Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 14 December 2008 Posted 14 December 2008 I'll kick things off. Alan Dzagoev D.O.B: June 17th 1990 Club: CSKA Moscow (28 apps, 13 goals, 12 assists) Previous Clubs :Krylia Sovetov Nationality: Russia (2 games, 0 goals) Int. Debut: October 2008 Really big things are expected from this kid, he's been one of the key reasons Vagner Love topped the Russian league goalscoring charts, setting up a large amount of his goals. He is Russia's youngest outfield debutant, and made his mark scoring twice when CSKA beat Deportivo la Coruna in the UEFA Cup, prompting the Spanish press to dub him "The New Beckham" , they also said that "A move to Madrid would not be impossible." When asked about a move to Spain though, he said that "Chelsea is my favourite", and that he admired Frank Lampard when growing up. He also won the award for Best Russian Newcomer at their national football awards. Don't be surprised to see him linked with Chelsea next summer, given the whole Russian connection and everything. Anyone else know any youngsters with potential?

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 14 December 2008 Author Posted 14 December 2008 Batuhan Karadeniz This is a player I know a little more about, following Besiktas. Absolute beast in the air. Linked with a move to the Bundesliga or the Premier League.
Darkzzz_ Posted 14 December 2008 Posted 14 December 2008 Only a portion of that is from Wikipedia. Hey I wasn't insinuating anything. I have only read a small bit about the lad to be fair, sounds promising.
Father Ted Posted 14 December 2008 Posted 14 December 2008 Miralem Sulejmani D.O.B: December 5th, 1988 Club: Ajax Nationality: Serbian (3 caps) Sulejmani is only 20 years old and has been linked with a move to Chelsea aswell as breaking the Dutch transfer record. Starting his career at Partizan Belgrade, he moved to Heerenveen at the age of 17. In his first season at Heerenveen he replaced Afonso Alves upfront and scored 15 goals in 34 games. At the end of the season, Ajax signed him for a Dutch record of €16.25m, beating the previous recordset by Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. Since then he has been slightly hampered by injuries but still succeeded Ibrahim Affellay in winning the Dutch football talent of the year.

I see him every and then when I can be bothered to watch the Eredivsie. Which isn't often. He sure has got talent though, Stevan Jovetic as well, has a big future ahead of him.
Father Ted Posted 14 December 2008 Posted 14 December 2008 Also, Zoran Tosic who Man Utd have been after is an absolute gem along with Adem Ljajic. Definitely two to watch out for. Also watch our for the domination by Serbia on the international stage in the coming years. With Radomir Antic (ex-Real Madrid) as their new manager, and a team with an average age of something like 22 years old they are something to watch out for. Demolished Bulgaria with Berbatov and Tunchev 6-1 recently.

Benjani Posted 15 December 2008 Posted 15 December 2008 Matty Fryatt is an enigma. Watch him and it is clear he is too good to leave out of this Leicester side but once you have seen what he is capable of you wonder what exactly is his best position. In the ideal team he would play in that difficult, withdrawn role just behind the centre-forward but at the moment Leicester's squad does not have the right balance to utilise that formation effectively. The best shape for him, unfortunately, would not get the best out of his team-mates at present. A lot of Fryatt's good work, however, is done in that area. At 21 he has fantastic poise and balance in possession, is good with either foot and his control and ability to deal with the ball in tight areas of the pitch are at times superb. He has excellent vision and can pick a pass earlier than most. A lot of people do not realise that split-second can be the difference between a good run from his team-mate and that same run where the player got caught offside because the pass was delayed. Some players' good traits work only up to a certain level but he has the sort of talent that thrives equally well against both top-class opponents and not so good ones. I watched Fryatt last week against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. He was comfortable on the ball all over the pitch and there was an impressive willingness to get goalside of the ball when the opposition were in possession. Fryatt's goalscoring record at his previous club, Walsall, was good with 27 goals in 70 appearances but this is an area he has struggled with since his transfer to Leicester and he needs to improve on a ratio of one goal in six games. He is neither massively quick nor athletic and he liked the ball to feet, particularly in and around the box. It was with one such ball that he created Leicester's opening goal at Chelsea when he received a short free-kick on the edge of the box, rolled his marker and stood a glorious ball up to the far post where a team-mate was unmarked to head home. At 5ft 10in he is capable in the air without being truly dominant and is the type of player that can appear to lack a bit of passion. That is not the case with Fryatt. Even so, although the contributions he makes are more often than not telling ones, I would like to see him have a greater impact on games. Because he has no outstanding physical attribute, the mental side of his game has to be good. It is. This means he plays with an intelligence that other players lack and also has a lovely first touch, which always makes the game that little bit easier, allied to a good understanding of his team-mates. Fryatt is taking a while to find his feet at Leicester but he has been hampered by a succession of injuries and the club's constant changing of managers. But when he does settle he will surely get even better as there is nothing in his game that will deteriorate as he gets older. He needs the chance to learn the game and just what is required to put that unquestioned ability into practice more often. Then, and only then, will he make one position his own. Age 21 Born Nuneaton Position Forward Height 5ft 10in Weight 11st From Walsall How he rates Awareness 9/10 Heading 8/10 Pace 7/10 Passing 9/10 Shooting 8/10 Attitude 8/10 Valuation £500,000-750,000
Ultra Posted 15 December 2008 Posted 15 December 2008 A lot of people do not realise that split-second can be the difference between a good run from his team-mate and that same run where the player got caught offside because the pass was delayed. Which is why several of our strikers (Fryatt included) have fallen foul of the offside trap so often in recent seasons. Too often the midfielders delay their passes by taking an extra touch.
Ric Flair Posted 15 December 2008 Posted 15 December 2008 Ola Toivonen, plays for Malmo FF. I follow a bit of Scandanavian football when I can and this lad has a massive future ahead of him. He's very similar in style to how Larsson was in his early years and Kim Kallstrom, i'd say he's got the ability to perhaps rival these two. Obviously Henrik is a legend and it would be some achievement to match him, but you've got to aim high as a player! He's the size of Ibrahimovic as well.
Lovejoy Posted 16 December 2008 Posted 16 December 2008 Martin Galvan of Cruz Azul. Mexico in 5 years or so are going to be a real force .
