QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Sep 26 2008, 12:02 PM)  I was not too far from being a teeanger when he was born.. and I'll probably be 30 by the time he even plays for the club. He'll probably flop and become a nobody anyways. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) I graduated high school in 99 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

Anyway, if he was going to be like Messi Barca would've kept him IMO. This post has been edited by zdrossoneri: Sep 26 2008, 10:36 PM |

I think it's very difficult to tell at this age. I remember one of my friends from when I was about 10 years old used to run circles around everyone else our age, if you were watching him you'd think he was Maradona or something. But in reality he was nowhere near good enough to play professionaly, he just looked brilliant compared to who he was playing again. I'm 99% certain it'll be the same for this kid.

I agree... it's almost impossible to tell if he's going to be like Messi and Bojan... not even Wenger can tell! |

Anyway, if he was going to be like Messi Barca would've kept him IMO. It's totally ridiculous this labeling thing... Whichever team wanted to enter him into their youth system would have to convince the parents... and that's not always easy... take Sheva for example, Milan had been following his steps ever since he was very young but his family did not want to move to Italy or let him go when he was a bit older...

It's all about how he evolves. At his age he is obviously better than the other kids but if he does not get better with age then it would not matter... |

I didn't know we followed Sheva when he was younger. if we could sign him a few years sooner, Nordahl would have been Milan's second best goalscorer of all-time now!

Yes he played with one of Dynamo Kyiv youth teams against the respective Milan one. That's when we spotted him. Of course we should have followed this guy too! Not only back then but also when Albertini suggested we should sign him later on... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) Now he plays for that team... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/puke.gif) |

I don't like Torres. Something about him, that just doesn't appeal to me personality-wise. I think he's a little dull.
