Re: Young players to keep an eye on
Giuseppe Rossi - Manchester United, 19 years old.
Plays a very similar position to Wayne Rooney behind his partnering striker. Very quick, excellent touch, and great passing ability. Scored 26 goals for the reserves this year as they claimed the treble but didn't get much chance to break into the first team with Rooney, Saha, and Ruud all ahead of him. Put one away against Sunderland on his premiership debut and 2 against Burton in the FA Cup. Joined from Parma two years ago and just signed a 2 year extension today. Born and grew up in New Jersey but has shown interest in playing for Italy after having played for their youth teams. Look for him to get a lot more first team action with Ruud probably on his way out. 3 minute compilation of Rossi in action

Re: Young players to keep an eye on
Arsenal
Emmanuel Eboue Great pace, very strong on the ball. Makes great runs from the back. Had a fantastic year, huge reason they went so far in the CL. Will be the RB for Arsenal for years to come. Emmanuel Adebayor Just another extremely promising striker for the gunners. Strong, good pace, good finisher. Around 6'4. Already the best player on togo at 21. Cesc Fabregas Not sure if this is too obvious. Great vision. Precision passing. Controls the center of the pitch. Dominated Patrick Vieira in the Quarterfinals. Unbelievable long ball. Best 18 year old outside of leo messi Phillip Senderos 21 years old. Fantastic World Cup. Strong central defender. Seems to get better every game.

greg oden. [/ QUOTE ] he wanted players nobody's never heard of or cares about. greg oden will be the overall #1 pick next year and is getting almost as much hype as lebron did. he certainly shouldn't be mentioned in this thread.

Re: Young players to keep an eye on
You might have heard of him, but here in Brazil there is a Kid named Nilmar playing in Corinthians.
He is a great striker, smart, moves well, has great positioning. His game looks like Bebeto´s. Great Future for sure.

Re: Young players to keep an eye on
Everyone knows about Cesc Fabregas. He is awesome.
Eboue had a great year as well. I'm not sold on Senderos, I think there is some homerism to you mentioning him.
