Not saying they are all going to be great players, but i do think a couple of these players got the potential to become great players.

Omar Gonzalez. Should go to Europe, IMO.
A.J. De La Garza
Agudelo

Alexander Gonzalez, Juan Guerra, Fernando Aristeguieta and several others I can't remember.

There's also Marlon Bastardo, who I don't know much of, but with a badass name like that you know he'll make Messi his bitch one day.

Mexico

Let's see there's Reyes, Ponce, and Medina.

Canada:

[Bunch of my high school buddies from 3 years ago]

Carlos Luque: left wing attacker for Colon (18)
Lucas Ocampos: midfielder for River Plate (17)
German Pezzella: Defender for River Plate (20)
Bruno Zuculini: Racing midfielder (18)
Araujo: boca juniors attacker (19)
Matias Laba: argentinos junior mid (19)

problem is that our young talent actually gets taken at around these ages so its hard to find a bunch in the league...lamela, iturbe, fernandez for instance

Brek Shea (21 years old, FC Dallas, LW)
Bill Hamid (20 years old, DC United, GK)
Juan Agudelo (18 years old, New York Red Bulls, ST)

Other prospects like Danny Mwanga, Teal Bunbury, Perry Kitchen ain't bad either.

Full name Germán Alejo Pezzella
Date of birth June 27, 1991 (age 20)
Place of birth Bahia Blanca, Argentina
Height 1.82 m (5 ft 11 1⁄2 in)
Playing position Centre back

Has yet to play for River Plate's senior side but he is looking like the brightest defending talent coming out of Argentina since Ayala tbh.

Captains the u-20 Argentina side and has been playing regularly with the youth national teams. Fantastic in the air, composed on the ball, tackles very well and has a good reading of the game.

I know Barrilete and I have been raving about this kid since the u-20 world cup, but he could be a great defender and hopefully he can be the leader at the back that Argentina have been desperate for.

lol

uh

lol

Adit from india

Omar Gonzalez
AJ Delagarza
Jack Mcbean
Brek Shea
Juan Agudelo

Mario Fernandes (RB, 21, Grêmio)
Douglas (RB, 21, Goiás)
Rafael Toloi (CB, 21, Goiás)
Danilo (RB/DM, 20, signed for Porto)
Bruno Cortês LB (25, Botafogo)
Oscar (AM, 20, Internacional)
Rafael (GK, 21, Santos)
Casemiro (CM/DM, 20, São Paulo)
Fernando (DM, 19, Grêmio)
Leandro Damião (CF, 22, Internacional)
Manoel (CB, 21, Atlético Paranaense)
Rômulo (DM, 21, Vasco)
Dedé (CB, 23, Vasco)
Saimon (CB, 20, Grêmio)
Fillipe Souto (CM, 20, Atlético Mineiro)
Bernard (AM, 19, Atlético Mineiro)
Luiz Eduardo (CB, 20, São Paulo)

Let's talk BL goalkeepers. Zieler (22) and Ulreich (23) don't qualify anymore, but we have the following fresh talents:

- Marc-André ter Stegen (19, Borussia M'gladbach, GER, U21 NT)
- Bernd Leno (19, Bayer Leverkusen, GER, U19 NT)
- Lars Unnerstall (21, Schalke, GER)
- Oliver Baumann (21, SC Freiburg, GER, U21 NT)
- Kevin Trapp (21, Kaiserslautern, GER, U21 NT)

All of them are not only the current first choice keepers in their teams (Okay, Unnerstall is only standing in for the injured 23 year old Ralf Fährmann, but he does a helluva good job right now), but they are also German and thus could be eligible for the German NT within time. If there is one job where we don't have to worry in future, it is GK.

no Lucas Moura??

In Australia we have...

