Young England Midfielders

who was last italian youth player in liverpool

i can remember 1 guy but forget his name

for main english base i know macheda, very good skillful powerful, big future...i also know borini, very fast, good finisher, good leader, decent future and also some random guys in west ham and aston villa but thats all

davide petrucci, great skills, great talent but maybe to many injuries, maybe wont being big success and some other dudes in man u academy that they stolen from italy

also mannone but he is a big suck

We had Padelli. He was poor.

I can't remember many Italian youths at the moment

We were linked with Marco Verratti a year ago I think... Don't know if that was us though.

Borini has no chance IMO

Zeli Ismail.

and why do you have our new signing as your sig?

how much did you have to pay Wolves for him on FM?

Maybe I'm missing the point but that player doesn't look very good at all. Fast, but for 18 he's way too lacking generally.

Borini IMO has the potential too be the next Inzaghi type striker.

Ancelotti just has some personal hatred for him though

Probably wants him out so he can bring his bumchum Pato in. Not that I'm complaining if he came

Petrucci's been unlucky with his injurys but Gerrard & others missed a lot of football at this age so It might not be that bad.
He's back doing some training now as well.

you are missing the point if FM ratings are your barometer for players you are unaware of.

when i used to play CM andy Marshall became a mainstay in the England net!

Isaac Okoronkwo, Ibrahim Said, Emanuel Olisadebe & Johan Elmander all won World Player of the year! and all played for Wolves. Taribo West was World Class on it and Julius agahowa (sp?) was amazing!

i think Mal was just showing that he'd signed Ismail is all.

Back to young english midfield...it would be nice to see them playing something like this:

Championship player if you ask me. Not good enough for the International squad thats for sure.

I know that FM is unpredictable/unrealistic at times.

I've seen it all.....Emile Mpenza used to be the guy who lead me to European glory on CM 01/02

well in real life, you can ask any Wolves fan and they will tell you that Zeli Ismail is hot property and the hype surrounding him is unprecedented in a youth team which in recent years has developed Robbie Keane, Jolean Lescott & Matt Murray. Murray is probably the best product of the academy to date - his injuries prevented him from fulfilling his potential as the best GK in England!

Cleverley springs to mind as just one player who should be ahead of Moses in that position

Sturridge will be playing on the left

That's a bit presumptuous.

Also Robbie Keane and Lescott are hardly that recent are they

more recent than Alan Sunderland or Peter Knowles!

it's not presumptuous at all. anyone who ever saw him play would assume it to be true!

Better option than Moses, that's for sure

Kelly RB

Cleverly

Boring...

adam hammill

I only put Moses because he has pace, technical abilities and gives something different that just crossing. But I forgot about Sturridge who is simply a monster so yeah he will easily take over that spot.


For striker, Nathan Delfouneso looks a bright talent, perfect target man with pace and good shot. Was watching him play against Birmingham couple of weeks ago and his link up play was very good and he seems like a true poacher.

I don't get what the deal is with Delfouneso, almost every time I've watched him play he was just a ghost and contributed nothing.

Andy Carroll

Carrol is beast, but I think he's limited. If Wilshere is going to be played deep in midfield in the 4231 then Delfouneso is a better option but if Wilshere is pretty much like the second striker then Carroll is a good choice.

How is Carrol limited, what does he lack?

Also what club does Delfounenso play for?

Carroll is shit.

Benik Afobe up front. Next 'fat' Ronaldo IMO.

Huddlestone-rodwell is shit.

McEachran rodwell
Albrighton Rooney Wilshere
Carroll

Pace, pace pace compared to Delf. And Delfouneso plays for Aston Villa.
