Madmax 9,219 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Does England have no good youngsters in that age bracket? Hope we don't end up in a mess because of his age. Don't want another controversy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I don't really know much about him to be honest. If teams like Manchester United wanted to sign him up then I suspect he's fairly talented Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall 315 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 He's only 14 so he'll probably disappear for a couple of years now. Then if he's any good he'll be the mceachran of a couple of years time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 The champions have also completed the signing of another teenage prodigy in the capture of 15-year-old midfielder Bertrand Traore of Burkina Faso. The boy had been affiliated to Auxerre in France and had also trained with Manchester United. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/tappingup-row-hits-chelsea-over-neymar-2051142.htmlQuote is from the second-to-last paragraph.

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Once again SkySports refuse to acknowledge this, yet when Manchester United buy a young player (Bebe in this case) they're all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
