Well for an Arsenal fan it's fairly easy/simple with the youth team blogs and constant videos/compilations of the players.

City did post a lot of academy highlights and profiles at the start of the season. They've stopped doing it as much but you spot a few standout players.

That and reading posts from people who go to youth games on the City forum is where I get my opinions from.

I'd have to say, Suso, Wisdom, the two full-backs, Sterling and Dunn are probably the most exciting. Dunn in particular. He's still only at under-16 level, so not much can be said about him, but he's hit 25 goals from midfield already this season. He's a top talent.

I think Adorjan doesn't get the credit he deserves sometimes, his through-balls are sexual and his overall link-up play is one of the main reasons Sterling, Suso and Morgan are so effective, he draws defenders out of positions and puts them on the back foot.

I forgot about Ruben Rochina he's 19 fast as fuck and he can finish plays for our reserves and scored loads of goals for them.
Signed him from Barca for 1m but they have a buy back clause

I used to meet Milner loads seeing as he lived really near me and was always in the local Cricket Club. Played with him messing around at football a few times on the fields next to the club, he never tried at all then suddenly he would skin the whole team 3 times and unleash a screamer, then go back to chatting again. Been out with Aidan quite a few times as well, know him through some good friends.

Thats probably the most informative Arsenal blog about

LFCTV shows lots of reserves/U 18 matches, I know lots of the Liverpool lads on here are pretty keen on watching them when they're on.

Yer, when there nothing to do. Plus they show all the youth goals on the Tv a lot.

Cairney - Central midfielder. Was ace in the PL last season, although has been knocked back down to earth in Championship. Composed on the ball and knows how to pick out a pass. This guy is basically the same as Charlie Adam. Can pass, shoot from long range and take set pieces. Difference is, Cairney is 5 years younger than Adam.

Cooper - Centre back. Hasn't broke into the team and is currently on loan at Carlisle where he is doing well. He was given chances in the PL and did well. Especially against Arsenal when he came on. Will most likely come into the team next season if Gerrard or Hobbs don't sign permanently.

I watch the Arsenal reserves when they play at Underhill. Most of them are my age so it doesn't make me feel, as you say like a peed.

Even if you was 50 you shouldn't feel like a paedo anyway. Unless you are one..

Pogba CAM - Tall, strong, fast, great shot on him. We went through enough shit to get him and looks so promising. Only just turned 18 and looks great.

Morrison ST/LW/RW - Top class, as long as he keeps out of shit he'll go far.

William Keane ST - Good young talent and an eye for goal. Only 17 and already banging a few in for the reserves.

Tunnicliffe CM - Strong CM who puts himself about, Fergie rates him highly and was on the bench a few times in the FA cup.

Petrucci CM/CF - When playing in Roma he was tipped as the next Totti. Although he has suffered a lot of injuries in the last 2 seasons. Back now and in his first game back he got two assists.

Other players who look good -
Cofie
Thrope
Charni Ekangamene (Only getting a mention as I have him on PS3 )
Daehli - Only 16 and got bags of skill.

I think he's quality. Definitely one of the key players in the team at the moment, just plays that position that nobody seems to notice on the pitch.

Is he 16 now? Fuck me.

Unless you count Malecki who is 22, but I don't.

Our best prospect is Daniel Cyzio, and we have Michal Czekaj and Michal Chrapek who all look like future Ekstraklasa class players though.

Filip Kurto does look like a good goalkeeper prospect as well.

Kurto was class on FM10. The others never made it.

Looks like a proper number 7. Links up play well, and good infront off goal.

Yeah, defo. He's got a lot of potential, kind of good he doesn't get the attention others do. Less pressure on him then. Got high hopes for him.

Yes, which will mean he'll be in FM2012.

Only a few more years until you people will see him in action.

Paul Pogba -is a really good player strong on the ball and has a cracking shot

Ryan Tunnicliffe- Probably doesn't have a much technical ability as the best players but easily makes up for it in drivers and commintment

Ravel Morrison- Everyone knows about

Davide Petrucci- is a really exiting talent. He's be injured a lot so im not sure if he'll make it sadly. He has played well in his games in the last few weeks though.

John Cofie- Is a really powerful striker, will be interesting to see what he's like against "proper" footballers

Check FM11, Cyzio and Czekaj are quality.

Adam Thompson - 18 - 1 Northern Ireland cap, already holding up defensively, aerially and coming forward as a right back...pretty sure this lad had Premier League quality in him.

Marvin Sordell - 20 - Just turned 20, first season breaking into the first team and despite only being a regular for parts of the season (21 starts, 16 subs) he's notched up 10 goals and that's impressive as no other person 21 or younger has as many as him in this league. Impressed Liverpool scouts who were looking at Wickham earlier in the season. I reckon he could be a Premier League striker....if Graham is sold in the Summer we'll be hoping he can score 20.

Matt Winchelow - 19 - 3 starts, 12 subs and 3 goals...from a winger that's a pretty good return. He's got pace.....and lots of it....he's got trickery and a decent shot too. Could do with some height, but he's a promising talent anyway.

Sean Murray - 17 - Definitely our biggest talent. Not broke into the first team yet but he has been the star man in many academy and reserve matches. Manchester City wanted him but he decided to stick with us....too early to say but could be a class Premier League player.


Jonathan Bond - 17 - Already the Wales u21 goalkeeper......scored a goal against Russia for them . He doesn't get a look in for us because we have Loach but I'd say if Loach were to go he'd be the long term replacement. He might climb above our level though....

I know they are.

How the fuck could I forget Pogba? He's a fucking beast.

What about Abdi İbrahim? Is he any good zonked?

Was it Ibrahim that was given some 1st team start last season after being raved about?

Marvin wrote:What about Abdi İbrahim? Is he any good zonked?

Yeah, he's meant to be good. Forgot about him. Probably because he's on loan and with the first team, I was mostly focusing on academy players.

Saw him when he played against Liverpool, didn't look too out of place.

for the Wellington Phoenix our best youth prospect was Marco Rojas, then he left and went to Melbourne

now we have James Musa and thats basically it TBH. Pavlovic is pretty shit......

we also used to have Kosta Barbarouses, but we let him go to the Roar and well just ask GK01 (Sam) how good he has been

No doubt we'll let some youth players trial with us. Last season we had Sean Lovelock trial and he was bloody good in the pre-season match against Brisbane. He had bags of pace
