Everton prospect that has actually gone backwards to due the lack of trust shown in him by David Moyes.

So I got a beta code for Company of Heroes 2 today from Eurogamer, anyone want it?
Suso is Spanish but he is talking about young players in Britain, not young British players.
Nathaniel Clyne and Wilfred Zaha look promising. So do Nick Powell, Neil Taylor (he might be over 20 though), and Oscar. Gaston Ramirez is still only 20 afaik
Dave Jones is assisting that backwards progression at the moment, I can assure you.
We were shamed. Like in a-

Sterling is only 17, that is pretty crazy when you think about it. :lol So much better than Downing.

But how good will he be when he can't get any sleep due to babbies?

Hey theres only one honduran asshole in here, and it isnt me
Lol Downing gets so much shit it's amazing. Sure he's making great money now and gets to say he's a Liverpool player but in footballing terms being bought by LFC was terrible for his career. He looks toothless. He was great for Villa.
I don't know man. I want to like him, but for some reason I just can't. Everytime I watch City play Dzeko just seems so utterly useless outside of the penalty box. Sometimes he reminds me - blasphemy, I know - of Matri. :/
We'll see. Hopefully our lacking performance against Fiorentina was a one-off and not the start of a rough patch.

Can't believe I forgot Oscar, Zaha and Powell. All 3 are between good and great already. Zaha could be amazing if he can get some game intelligence instilled in him
Clyne has been unimpressive imo. No offense 3Sixty
Downing seems like he thinks he's had a good game if he hasn't lost the ball, even if he provides nothing in attack. That's just about acceptable for Allen when he's playing DM, its fucking useless for a winger though

Bukkake would have solved all of this
Oh, I see. Mmm... well I really like Suso type of players and Yesil must be in that list. Sterling looks incredible talented tho, but right now my favorite winger is Ox.
He looks shit in FIFA 13
there's some black (african I think) kid in Man City reserves who looks way better than him and I think he plays as CAM tooThe_Hitcher89

I've seen nothing of Suarez really, only a couple of sub appearances (for Suso, funnily enough)
Its odd how Sterling's been so good, yet he hasn't come close to scoring or provided any great chances aside from Borini's volley against Arsenal
@elsk. that's Yaya Toure you idiot

They got rid of Kermit and they tried getting rid of me
so now, as you say, they fight amongst themselves! Yeah he is a little clumsy with the ball at his feet. But like I posted the other week, City scored something like 12 goals with him on the pitch and only 2 without him.

He's already been around for long enough that I always think he's near his prime,soI need constant reminders that he's only 19
How's that Birmingham winger doing, the one we were linked with in the summer?
Honestly if I were making a list I think I'd have at least 6 Liverpool U21 players:
Shelvey, Suso, Sterling, Robinson, Wisdom and Yesil
But it's easy to point out people from the club you support since you're familiar with them. I want to say that Robinson and Wisdom, for example, are some of the best young fullbacks, but that'd be very short-sided.
What about that ginger kid from Newcastle? He's pretty highly rated though probably not old enough to really give an indicator of his potential.

Last night, our £2m winger was bombing down the wing like a mad hoor and beating his man. Downing? Gets the ball, jogs down the wing, turns round, passes to Coates.
Sterling got an assist for Suarez' goal, via Bramble.

Yep, I used to like Downing at Middlesborough, when Cattermole was there too. Downing made the wrong choice going to Liverpool. Not like he could have known how things turned out though so you can't really blame him.
To think Aston Villa had Milner, Young, Downing, Barry, etc in recent years. They were all good there, or at least looked good. Now I see them all as relatively average players(except for Milner, every team needs an engine that doesn't stop running
)Alex Nemane came on for his City U18 debut against Fulham. He scored 2 goals, he is 14 years old and from Manchester

Adnan Janujaz tbh.
"Pass forward, like this."
We should AT LEAST score two goals against Barceroma, surely we aren't THAT sterile up front...
I'd love to see us try a 'Vidal - Pogba/Asamoah - Marchisio' once!

He does have an assist to his name, I can't remember which goal it was though. Regardless, we only have like 2 goals from open play this season, so Sterling hasn't really been able to get a ton of assists or goals.
He'll definitely have his chances over the next few weeks.

Cheers for that link, only seen the BBC highlights. The Sterling 'assist' was an average cross tbf
Nope, Alex Nemane. The next BIG thing.
am I doing this right? United fan's know how to big up young players.
Clyne has been unimpressive imo. No offense 3Sixty
Been a mixed bag tbh. Obviously everyone remembers United slip, but he was fantastic against Villa and in pre-season. He'll be a very good right back in the future. Will certinally be at fault for more goals this season, but thats young defenders for you.
As for Zaha, don't think he has the attitude to make the top level

Oh sweet you did win! I was going to ask but my phone died :/ How much?

Assiaidai was really good last night. Wouldn't look out of place in the first team. Sorry Wessilj

Nathan Redmond? I watched him play the other day (can't remember who against) and he looked good. Lightning quick!

I'm not saying he'll be great, but I'll be very disappointed and surprised if he's not better than Messi by the time he's 22. That's how you hype young players
Cheers Suso, it was Redmond
Nathan Redmond?
Looks a decent prospect. Not quite sure he's on the same plane as some of the other players named in the thread though. I'd rank Tom Ince above him right now, to be honest.

You have to believe and be willing to stick your neck out.
For example.
MUFC Team Circa 2020.
De God
Rafael-Jones-Smalling-Fabio
Lingard-Cleverley-Janujaz-Daehli
Welbeck-HENRIQUEZ
Subs - Johnstone, Anderson, Rooney, Kagawa, Giggs, Scholes.

Recommend me a few ones
Benteke! and Gardner are probably the two most promising young players. Maybe Weimann.
8 years is too much. Except for Giggs, 99% of these players might not be at the team come 2020.

He'll be at Madrid by then after winning 5 consecutive Balon d'Or awards.
