I want to make a thread that will help us learn a lot in the future. The idea is to list all the prospects of romanian football, guess how far they can get and then follow on their evolution.
It will be interesting to see how accurate our appreciation is and it will also give us a measure of how and at what speed our talents evolve(or not).
For example this seems as a very promising moment, when many kids are confirming for their clubs and the NT, but how will it continue? Will they get lost, live up to expectations or do well but proving we overhyped them?
I would like the help of you all in getting as much data as possible, including dates of birth and main strenghts and weaknesses of every player, along with your appreciation of the future of that particular player.
As a way to compare, i would like to use the example of some of our great talents that are still in activity and could still achieve something else. I will offer a rough "talent estimate" (from 0 to 100) in each case, to use as a comparisson point
Florin Cernat (83)
Best features:Great dribbling, shooting, amazing technique, good passing.
Worst features: Weak physically and low work rate.
What went wrong: Mainly lack of ambition IMO, for example remaining years as a sub.
Present: He surprised with a comeback that was struck by an injury. Maybe he has one last chance.
Lucian Sanmartean (82)
BF:Technique, dribbling, vision, passing, inteligence
WF: Weak physically, a very low scoring rate.
What went wrong: A career plagued by injuries and some bad choices probably.
Present: Keeping a good form in Liga I for 2 seasons without serious injuries. At 30 he is probably too late to do much more.
Adrian Cristea (82)
BF: Dribbling, fantasy, shooting, fantastic technique.
WF: Low work rate, not a great physical shape, very irregular performances
What went wrong: Bad mentality and off the field problems.
Present: Does ok in Liga I. A transfer abroad may
revive his career, he is still 25/26 after all.
Alin Stoica (84)
BF: Amazing vision, technique and passing, an elegant player.
WF: Not too strong or fast, awful mentality.
What went wrong: Apparently serious off the field attitude problem.
Present: At 31, we may not hear much about him anymore.
Tiberiu Ghioane (83)
BF: Intelligence, versatility, class, passing, a sense for scoring.
WF: Not great physically
What went wrong: A strange character and a serious health episode that stopped his evolution
Present: After a nice comeback that got him to the NT he seems to be lost again.
Nicolae Mitea (85)
BF: Speed, dribbling, ease for scoring.
WF: His small body is his only real setback, something i noticed even in his best times.
What went wrong: ...as Gica said, this guy has serious mental problems. He probably still lives in 2005
Present: In his house waiting for an offer from Barcelona:excited:
Ianis Zicu (85)
BF: A magician with the ball, great passing and dribbling, flair, ability to score.
WF: Even when he doesn´t have the best mentality, his main problem are his snail pace and fat body tipe.
What went wrong: It took him a lot to mature, and a bad injury that took a huge time to recover, a bad diagnose included
Present: Probably the best of them all, doing great again in Liga I, and recently back to the NT. However, it remains a mystery if he is able to perform at a higher level.

From the list is already clear what positions are more weak both currently and in projection. I included 24 year old players as a limit.
