Redcafe Future Stars

Neck on the Line:
Deadcerts:
David De Gea - Spains Number 1 for a long time to come
Rafael Da Silva - Will become one of the best right backs in the world
Thomas Müller - Will be world class
Paul Pogba - Will be Uniteds Main CM in a few years.
Alexis Sanchez - Will move to a big team this summer and shine.
Chris Smalling - Englands first choice CB in 2-3 years.
Jack Wilshere - Already doing it?
Javier Hernandez - ^^
Stefan Jovetic - Will move to a big team soon and be a key player
Manuel Neuer - Germany's Number 1 ahead of Adler.

Well he wasn't wrong.

Can I have Jonny Evans and Anderson as dead certs?

Hmm.

Danny Welbeck will be a nominee for the World Player of the Year awards!!!

(Thats putting my neck on the line)

Well Wilshire might be better but since he is a midfielder in the Scholes mould, it would be slightly more difficult for him

Heh.

Neck on the line
Tunnicliffe
Suso
Tom Thorpe

Oh god.

Can I get a James McClean please. Top 4 player.

:lol:

Ross Barkley.
Eric Dier.
Apostolos Vellios.
Luke Garbutt.

Nice.
 
Hoilet from Blackburn
Obertan :nervous:
Kyle Walker
Paul Pogba

I'll take 1 and a half out of 4? Walker's doing pretty well.

I'll add John Brayford to be a soild, established England RB in the coming years.

At the time he was playing for Derby in the Championship, he's now regressed and is played in League One aged 29. Still a chance...?
 
My prediction, 18 years old and under, those that will play in a Top 7 PL clubs or equivalent:
RoShaun Williams, Callum Gribbin, Angel Gomes, DJ Buffonge, Lee O'Connor, Tahith Chong, Ethan Laird, Mason Greenwood (Man Utd)
Jadon Sancho, Ian Carlo Poveda, Rabbi Mantondo, Tommy Doyle (Man City)
Marcus Edwards, Oakey-Boothe, Noni Madeuke (Spurs)
Ryan Sessegnon, Lucas Ashby-Hammond, a CM whose I forgot the name (Fulham)
Trend Alexander-Arnold, Ben Woodburn, Rhian Brewster, Luis Longstaff (Liverpool)
Jay Da Silva, Mason Mount, Dujon Sterling, Ben Elliot (Chelsea)

(well it's not like Man Utd academy is far better than others, I just haven't watched enough of some other players from other clubs to form a prediction)

Outside England:
Isak, Passlack, Pusilic, Mor (Dortmund) - well they are already quite close to be fair.

Emerson Hyndman?
 
5 very good U16 players

Kelvin Ofori - Right to Dream
Yari Verschaeren - RSC Anderlecht
Sekou Sidibe - PSV Eindhoven
Daishawn Redan - Ajax
Umaro Embalo - Benfica
 
Justin Kluivert will be a baller. @Solius are you going to do a new officlal thread on this and set out some guidelines?
 
So I've been watching the French u19 team lately and I watched the u21s today to see if any of them have made the step up, and I was happy to see a few of the names that I recognised

2012_2013_17550_500091.jpg


Name - Layvin Kurzawa
Date of birth - 4 September 1992
National team - French u21
Position - Leftback
Club - Monaco
Appearances - 8
Info- Very good on the ball, good in the air, brave, and quick. Similar type of player to Patrice Evra


Lindsay_20ROSE.jpg

Name - Lindsay Rose
Date of birth - 8 February 1992 (
National team - French u21
Position - Central defender
Club - Valenciennes
Appearances - 7
Info - Strong, quick and good in the air. Rose is eligible to play for Mauritius if his dream of playing for France doesn't work out. Captained the team today VS Congo.

Name - Paul Madiba
Date of birth - 29 July 1992
National team - French u21
Position - Striker
Club - Auxerre
Appearances - 7
Info - Broke into the reserve team within 6 months of starting his trial, he as impressed enough to be given 7 games for the senior team, scoring two goals. Lightening quick, with a good first touch and plenty of skill. If Madiba doesn't make it in the French national team, he's sure to be called up to play for Cameroon.

2012_2013_17646_500075.jpg

Name - Neeskens Kebano
Date of birth - 10 March 1992
National team - French u21
Position - Winger, Attacking midfielder
Club - PSG (on loan at Caen)
Appearances - 8 for PSG/ 13 for Caen
Info - Quickest player I've seen at a youth tournament in a long time with an excellent first touch and can play anywhere in the top half of the pitch. Kebano was loaned out to Ligue 2 side Caen and has been one of their top performers in the last month or so of the campaign. He already has European experience with PSG, playing 3 times in the Europa League.

2012_2013_19607_500091.jpg

Name - Nampalys Mendy
Date of birth - 23 June 1992
National team - French u21
Position - Defensive midfielder
Club - Monaco
Appearances - 80
Info - Mendy has been dubbed as a ''carbon copy of Makalele'' and after watching him a few teams it's easy to see why. He's fearless in the tackle, despite his small stature. Dictates the tempo playing short passes, and always seems to be in the right place at the right time. With 80 appearances for Monaco by the age of 20. Potential world class player, and future captain of France.

Some good shouts.
 
Vinicius Junior(16) Flamengo.
Don Alan Iniesta Guimaraes(17) Palmeiras

PEDRINHO(19) - Corinthians. Winger/ss.


LUIZ ARAUJO(21) - Lille. Winger


ARTHUR(20) - Gremio. DM/CM


RICHARLISON(20) - Fluminense. CF/RW/LW


Guilherme Arana(20) - Corinthians LB.
Wendell(19) - Fluminense - CM/CAM
 
His name is Alan Guimaraes. We call him Don Iniesta because in Brazil we like to make absurd comparations between youngsters and wc players only to put the U-20 under pressure and see if they can handle it. :D

He should take Don Iniesta as his "artist"/shirt name.
 
Konrad Laimer - RB Salzburg (20) - Central Midfielder



Jan Bamert - Grasshoppers (19) - Central Defender



José Gomes - Benfica (18) - Striker

 
No really impressive predictions in the OP. All a bit obvious or yet to make much of a mark.

The one that does stand out is Snow's nomination of Gylfi Sigurdsson.
@Solius

I still stand by this. Most goals in the the PL from free kicks last season. Don't know how many assists from free kicks and corners for Swansea. Same story for Iceland. Direct/indirect free kick goals, corners, penalties. He does it all. For my money the best all around set pieces taker and the probably the best since prime Juninho.
