Yeah, Paloschi might become pretty good if he overcomes his injuries. The hope is that he stops growing higher and that his body is not going to suffer from it (someone, maybe in Milan Lab, will have to give an explanation for his late growth).

Paloschi is horrible. He misses far too many chances for being called the new pippo. He has a below average technique and first touch. Yes he scores at times as he did it in Parma but look at his misses too, mind boggling.

For FCB I'd say

U23 and then U20:

Andreu Fontas
Rubén Miño
(apart from Busquets, Bojan and Pedro who are almost household names and then Jeffren who scored the 5-0 goal against moudrid but with all his injuries alas)
Thiago Alcantara
Sergi Roberto
Oriol Romeu
Gerard Deulofeu
Marc Muniesa
Rafinha
Martin Montoya
Marc Bartra

Jean Marie Dongou is the name to lookout for in the future.

Top 5 Portugal teenagers off the top of my head.

1 - Sergio Oliviera (18) - CM - Porto: The youngest player to ever take the field for Porto in their history last season at the age of 17, and instantly a huge buyout clause was put on him by the management. Sergio is a technically brilliant midfielder.

2 - Bruma (16) - ATT - Sporting: The youngest player at the u/17 championships, Bruma is another gem from Sporting's greatly lauded academy. Being a winger from Sporting's academy, Bruma is inevitably going to be compared to predecessors such as Figo and Ronaldo, but Bruma deserves the Ronaldo comparison, as he is just as powerful.

3 - Tobias Figueiredo (18) - DEF - Sporting: Captain of the u/17 team during a recent tournament, Tobias is a silky centre back who is getting a lot of attention for his performances. Is rumoured to have an agreement to join Man City.

4 - Nélson Oliveira (18) - ATT - Benfica: Been a household name for his clubs youth team and national youth teams for a while, Nelson is one of Portugal's biggest hopes at finally fulfilling the #9 position. Currently on-loan, Nelson is an all round centre forward.

5 - Toni Silva (17) - ATT - Liverpool: Signed by Liverpool for roughly 300,000 euros from Benfica after beating the likes of Chelsea for his signature, Toni is a typical Iberian winger who can play on both sides and is powerful in the air too due to his height. The skillful left footed winger can be frustrating at times, but the talent is evident.

Argentina (U-20)
3. Juan Iturbe (Cerro Porteno); 17 years old winger

I literally can not wait for him to join Porto. I've never anticipated a player as much at a team more than Iturbe.

Hulk is going to be impossible to replace, but Iturbe will bring his own style.

Can you just imagine James Rodriguez on one wing and Joan Iturbe on the other? :cool:

In Spain.
Two of those three started the World Cup finals. And all 3 have won everything that there is to win at club level.

Guys can grow in height until they are 21. Seldom much that late though.

I'd rather do a top 11 list of both age groups, not rated in particular order. DENMARK

20-23 Years of age
Nicklas Bendtner (Arsenal FC)
Mathias "Zanka" Jørgensen (FC Copenhagen)
Simon Kjær (Wolfsburg)
Daniel Wass (Brøndby IF
Thomas Enevoldsen (FC Groningen)
Andreas Bjelland (FC Nordsjælland)
Michael Lumb (FC Zenit Saint Petersburg/Aab)
Nicki Bille (Villarreal)
Mike Jensen (Brøndby IF)
Jens Stryger Larsen (Brøndby IF)
Nikola Saric (Liverpool FC)

Under 20 years of age
Christian Eriksen (Ajax Amsterdam)
Erik Sviatchenko (FC Midtjylland)
Frederik Sørensen (Juventus FC)
Jannik Vestergaard (TSG Hoffenheim)
Nicolai Jørgensen (Bayer Leverkusen)
Nicolai Boilesen (Ajax Amsterdam)
Bashkim Kadrii (OB)
Rasmus Falk (OB)
Thomas Delaney (FC Copenhagen)
Kenneth Zohore (FC Copenhagen)
Victor Fischer (FC Midtjylland)
David Boysen (Lyngby BK)
Kevin Mensah (Viborg FF)

OVERALL TOP 5
1. Christian Eriksen (Ajax Amsterdam)
2. Nicklas Bendtner (Arsenal FC)
3. Simon Kjær (Wolfsburg)
4. Mathias "Zanka" Jørgensen (FC Copenhagen)
5. Kenneth Zohore (FC Copenhagen)

I'm not really sure about this top 5. I don't feel that Bendtner deserves to be rated as #2. Neither does any other come to mind.
I might edit this in the near future :)

1993
Romelu LUKAKU (Anderlecht, F)

1991
Kevin DE BRUYNE (KRC Genk, F)
Eden HAZARD (Lille, F)

1990
Dedryck BOYATA (Man City, D)
Yassine EL GHANASSY (La Gantoise, F)

1989
Toby ALDERWEIRELD (Ajax, D)
Nacer CHADLI (Twente, F)
Jelle VOSSEN (KRC Genk, F)
Axel WITSEL (Standard, M)

1988
Steven DEFOUR (Standard, M)
Simon MIGNOLET (Sunderland, G)

1987
Moussa DEMBELE (Fulham, F)
Marouane FELLAINI (Everton, M)
Jonathan LEGEAR (Anderlecht, F)
Jan VERTONGHEN (Ajax, 1987)

1986
Vincent KOMPANY (Man City, D)

Belgium never had such of collection of talents, and that's excluding players above 25, some of them at top clubs already and/or in their prime. With the positive spirit Leekens implemented within the NT, I have no doubt we will qualify for Euro 2012 over Turkey.
