You must have caught a lot of PSGu18 to regularly watch Xavi Simons to say that.
He basically just named the only players U18 he actually knew.
Yeah, the way our U23s played this season was joy to watch, especially at the start of the season with so many goals, almost every player looking like proper footballers. Most of them were 17-19 year old players too.
Agree with number of players to be excited about, hopefully they all will step and show how good they are.
Hopefully he will make the preseason training, might get a cup game next season.
The only game he's played anything like a 6 was against Villa u23s because we were already 4-0 down & down to 10 men & needed someone to get some kind of grip on the game
Exactly. I thought this is how it works around here.
edit. Obviously haven't watched them 50 times each, but these are some players that impressed me when I have seen them, just like Mejbri has. It's just that he isn't the only very talented young player in the world, nothing more.
I thought Simons wasn’t all that? Good for his age and all that. Wasn’t him leaving Barca another Mino special?
He's a good player but nowhere near the level of the hype he's received, I'd say there's at least 3 players from the Dutch 2003s alone who are at least level of not on a higher level than him in Regeer, Rensch & Unuvar
That’s what I thought, thanks.
I believe that Barcelona also didnt think he was worth what he was asking. They saw him as a potential good player but not one of their 'crown jewels'. Not just a Raiola special.. although without Raiola Xavi (read : his parents or other parties involved) might have asked less.
Is Hannibal better than Andreas already? I mean, i think i may better than Andreas ...
I blame Vinnie.
I think he might end up as a 6 for us
He takes too many risks to be a no.6
Snatch.
Vinnie Samways?
Nah it was Gazza's fault for not coughing.
Next Big Thing: Hannibal Mejbri ‘takes the piss’ in training, likes a booking and looks well worth the millions Manchester United paid

Wow. Just wow. Can't believe we have talent like you wasting away at your keyboard! You could earn serious money, but yet you choose an honorable down to earth RedCafe membership.
Chill out. He's joking.
Yeah good comparison. Shame he pissed it all away.
Chill out. He’s joking.
A moniker like Mr Best, do you expect anything less?
Chill out. He’s joking.
It's clearly a joke that LawCharltonBest considers limerickcitykid's post a joke. But limerickcitykid was only joking with JohnnyKills, who thought MrBest had told us all a joke, which is uncertain as his talent is no joke. Neither did JohnnyKills get the joke I was joking about. So please chill out, you jokers. Go watch the fecking Joker movie.
And Hannibal is a joker too
Seeing as we ‘need a DoF to stop Woodward from leading our recruitment and making all the football decisions‘ - was this one of his finds on his many scouting trips across the globe, or did his football people get this deal done?
Nicky Butt.
He'll definitely make preseason, Greenwood went in 2018 when he was 16 and that was when Jose was in charge, players will be late back form Euros too so he'll get a couple of July runouts
Yes I know.
Our French scout whose name escapes me now followed the player for 3 years and built up a rapport with the players family to make the move possible and Woodward does deserve credit for how he revamped the scouting network.
Funnily enough, I think his name is Poirot or something like that!
But yea, was just making the point as some will have you believe we have no football people at the club and Woodward is out compiling transfer lists on his own. Which of course is not the case.
Did his dad name him after Hannibal Barca of Carthage? 
No wonder the kid is a warrior.
No wonder the kid is a warrior.Should come in handy next time we play Roma.Did his dad name him after Hannibal Barca of Carthage?
Bring victory in our home game and totally fail at the gates of Rome?
Mathieu Seckinger is the scout who brought in Emeran, Traore & Mejbri
So far so good. I'm sure he's well paid but thanks anyway Mathieu!
This kid has the intangibles down pat. Strength, control, temperament and of course wonderful technique. He is a unique talent who will truly blossom with similarly intelligent players around him. He’s made for the first team. Next season, this boy will break into the first team. Feck Pogba.
The first few minutes there show his special skill of keeping it simple yet making fools out of the defenders.
