His brother will be the real star.*
- that’s a guess.
Marco Rojas leaving Melbourne Victory to go to Europe, intended club unknown at this point, but he’ll do well.
The Central Coast Mariners trio of Trent Sainsbury (likely to go to Southampton) Matt Ryan (goalkeeper, could be on his way to Sheffield Utd) and Bernie Ibini Isei (Bruges) may not be going to huge clubs, but all have wonderful careers ahead of them.
[quote=“Il Bomber Destro, post: 755891, member: 1052”]A few Serie B players to keep an eye out for in the years to come. The first is Bruno Fernandes, he is an 18 year old Portuguese midfielder who looks like the new Rui Costa and plays for Novara. The second is Domenico Berrardi who is also 18 and plays as a striker for table toppers Sassuolo and has netted 10 goals this season. Both face off today in Serie B and both have netted with score at 2-2.

Bruno Fernandes has joined Udinese, I’ll be keeping an eye out for that lad as I think he’ll be a star.
Any Argentine football experts here?
Two young players that are much heralded at the moment are Manuel Lanzini of River Plate (20) and Leandro Paredes of Boca Juniors (19). They both seems to play in a similar positions (attacking midfielder/winger roles) and have both been linked with Roma in the past week. From my limited viewing on YouTube Paredes looks the bigger talent of the too and very similar to Erik Lamela in physique and style.
I would imagine Roma are more likely to end up with Lanzini however as he already holds an Italian passport and Roma should have good connections with River after signing Lamela off them a couple of seasons ago.

Andrea Belotti is a 19 year old striker who plays for Palermo (on loan from AlbinoLeffe). I’m after watching him bully the Belgian u-21 defence. He also seems to possess great awareness and composure.
Belotti with a last gasp winner for Palermo away at Siena tonight!

Argentinian press are reporting that Paredes will join Roma next season. I’d be thrilled with this.

Hat-trick for Berardi against Sampdoria today.
Belotti destroyed the huns u-21s tonight. Federico Viviani was also on target and was one of three Roma-owned players who started (Antei and Politano being the others). Daniele Baselli was very impressive tonight, he’s a holding midfielder who reminds me a lot of De Rossi - he’s been getting a lot of football for Atalanta this season so is one to look out for.
Victor Ibarbo who was one of my first tips in this thread also scored on his Colombia debut tonight as they skelped Belgium.
Patrick O’Shaughnessy.
Sent off for the Finland U-21s tonight against England. Time we brought this lad home.
two O’Shaughnessy brothers on Finnish u21 team tonight. Seemingly their dad is Irish
18 year old Jack Grealish will be a great talent for Ireland in the next few years.

Jimmy Garoppolo.
And another last gap winner at home to Novara today, he also scored the first. This kid is going to be a star.

Bruno Fernandes scored for Udinese against Napoli tonight.
His two goals against Novara last week - first is a cracker, the winner is another header he attacks with real power.

His winner against Siena was also a cracking header. Reminds me a lot of Bobo Vieri.
[quote=“Rudi, post: 756125, member: 1052”]They both scored screamers in yesterday’s match, Bruno Fernandes with the first for Novara and Berardi with Sassuolo’s first.