Mustafa Amini (19, CM CAM) signed by Borussia Dortmund but sent back to Australia to develop on loan at the club they signed him from

Michael Marrone (23, RB) trialled at Cagliari and was meant to be signed but half way through trial new coach came in and didnt want him

He doesn't play in AUS but Tommy Oar, amazing talent for Utrecht. Started extremely well in eredivise early but has faded a little. Amazing player

Yeah, Kloppo sounded pretty enthusiastic about Amini.

BTW, you have another great prospect playing at Dortmund (unfortunately not often enough in the first team, but he looked really good again as starter in the last match in the DFB Pokal): Mitch Langerak. Okay, he is "already" 23, but then, for a goalkeeper that isn't a high age either.

Yeah I was going to mention Mitch Langerak. I've seen him live few times when he played here. Really good keeper. I keep a close eye on him, his played a few times. I was really excited when he got his chance last season and played against bayern on his debut.

"Born in Sydney, Australia to an Afghan father and a mother of Nicaraguan background, Amini grew up in the Western Sydney area. " says Wikipedia.

BTW, in Germany he already got affectionately nicknamed "Pumuckl" due to his red hair

Spoiler:

Lol so you guys over there already know him well? I Havnt seen that much of him . He's injured at the moment and hasn't played season yet but last season he set the league alight towards the end. How highly do u guys rate Langerak? Also have you heard of Nikita Rukavytsa? Made his debut last week for hertha. Alot of talents going over to Germany. Leckie to gladbach. Kruse to dusseldorf.
We have a guy called Thomas broich playing here. Apparently Germans thought he was going to be the next star years back

Well, Amini got a lot of media attention, and of course I researched a bit then. What I saw really looked good so far.

And Langerak is highly regarded. He just has the problem that he is behind Roman Weidenfeller in the pecking order. Weidenfeller is a highly regarded keeper here, too, and many people think he should be inthe German NT, too. The drawback is that there are just not too many high profile GK jobs around. I think Langerak will make his way. Weidenfeller is 31 now, and Kloppo already said he wanted to give Langerak more playing time, if possible, as he excels during training.

As RWO was still in the 2nd BL last season, I saw quite a bit of Rukavytsya when he played in the 2nd BL at Hertha. He looked pretty good there and was a regular starter. He was among the players responsible for Hertha's immediate promotion to the 1st BL again with 4 goals and 12 assists.

On the subject of talent in Germany, does anyone know how Dale Jennings is doing at Bayern? I assume he's in their youth and second team set-ups. He was quite the talent when playing for Tranmere Rovers last year.

Anyway, as one would expect there a few talents coming through in the Premier League, most of whom you'll know about:

Wocjceich Szczesny - GK (Arsenal/Poland)
David De Gea - GK (Man Utd/Spain)
Phil Jones - CB (Man Utd/England)
Chris Smalling - CB (Man Utd/England)
Martin Kelly - RB (Liverpool/England)
Kyle Walker - RB (Spurs/England)
Sandro - DM/CM (Spurs/Brazil)
Aaron Ramsey - CM (Arsenal/Wales)
Jack Wilshere - CM/AM (Arsenal/England)
Barry Bannan - CM (Aston Villa/Scotland)
Ross Barkley - CM (Everton/England)
Josh McEachran - CM (Chelsea/England)
Jordan Henderson - CM/RM/AM/RW (Liverpool/England)
Tom Cleverly - CM/LM/RM/AM/LW/RW (Man Utd/England)
Maruo Formica - AM (Blackburn/Argentina)
Marc Albrighton - RM/RW (Aston Villa/England)
Junior Hoillet - LW/RW (Blackburn/Canada)
Scott Sinclair - LW/RW (Swansea/England)
Mario Balotelli - ST (Man City/Italy)
Daniel Sturridge - ST (Chelsea/England)
Danny Welbeck - ST (Man Utd/England)
Andy Carroll - ST (Liverpool/England)

That's off the top of my head. There are probably a few more.

Xherdan Shaqiri and Granit Xhaka [Basel]

Shaqiri is one of most wanted youngsters in Europe and Xhaka is as talented as him.

Both are Albanian
