Yeah, Adu is a poor example. The one 16 year old I want is Cherki. He has Brazilian Ronaldo's feet. He probably won't have the same athleticism though which just highlights just how insane of a talent Ronaldo was.
Eduardo Camavinga | Real Madrid watch
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Is he that broke that he had to sell his feet after he’d retired?
It makes me think that we maybe hold back talent longer than it's necessary. Jimmy Garner and the likes might not be as far away as some of us may think.
But credit to Rennes for believing and blooding the youth. I think they'll be making alot of money in the coming seasons.

What a performance.
More impressive than Renato Sanches, so he's at least Bayern Munich class.
Basing this on 1 game? What the hell happened to that kid who bossed Arsenal at 16? Reece Oxford was it?
Very nice performance.
He's Angolan. Born in Miconje, Angola. Hopefully France doesn't steal one more.
Eh. France exploiting Africa for its own benefit; what's new?
We’ve just spent 10 million on a French teenager, where on Earth have you got this idea in your head from?
This is what I'd want to know also?
Who did France steal again ?
Look at the current African champions (but also at Senegal, Morocco, Mali etc etc..)and see how many of them have been through the french system, developped as footballers to have their respective african countries benefit from them. France exploiting Africa in football has always been a weird myth.
Morons piss me offDo not bite.
How about 20M bid for this lad? Ah well after the game against PSG is probably worth 100M already.
He completed 81/83 passes in 2 games and won 9 tackles. That's a great start to his career.
He's just moved to Augsburg or a Bundesliga team permanently, I still can't understand why they kept and played him instead of constantly loaning him out.
He just isn't that good after all. Hyped after 1 game.
Camavinga looks a good steady player, especially for such a young age.
I think it's very early to start talking about transfers though.
Aye, Oxford just joined Augsburg for a paltry £4m. Seems like he's really dropped off the ball and lost his way (from his debut and his potential I mean, not saying a move to Augsburg isn't still carving out a decent career for himself).
However, without any statistical info to back up my upcoming statement, I feel those younger prospects in the other European leagues get nurtured better when they make their top-flight breakthrough (Mbappe, Felix, Havertz et al), as opposed to those in the PL who suddenly get the world placed firmly on their shoulders (Oxford in this instance).
Poor mans Sean Longstaff
The fact that he bossed the midfield in the second half..
France tbf have been producing world class talent for many years now. Just look at the potential world class CB's that are coming through.. The Clarefontaine school has been leading the world for many years now in producing the best talents in high volume.

Let me compile a list
It will start with the "Monna Lisa" and include Quebec, half the African Continent, and the city of Nice

He's not french. But anyways, the clairfontaine system has 10% of the merit.
Claifontaine has always been there. THe difference is the genetics pool they have access now. Literally every player they have has a legal claim to another passport IE they are 1 direct children of African country.
The real French genetics is GUivarch, Petit, Giroud,

Who told you that he wasn't french?
Have access "now" ? What are you talking about ?He's not french. But anyways, the clairfontaine system has 10% of the merit.

the fact that he wasn't born in your country.
but anyways, you have probably already 'naturalized' him. good job, great work
You're confusing many things, you don't have to be born in a country to have the nationality of said country
Nice try thoughThat's not how nationality works and he is the only one deciding what his nationalities are. The only thing that is sure is that he is born in Angola and spent 15 of his 16 years in France, if he wants it he has a right to french citizenship.

You follow that logic and a third of the AFCON will be watching the competition from France.
Cherno Samba was the one for me. He should've been a Ballon D'Or winner.
I'd compare him more to Neymar than Ronaldo in terms of playing style but he is a lot stronger than Neymar was at his age, regularly resists challenges of much bigger and older players, reminds me of Hazard in that aspect
He passes and moves right after? What is this sorcery? We don't do that sort of thing at Manchester United. Don't want.
Haha he is going to cost a bomb in the summer
Overrated foreigner if his name was Ed Cameron you'd all be calling him shit
