and scored on his debut. A midfielder who can deliver well from set pieces as well as possessing some pace and passing ability. Gökhan Töre - A Turkish/German player who appeared for Turkey (captained U17s) in the recent U17 Championships and was pivotal to a successful tournament. He is a left footed midfielder who is at Leverkusen. He has an excellent delivery of the ball and dribbling ability. Abdülkadir Kayalı - Another player who stood out, with his range of passing and tackling ability, in his defensive midfielder role during the tournament, but has attracted interest from Chelsea recently. Edit: After as quick search it turns out he has recently signed for Fenerbahce from Ankaragucu. Danijel Aleksić - Someone I have heard and read about for being prolific with the Serbian youth teams (has appeared for the full national side now). He is attracting interest from Partizan and Red Star. He plays for Vojvodina. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/7861618.stm Chelsea have signed Gökhan Töre.

Considered to be the natural successor to Jay Jay Okocha.

Currently at Hamburg Dele Adeleye http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/1967/deleadeleyeir2.jpg Very powerful young defender from my hometown club, Ibadan Shooting Stars. Went to the Olympics to mix with the older players, and was definitely one of the standout. Has reportedly already attracted Premier League interest. Currently at Sparta. O'Brian White http://assets.espn.go.com/photo/2008/0829/ncaa_white_412.jpg Don't think he'll ever quite make it at this level, but he went to the same university I am at, and I got to know him a bit. Just drafted by Toronto Fc. There's also a very tall and powerful 18 year old Nigerian cenreback at that same university, who goes by the by the pseudonym, "babatunde", and has plenty of "Black Power". He's a very clumsy player who collects many many cards, but I think Newcastle (or any other club in Europe) should give him a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooneyToonArmy Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I guess the subsequent posters decided to ignore the op`s question for 15-19 year old players then ....so will i with this one River Plate - Diego Buonanotte Udinese - Alexis Sanchez Savio - the guy West Ham just signed looks a fantastic prospect for the future but big price tag might affect him Kerlon Moura Souza Similar to Conca. He's more for that touch of magic than someone who will put in a reasonable shift every week. 5 years younger than Conca and just moved to Europe playing for Chievo. So we can monitor him in a decent standard of league and still have an opportunity to tempt him away from his club if he turns out to do the business. hardly played a game for Chievo, 1 to be exact, constantly injured(and pretty much has been since a Brazilian player completely took him out of the game for trying his 1 trick seal dribble......

eaststar Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Your brothers Old Type? Yes, all South Koreans, all 50 million of them, are related. So how's your bro Mike Ashley doing? If you believe the korean media, Man U are after Ki. Ki studied high school in Brisbane so I assume he speaks decent English as well. As to Tahj Minnecon, he's ok but still very very raw. Still, put him around a good coaching staff and players and he has potential. I really can't put a finger on a player in the A-League at this stage who I think would set the Premier League alight. Scott Jamieson of Adelaide United might be worth a look. He plays left back and has been easily the best left back in the league and in the Asian Champions League. He's still only 20, was a decent prospect with Bolton Wanderers and has a lot of guts and fight about him....he's pretty small though so I don't know if he would ok physically for the Premier League. If we need height there's always our other Adelaide boy Robbie Cornthwaite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two lads who are lighting up South Korea lately. Lee plays wide, more of a wing-forward than a side midfielder. Loves to go on long runs, beat his man, cut in to the box, and cause havok. He's not Lennon-pacy but has great acceleration, control, and supreme confidence. Played for South Korea at the 2007 U20 World Cup and is now a first-team regular in the senior squad. Very Jonas-esque when he's at his best. Apparently there are a bunch of English clubs already looking at him, just waiting for him to pick up a few more caps so he can get a work permit. Ki is a former center-half/defensive midfielder who's been converted to a box-to-box role. His original claim to fame was having a ridiculously accurate long pass: I've honestly never seen any player in a South Korea shirt pass as well as he does. This year he's gone from being a bit one-dimensional DM who just boots the ball forward to a much more mobile player with a great engine and good ball-skills. He's also a big lad with decent defensive instincts. Also played for South Korea at the 2007 U20 World Cup and is now a first-teem regular in the senior squad. I think he's as good as Danny Guthrie now. God knows where he'll be in a few years. They're both 19. I'm a bit biased, but would be great signings for the future imo. hey oldtype, watching korea vs iraq and the lad ki sung-yong looks the part i have to say...big lad and seems able to read the game more than most of his teammates he'll do a job in europe when he gets his move no doubt other lad you mentioned is playing but has been very quiet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSkÃrare Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Rasmus Elm, born in 1988. In the squad for Swedens WC-qualifier against Portugal and scored a wondergoal.. ..on his international debut against Austria. Plays for Kalmar FF who just won the Swedish title, and is the younger brother of Viktor Elm (Heerenveen). He turned down a move to Fulham in January and opted to stay in Sweden to develop further before moving abroad. Lars Lagerbäck says he's "world class off the ball" already.

Would be an excellent signing imo. Sweden gets one big player every 5th year. Larsson, Ljungberg, Zlatan.. Elm is our next big thing. He plays all over midfield. Has a very good eye for the game, good crossing and also the extremely long throw ins, like Delap. He has just made a place in the swedish national teams line up his.

Boss Roy Hodgson had a £2.5m bid for Lallana, 20, rejected last summer but hopes to secure the midfield ace for £1.5m. Saints are £30m in debt and need to sell players to raise funds. http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/sport/250262/Fulham-look-to-Lallana.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
