Good to see that Greece is not mentioned at all.

Vaggelis Mantzios - 20 years old striker of Panionios but West Ham just signed him.

Nikos Tsiolis - 19 years old defencive midfielder of Panionios.

Deniz Baikara - 20 years old forward of Scoda Xanthi. He's Turkish.

Panagiotis Lagos - 18 years old left back and left midfielder of Iraklis.

 

Good to see that Greece is not mentioned at all.

you're right, after providing the old enemy with Nikos Machlas, it's ungrateful of me to forget and abandon you like this

 

To Amos list i would add:

Gkekas from Kalithea. A very good striker was key to beating OSFP in the cup 2 weeks ago. He has been looked at and wanted by all the big clubs in Greece.

and

Agritsis from egalio. He would be at a big club right now if his manager did not want so god damn much for him. A very good striker, can finish very well and is one of the driving forces for egalios attractive attack.

 

Interesting thread. Have to think a bit about this one.
Only one little question; Wally by talents do you mean very good (talented) players or young talented players? Afterall Danny Landzaat is already 28-year old?

 

The problem with this is that if a player has the potential to make it big he is usually playing for a good club or a club in the top flight or in the reserves of the bigger teams.

I see good players from the Dutch league's lower teams but I don't bother to remember their names and its on very late here(like 3am) so I forget. I saw a young player from Ajax(Babel) last night that has some potential but from now on I will note down the names of the smaller clubs talents.


From Russia Greece etc you only get to see them in the CL really as they don't show their leagues here, For example the young keeper of CSKA Moscow impressed me alot but is he already considered big because he plays in the CL?
Brasil, Jadson Dagoberto Renato


Thats all I can be bothered to think of for now. Let me watch out for their names and remember them then I will give you some more

 

I like a lot a player from Estudiantes de La Plate call Sosa, he is playmaker and very stylish.

Lavezzi is a kid from San Lorenzo that is fast as hell and very skillfull, he must get the basket cube from hie head from time to time, but anyway he has a possible great future, I thiink Genoa bought him.

Biglia has everything to be an skill DM a la Redondo, he is from Argentinos Jr. he had a real bad level after an injury last year and i hope Tocalli recover him in the Youth NT, the three are playing in the Sudamericano Sub 20 in Colmbia right now.

From my Boca, I hope pLacio former Banfield take the stair to heaven, he is a great forward, that we will see if he can mange the Boca t-shirt, an dfrom inferiores is another DM (the elegant type too) call Gago, I saw him in several matches in the reserve and if he manteins his level from there in First Division, he can make it grand..

Wally about Barreto, yes I like him alot in the last Sudamericano in 2003, he is a great player, good taste pal...

 

In Romania we can find:

-Mirel Radoi: 23 years old. He´s not so young as others, but this guy is the main gem you can find in the Romanian league. Captain of Steaua Bucharest. Excellent defender who can play as defensive midfielder too. Starter in the NT. Fast, strong and very competitive. He could join Inter Milan at the end of the season.

-Mihaita Plesan: 21 years old. Balanced midfielder of Univ.Craiova, with capacity to attack and to defend. Strong phisically and gifted technically, he scored a wonderful goal vs Germany the past season after some dribblings. Very dangerous on freekicks.

-Andrei Cristea: 20 years old. He´s a versatile striker of Steaua Bucharest. Very fast and brave. Good dribbling. He´s improving his goal sense.

-Daniel Niculae: 22 years old. Strong striker of Rapid Bucharest. Actually he´s the topscorer in the league with 13 goals in 14 games. A true "number 9", but he should improve some aspects yet.

-Adrian Cristea: 21 years old. Offensive midfielder who just joined Dinamo Bucharest from Politehnica Iasi. Very talented and very good technically. Not related with Andrei.

-Andrei Prepelita: 19 years old. Promising midfielder from Arges Pitesti, always a team with good young players. He´s versatile and dangerous in attack. He will join a powerful team soon.


There are other young players like Burdujan, Nicolita, Grigorie, T.Balan, Moti, Lazar, Oprita...who deserve a mention.

 

Nicolita

ese tiene nombre de crack..."la lleva Nicolita, endiablado se saca de encima uno, encara al central lo deja sentado de orto, le sale el arquero y...gooooool, maestro!!!genio!!!! barrilete cosmico! Nicolita el Pibe de ORO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

haha totally....

Pero te diré que uno de los delanteros más prometedores del fútbol rumano (juega en Ucrania) se llama Ciprian Marica (pronuncia Márica).

 

ese la va a tener comlicada....

 

From Serbia, talent #1 right now is Partizan's Simon Vukcevic. He was 18ish last time I checked. He has potential to become the best player of his generation. He is a midfielder.

 

Vaggelis Mantzios - 20 years old striker of Panionios but West Ham just signed him.

