ifiwasarichfan said:From his posts both about defensive options and this one it seems clear to me that Ricster seems to know his stuff and is not your typical " Blue Moon" " Championship Manager" lets go for this guy type poster. This view is also re - inforced by the debate - like quality of his arguements for and against each individual player.
I think MH will call it quits when Adebayor finally signs and I really cant see him taking a " Risk" just yet on a young Defender without any Premiership experience.
However; I would be really interested in Rickster's opinion of any hard -working WIDE midfielder types that are up and coming. Think Pineear, Milner type players but obviously of a much higher standard. I would also like his opinion on any young Elano -type midfielder; just in case we are unable to keep him at the Club, although I get the feeling that he wants to stay, MH wants him to stay and so do the fans.
Well if we are talking about up and coming players, i did mention Adem Ljacic in September last year on mancityblues.com that i also post on. Before Fergie said anything in the press. He for me was the stand out talent back then. Others with a bright future would be,
Henri Saivet, most people have heard about this youngster, but he is being touted as the next Henry, who also started his career as a wide player. Saivet plays for Bordeaux in France. He has made a sub appearance last season for the first team, but the Bordeaux management are trying to nurture this lad, which i think is the correct thing to do. Alot of people think the lad is French, as he has played for his country at youth levels, but he is actually Senegalese. He wont be in France for long, to many people know about him.
Fabio Coentrao, this is the only other younster i can think of that wets my appetite. Less of a worker and more of a flair player. But when he turns it on, boy does he turn it on. He can play on both flanks and is a natural on the ball. Benfica have done the right thing in loaning him out to gain some first team experience. Hate to say it, but could seriously be the nearest prospect to be as good as Cristiano Ronaldo Check this vid for an example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gm97bA4_aqk Check out 58 seconds, it still leave's me in awe.
