17 year old Raheem Sterling :bow:

I would add Draxler, Lamela, Muniain, Eriksen, Alaba, and Courtois as well.

With Shelvey and Xhaka with an outside shot.

by Bellabong Wed 31 Oct - 4:02:52

Anyone thinking about Xhaka haven't seen him in the BL have you?

He is flopping so hard at BMG I'm surprised he made this list. Significant stat to show how hard a time he's having: 1 yellow every two games in midfield.

by CBarca Wed 31 Oct - 4:07:14

Between Alaba, SES, and Gotze for me.

by Guest Wed 31 Oct - 4:23:13

Jese was best player and top scorer for the u19 Euros in 2012, is also the top scorer in Spain's Segunda division with 7 goals in 9 games.

Not as good as some others on the list but not bad for a young player.

As a kid Athletico made alot more sense.

juan jesus should be on this list. el shaarawy for me. but coutinho is the most talented one on the list.

funny how you didn't mention Chamberlain who's actually gonna be one of the biggest world class players in the future. And i'm saying this with complete unbias.

My vote goes to El Sharaawy, tho! That dude's super great.

And Sterling...overrated imo.

by El Gunner Wed 31 Oct - 13:23:32

What about Jordi Alba... How old's he?

by Forza Wed 31 Oct - 13:30:51

SES - top scorer in Serie A. :bow:

Varane's going to be like the best CB in the World.

by The Franchise Wed 31 Oct - 19:44:58

Yeah, I somehow doubt that. Young and all but he was getting the run around in that Dortmund game. Looked his age.

He has a ways to go.

If anything Chamberlain is overrated.

by Abramovich Wed 31 Oct - 20:11:55

Hands down the best footballer in that list is Alaba.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed 31 Oct - 20:25:46

Abramovich wrote:Hands down the best footballer in that list is Alaba.

More talented than Gotze, El Sharaawy etc etc?

I have my doubts he's a great talent but i'm not sure he has that special x-factor talent to carry a team on his shoulders like Gotze and El Sharaawy have proven to be able to do so.

Anyway it is between Alaba, Gotze or El Sharaawy for me maybe Isco too.

Those are the 4 that have impressed me the most and proven the most at the highest level over the year.

by Le Samourai Wed 31 Oct - 20:29:47

Isco and Munain banana

by Abramovich Wed 31 Oct - 20:31:06

He may have slightly less technical talents offensively, but his physical ability tagged along side his defensive skills makes him more complete as a footballer and the best for me.

He also has a great mentality, handling the pressures of Bayern and being the hope of Austria :bow:

that last international they did like he was involved in almost everything good for them. The guy beasts it out on all levels, he can also play on the wings, center mid and left back.

Mole I'm quite surprised you rate SES that highly as I had the idea you didn't.

As for Goetze I agree as aside from the obvious German bunch you first brought the hype into this forum anyway as since then I took an interest in him aside from the fact that he plays a lot like Baggio.

I'd also put Muniain in there as he has come through for Athletic many a times when the other players fail to.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Wed 31 Oct - 20:41:53

I honestly rated him Arq but since this season he's gone another few levels mentally and technically.

Carrying a club the size of Milan at that age has to be credited for.

On Munian i think he might fall short one of the big reasons being how poor Athletic have been this season and i think he might lose a few voters because of that.
