Whoosh.

Edit - Damn you you Lebanese Koala lover for ruining my comment.

He was being sarcastic.....at least I hope he was! That would be a ridiculous claim to make unless you watch every youth league in Europe!

He coild be basing his opinion on what he's seen from following the uefa youth cup which isn't a bad benchmark tbf.

But we're talking about Liquidator here. He's a troll expert.

Not really as that only includes teams that qualify to CL on the senior level and are not at all necessarily the best youth teams in their respective leagues.

Whoosh.

Too slow, bro.

But youth competitions are still the only realistic way of following youth football since youth leagues in most countries are not even televised and we will never really know who the best youth player in Europe is, technically speaking.

Probably the best young player in europe atm in my opinion

For me in the history of football we can make a ranking like this: Pelé, Maradona, Colkett, Messi, Di Stefano and Crisitiano.

Tbh I watched the game afterwards in bad quality with no sound and I thought this kid was matic having an amazing game

One to watch

Exactly, which is why statements like "best youth player in Europe" are kind of ridiculous.

Was very good in the Thailand game, as was musonda, the two youth players whom deserved it the most to start today and that's maybe just my opinion, got an unsatisfying 10minutes at the end of the game.

I really don't understand how jose's line of thought is on this, there must be things going on in professional football that I just don't have a clue about. And i don't think i'm the only one with this on my mind.

So this is the guy that everyone is getting excited over. I see.

Indeed. He's had an excellent season with the youth sides and his performance against the Thailand side with the first team has properly put him on the radar.

I, for one, just like his hair.

Whats up with him, wasnt taken to USA, isnt starting tonight for U21? Injury?

The mystery continues. No sight of Charlie yet and no explanation that I've seen. Does anyone know of any information which has been released?

There is nothing on his twitter feed. The last tweet, posted on 31st August, was the fairly enigmatic, "Don't tark to much...." plus an egg timer graphic. We might all have our own guess what that suggests but it's likely that if the absence was caused by an injury we'd have learned about it. Makes it seem more likely that the problem is disciplinary, not medical. If so, it's a big shame but let's hope he's back sooner rather than later and puts it behind him.

He is injured.

OK, thank you. I haven't read that news anywhere. Where was it announced?
