Doesn't matter, we got Scott Sinclair.

He is better then Walcott, not to hard.

Linked to chelsea along with gai assulin. Sahar could tempt assulin, but i doubt anything will happen.

Sorry I didn't remember the exact number

I've never heard of Terron but we have a few goldies in our youth teams like Gay Assulin, Marc Crosas, Jeffren and Marc Valiente although you told me last time that Valiente isn't so good.

I signed Sinclair in FM and he didn't come out of the B team

[Super Pibe #7]

Valiente is a good player, crosas is the one i think that is rubbish.

[Sven]

Hehe, he just came back on loan from Plymouth , he is a real talent, he doesn't score easy goals.

List of goals

Proberly best

lol, if you play fm, allways raid Chelsea youth, get Sahar, Sinclair and Slobodon Rajokovic (I moved him in my game, but he's not in normal game unless got serb leagues) and Woods, all become great players, for Cheap, if you wait 1-2 years Sinclair price goes up x6.

Bojan and Niguez,Terron and Iago are steals from Spain.

Where Giovicanni from Juventus is a good steal and Cheap too.

Man united look like they have beaten Chelsea to the signature of gai assulin. Though nothing is official yet. This is really frustrating it always happens to our cantera youngsters there are always 2/3 great prospects and one ends up leaving.

We have messi,dos santos,bojan who can compensate for his departure and the likes of calvo,thiago,iago,jeffren following. Though the thing is that assulin unlike the rest can take control of any game when the team Is down and out and push them to win.

This is really upsetting and he really is going to be a big star in the future.

English clubs can offer these kids big money at age 16, we can't. South european clubs are getting exploited by english clubs in the same way we rob the south american ones. I hate these methods of going directly to the parents who have dollar signs in their eyes.

I can understand though why Man united are chasing him. He reminds a lot of Giggs with his runs and we know Giggs isn't getting younger.

[red pisces]

who is gai assulin?
ive yet to hear about him.

[Super Pibe #7]

He currently plays for barca cadet A and will be joining the B team next season. Just turned 16 and is the third prospect of ours after bojan,dos santos.

Along with sahar,zahavi(might chose portugal) its said that israel probably in the future will have one of the most deadliest attacking lines.

[BrancoII]

Would you say this Assullin lad is on a par with Dos Santos and Bojan.

[Sven]

Not in terms of scoring , he's younger then both, but top talent.

I rate them two higher, but i like assulins mentality. Though i would compare him to messi than those two.

tribalfootball.com - Barcelona coach Rijkaard: Krkic could play this season

Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard has hinted Bojan Krkic could play a role in the club's title chase.

After handing a senior debut to the 16 year-old striker in last week's friendly against Egypt's Al Ahly, Rijkaard spoke with Barca B staff about promoting the youngster to the first team squad for the rest of this season.

Yesterday, Rijkaard said: "The player could be involved in some games (this season) and training sessions. His time has already arrived. He may be young, but he has the talent and quality to compete at this level."

[Mighty T.A.L.]

If he's class I bet he will play in the Premiership someday...

Excellent, I didn't realise he'd said this. I didn't think we'd see Bojan for another year.

If we're winning a game by 2-0 or 3-0 with 25 minutes to go then bringing on Bojan can get get him some excellent experience. Hopefully Rijkaard will give the 16 year old some minutes this season.

Dos Santos And Krkic Headed For Stardom

With some Barcelona youngsters having grabbed the headlines of late, Matthew Hernon took the opportunity to take a quick look at the products that lie on the end of the pipeline that is their youth setup.

If it worked once, why not try again?

Following the success of Cesc Fabregas, Arsene Wenger had another look at the Barcelona youth set-up and picked up a second young Spanish midfielder with tremendous skill and vision: 17yr old Fran Merida.

Barca fans need not worry too much though, there are plenty more where he came from. They have some of the most exciting youngsters in Europe, with Giovani Dos Santos and Bojan Krkic, in particular, destined for big futures in the game.

Frank Rijkaard may well be giving them a chance in the first team sooner rather than later (indeed they both featured in Egypt this week). That is, of course, if the Catalan giants can keep the vultures away, especially a certain Frenchman.

Bojan Krkic (16)

It is always exciting to discover the next big thing; the new Maradona, Pele, Cruyff or even Messi. Yes, he might be only 19, but the Argentinean already has a pretender to his crown at the Camp Nou.

Watching Bojan Krkic strut his stuff on Barca TV, it was not difficult to see why he has been compared to Lionel Messi. The two of them are slight of build, yet exceptionally quick, with the ability to ghost past players as if they weren't there.

There are few guarantees with a young player (so many have flattered to deceive), but it would be a major shock if Krkic didn't go on and become a major star in the game. He already has an incredible goal scoring record; he has hit the net over 500 times for Barcelona's various youth teams during his seven years at the club.

Having chosen to represent Spain over Serbia (his Father's country of birth), he finished as the joint leading scorer in the 2006 U17 Championship. That was despite the fact he spent much time on the bench. He can sign professionally for Barcelona when he turns 17; they had better make sure there are no delays!

Giovanni Dos Santos (17)

It seems Barcelona are trying to mould a younger version of their current starting eleven. While Krkic dribbles and dazzles like Messi, Giovani Dos Santos bears more than a passing resemblance to Ronaldinho. Both are attacking midfielders with tremendous skill, they also share similar haircuts and many other physical attributes.

It was the performance of Dos Santos during the 2005 FIFA U17 World Championship that really made people sit up and take notice. He sparkled for Mexico and was involved in most of their goals as they lifted the trophy for the first time. He was named as the second best player of the tournament, winning the Adidas Silver Ball, but most believed should have won the Golden one.

With many star players rumored to be exiting the Camp Nou in the summer, he might get a chance in the first team next season. Whether he will be playing alongside Ronaldinho, however, remains to be seen, as the Brazilian could be one of the big names departing!
