Football Talents

[TacticalBlues 2,817]

Apart from the transfer talk section we don't really have a section to discuss "other players". Theirs a lot of great talents out their and we're not always linked, or in need of them so I thought it may be useful to have a dedicated thread for it.

I've always enjoyed the rise of young talents into superstars. made this video late 2010 (waited till after January window so I could add a few more Chelsea players ) but made it private a two months ago since it was made for 2011. (Will make it unlisted temporarily so it can be viewed).

So more on topic Hachim Mastour trained with AC Milan's first team a few weeks ago. Good young talent, at 15 years old he has a long way to go but is a bright young prospect for an ever aging Milan side.

Bonus Video: Neymar v Hachim freestyling and fifa:

James Rodriguez is my favorite attacling player, besides Hazard, under 23.

The man himself, William Carvalho. My favourite player. (third compilation is kinda weak but there aren't many floating around from him)

Defensive mid, 21 years old, and a god damn beast. IIRC he has won every player of the month award up until now.

How do you rate his passing ability and range?

Sorry for the late reply but I totally forgot, probably was drunk when I read this lol.

He's a very very good short-mid passer. Long passes he's good. But passing isn't his main strenght... Recovering the ball and holding it. He does this exquisitely for a CDM and he ignites the offense very well.

So on the ball you could say he is a bit like Mikel?

Far better...

Little example (not worth much but you gotta understand there aren't many gifs of his actions)

How do you think a Matic-Carvalho pivot would fare?It would be beastly defensively but there isnt much creativity in there imo.

I don't know if William is 100% ready to take the big step, but it would be a nightmare for other teams! The kind of defense they'd provide would help our AM's reduce their defensive duties and focus more on offense and they are competent enough on offense to still be a threat although I've never seen William in a double pivot.

Sad to see Isco not getting enough playing time at Real Madrid ..

I really think he has that special something that only very few players have (Hazard has it..), that magic touch.

Would have suited Barca more IMO.

"Hachim Mastour has been moved up to the Milan first team squad even though he doesn't turn 16 until June"

Hmm, 15 year old already drafted to Milan's first team. Ok, Milan aren't Milan like before, but still. This kid is going to be a monster if handled well.

Just glad he didn't go to City last year...

[iseah100 5,612]

15 years old....really? Lol.

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

I'm not convinced Mastour is the biggest 15 year old talent in the world though. Seung Woo from Barcelona's 98' generation (along with Carles Alena and Ayoub Ayou) of talents is pretty incredible. Mastour probably shades it on technique but Seung is more of an all round genius.

One of PSG's many exceptional talents. Just got drafted to the first team this season. Kinglsey Coman : 17

From a mid-season friendly against Madrid where he was the best player on the pitch. This kid is gonna be huge if managed well.

Don't see anything special about him, just pace.

Blinding pace, skill, flair, passing range and a good footballing brain. I watched the tail-end of PSG's game just now vs Montpellier and his impressive cameo was what caused me to post that. He's one of France's biggest talents of his generation.

They are about to witness something like another golden generation with the unbelievable talent coming through.

Pawel Dawidowicz. 19 year old holding midfielder. Benfica just signed this guy, Dortmund wanted him too. Apparently he is a Chelsea fan as well.

Everything about him is very similar to our own Nemanja Matic
