Thumbheed Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Was convinced Adama Traore would be world class once his end product came. His end product never came. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infatuation Junkie Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I was watching Swindon town v Coventry many years ago when James Milner was there on loan. Literally stood out like a slapped arse. By far the fastest and most passionate player on the field. Said after the game that this kid was going to make the big time. i wasn’t wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw Iniesta play in that tournament at New Ferens Park in Durham and he was amazing, followed his career ever since. To become a world cup winning goalscorer and one of the best midfielders of all time was incredible to watch for me and my dad who saw him aged 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Seemed like on average 3 players per squad went on to have a career at pro level. Really interesting how the success rate is so low for the players who are able to make their national squad at 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 TTA. Think he is a very rare talent with the ball. Has decent pace and strength too. Can’t understand why he isn’t a better defender. Must all be in the top 2 inches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Not world class but I rember seeing a very young and relatively unknown Paul Merson play for Arsenal in a indoor Soccer 6 tournament live on TV and thought he looked brilliant. Shame he didn’t have any off field discipline as he had a great footballing brain and physically very good. Also remember watching Marcelino play for us against Alnwick Town thinking I could’ve run rings round him bad finger or not 😆 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
