Good news. He will probably stay loaned out this season at Hoffe though. Really liked him for Austria.

He has had a really good game for Austria against Germany, thats really good news on the long turn

He's been great for the Hoff, too. He's the future Schweinsteiger, in my eyes.

If we sign Vidal I will like for him to go to leversuken on loan, and Usami on loan to schalke so they can both experience top European football.

Forget Neymar and other overrated and media hyped players. David Alaba is the real deal. There is no player in the world at the moment that matches his level of skill and talent. David Alaba is on a steep incline and it looks very scary how good he will be in the next years.

His one of the fastest Passer in the world at the moment, I think he will be much better as a CM than Wing position.

Jupp has already said his the best Talent in Bayern the next big thing that can reach Ribery or Robben level and if you watch how Alaba plays you will know that Jupp knowns exactly what his saying

One more thing his determination to win is just beyond me for a player of his age and his so driven.

His anticipation is also good, he has all the attribute to play as a DM, CM, LM, RM, LW, RW, ATM, OR even LB

Sometimes his just to fast that other players dont under some of his move, but I guess by the time they have played together for a long time he'll be fully understood, another Talent is Usami I rate him on thesame level with Alaba.

Alaba is cool for now. he needs to get more mature but the talent is there.Usami will succeed 100% if he'll have no stamina problems later

He need stop watching Justin Bieber.

The promising midfielder was blown away after receiving the award as he became the youngster player ever to win it, leaving Nacer Barazite and Martin Harnik in his wake

Bayern Munich's 19-year-old sensation David Alaba has been crowned the Austrian Footballer of the Year for 2011.

The midfielder edged Nacer Barazite to the prize courtesy of a single point in a poll by news agency APA conducted among 10 coaches from the Austrian Bundesliga. The top three was rounded off by Stuttgart attacker Martin Harnik.

Alaba becomes the youngest player ever to win the award and he was over the moon after the announcement.

"This is a huge honor for me, I'm totally surprised," Alaba said according to Kicker.

The teenager recently broke into Bayern Munich's first team, appearing in 22 games for the Bavarians this season, scoring three goals. He also cemented his place in the national side, appearing in 15 matches for Marcel Koller's outfit.

"[Alaba is] a player who in training tries to improve every day. This award will spur him to make the next step in his career," said his coach at club level Jupp Heynckes.

Bayern Munich president Karl-Heinz Rummenigge also praised the youngster and predicted a bright future for him.

"I think he is a very good choice [for Austrian Footballer of The Year]. He has progressed extremely well at Bayern Munich, and we trust he will have a great future."

Bayern Munich are building a deadly team for the future, next season Reus will join.

Their pool of talent really must be mehesque

Austria football federation should be ashamed

Arnautovic and Dragovic are the only others I know lolol.

Alaba is highly under-rated and so is Kroos(Probably the best under 23 player at the moment)

u seem to want to tell the world that Kroos is good eh?

Soon the world will know how good Kroos is

Austrians compared to big brother are so weak in the talent pool of footballers

saw kroos at 2007 U-17 fifa comp.

knew he would be a hit

they have Bruno

Arnautovic... He is like a mix of Ronaldo and Ibra along with all the ego but none of the consistency.

Plus, winning Austrian player of the year isn't a big feat considering Austria has as much talent these days as a somalian pirate ship.

Come on Guys, give some credit.


Austria held their ground against Germany, didn't roll over as much as Holland

They also held their ground against Spain.


COME ON GUYS GIVE CREDIT TO THE YOUNG MAN....

alaba is good, but this isnt anything big. if anything he'll be getting plenty more of these

when your best player is a glorified benchwarmer you should be worried...

Well, in the match Austria-Germany, Alaba actually managed to nutmeg Philipp Lahm more than once. It was a pretty impressive performance, if you ask me. (It was cute that the Bayern players in the German NT were the first ones to congratulate Alaba for his great performance then).
