Soccer Prospect Discussion Thread VI

[Evilo]

Yes but Caqueret has performed better.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Netherlands u21 list is out aswell.

surprised Rensch and Ihatteran is not there. Gravenbach would be a lock too, but he is probaly a lock for the Senior Team.

 

[YNWA14]

I don't expect much from this group.

 

[Jussi]

Good, but he needs to play. He's an amazing talent but has nothing to do in the youth ranks anymore.

He's been injured for a month as well.

 

[Jussi]

Not the biggest miss but w.e

Oh f*** off Germany for picking Thiaw... He was going to play for us last Fall but Covid cancelled the games. He can still pick us for the senior level though.

 

[Jussi]

Up to June 2024 with an option year.

 

[Savant]

Easily a top 5-10 player in the Championship this season. Will be a shame if he doesn’t get minutes next season. Not many better 17 year olds in the world right now.

If any.

I am very worried about LFC hyped youngster since Woodburn debacle.

I am cautious optimistic but he will have to continue his progress.

Woodburn never put up numbers like this. These are historic Championship numbers for someone at that age. Not saying he will be the second coming, bur he is certainly ready for minutes next season. Hell he probably would have gotten minutes if he didn’t get loaned out

Elliott definitely looks better than Woodburn did at the same age, but Woodburn also ended up marred by injury which we've seen screw up a lot of young, bright talents. Though he did recently score a hattrick in an intrasquad friendly, and is still only 21.

I rarely post here

Harvey Elliott goal. Celebrated with a Hillsborough remembrance message on his undershirt. This guy wants to be a Liverpool legend.

The potential is there for him to be.

 

[Evilo]

It's been a while I forgot to talk to you guys about Pape Matar Sarr.
Hyped as the next great african player, he signed in Metz in january.
He's a central midfielder, Ndombele, B2B type of player.
First game he scored and IIRC added an assist. He also scored a few other times.
The guy is a special talent. You can't take the ball away from him and he break the lines as if it's too easy.
After less than 2 months, United and Lyon have already contacted Metz (and probably others).
Keep an eye on him and sign him in next year's Football Manager edition.

Another guy to keep an eye on :
Enzo Le Fee.
Was last year one of the best Ligue 2 players.
This year, he's starting to play up to his talents after some shy debuts earlier.
He's a CM/AMC, excellent, excellent passer.
Son of a former player, his dad died this month (suicide at age 21).
He's got tremendous IQ and Lorient will have trouble keeping him. Monaco among others are prepated to buy him with big money next summer. Marseille also interested.

Harvey Elliott with the truly terrible new tattoo

Harvey Elliott with the truly terrible new tattoo

Why is it terrible? Looks like it has more meaning than most of the random ink footballers get these days.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

While all the attention are on Harvey Elliott... another top LFC prospect from the academy is flying off the radar.

 

[Evilo]

5 nominees but...
Diop is from Rennes' academy (like Camavinga)
Caqueret and Gouiri are from Lyon's.
Tchouameni was from Bordeaux'.

Interesting to see that such young players have moved early and it has paid off (though I feel they would have broken through with their original team as well).

 

[AB13]

How good is Tchouaneni anyway? On first sight Tchouameni seems primed to be the upgraded version of Fernandinho to me but can he end up as a box to box type? Has the physical power, engine and ball striking to be a world class Box to Box, reminds me of Ballack. I think City should go for him. Only seen him a couple times but he looks really, really good.

 

[Evilo]

He's been amazing this year. Totally b2b.

 

[East Coast Bias]

@Evilo this kid is the real deal

he also got a red card later. He was getting kicked and fouled all game, something that has been a problem at this level all season. He mocked giving the ref a card after nothing was called on another foul. Lol.