Nikos Tsiolis - 19 years old defencive midfielder of Panionios.

Deniz Baikara - 20 years old forward of Scoda Xanthi. He's Turkish.

Panagiotis Lagos - 18 years old left back and left midfielder of Iraklis.

agreed...all of them are great prospects!!

Iraklis, Xanthi, Panionios and Egaleo have many talented youngsters :thmbup:

Patrick Ogunsoto (21 yrs, Nigerian striker) of Ergotelis is also promising

 

Yaya Toure at Metalurh Donetsk. 20-year-old defensive midfielder; tall, quick, strong with a powerful heading ability. He's good on the ball too - a lot like his brother Kolo Toure, just bigger and slightly more forward.

what hope do I have of becoming a good teacher if I need 2 posts to explaing myself properly?!

Yeah I meant talents and also older players who play for smaller clubs but still have a chance of playing and making an impact for a big club soon.

 

In Croatia I would say:

Eduardo Da Silva (Dinamo Zagreb): 21 years old. He was born in Brazil but moved to Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb at the age of 16. He is a forward, amazing player, good pace and good on the ball. He is a regular on our U21's and has made his debut for the NT against Ireland in November.

Luka Modric: (Inter Zapresic/Dinamo Zagreb) 19 years old. He was voted the best young player in Croatia this season. He developed in the Dinamo youth teams but made his name when he went out on loan. He played for Zrinjski Mostar in Bosnia where he was a top player in the league. He then went to Inter Zapresic where again he proved himself to be a top player and he returned to Dinamo in the winter. He came close to signing with CSKA Moscow in the winter. About his abilities, he has good pace, a lot of energy and creates good chances, only downside is he is quite short.

Filip Marcic: (Bordeaux) 19 years old, many in Croatia thought he was our best young talent. He is a central midfielder who developed in the Hajduk youth system but moved to France. He is now the captain of the Bordeaux youth team and a lot is expected from him.

These I guess are the biggest prospects

 

There is this youngster here in melbourne who plays in d1 he is about 20 years old 5'10 TANK who runs past BACks as if they where skittles.D1 is the 3rd league after A league and premier league he plays for a club called Westvale!!! boy could this kid play!! his name is Vedran Balaban ......... i think thats it. i dont recall but i have watched him a couple of times. i think that Perugia where intrested at one stage :thmbup:

 

Vaggelis Mantzios - 20 years old striker of Panionios but West Ham just signed him.

No we haven't signed him...yet

After one week of trial he's gone back to Greece but we're not going to sign him yet, We'll sign him when the time is right :lick:

 

Valon Behrami

 

Jamie Smith :shades:

 

Andreas Ivanschitz - 21-year-old creative midfielder of Rapid Vienna. Captain of the austrian NT at his young age, has had offers from Italy and will surely move to a bigger league this or next summer.

 

There are some promising talents in Japan.

Mitsuo Ogasawara is probably the most established Japanese player in the J-League. He's actually had quite a poor season for Antlers, but the quality is obviously there. Attacking midfielder, is good with both feet and very creative. He must be about 26-27 now. He should really be moving to europe, he's good enough.

 

South Korea Joo-Young Park

 

VALON BEHRAMI!

19 years old, Hellas Verona

Right/Central,Defender/midfielder: Can play four positions
This guy will rule Europe within a couple of years believe me

Recently scored his 3rd goal in serie B, anyone who saw his goal should be amazed by this guy. Started from midfield,dribbled through 3-4 players and then shot a rocket from 20 m

Hunted by: Milan,Juventus,Liverpool,Tottenham,Arsenal,Palermo,Fiorentina etc.

Does he have parents from the former Yugoslavia? Sounds like his name should be Ivancic, but they changed it to an Austrian version.

Nice to see that some of the players from Australia, especially Melbourne are being recognised. I have also heard of this kid. Terrific player; great speed, amazing dribbling ability, with a classy touch. The boy wears the number 7 shirt and wears white boots with white "Cristiano Ronaldo socks". Speaking of Cristiano Ronaldo, Vedran 'immitates' his style and all his dribblings. Some say that he does them even better then Cristiano himself.. :dazed:

It is also true that Perugia were at one stage interested but the deal unfortunatly fell-through. However, it seems destined that he will be playing for Belgium's Anderlecht next season as thier scouts have been taunting him with constant praise. It has been rumoured that a deal worth nearly 500 thousand pounds will take place in June.

He plays as a winger, both sides, (although he is naturally right-footed). He played for the Australian Junior side in 1997 but due to a shocking knee injury, which kept him out of the game for some 2 seasons, he was forced to be dropped. He is actually on loan to Westvale from Perth Glory where he has only made three bench appearances. Perth is desperate to have him back as a starter :dazed: this season but the 'offer' from Anderlecht seems too good to refuse.
