Kriztian Nemeth. Turned 19 in January and has had a terrific season in the Liverpool reserves. Most Liverpool fans expect him to make the step up to the first team next season. Hard to say how good he will be because the reserve league is a much lower level but he certainly looks a talent.

Scored 9 goals in 5 apperances for Hungary U19s & 7 goals in 6 apperances for the U21s. He finished as Liverpools top scorer in the reserves this year with 8 goals from 9 apperances. He was named Liverpools reserve team player of the year 07/08.

Saw a bit of him at Palace this season where he was on loan. Has a fair bit to go from what I seen.

+1, lol, same goes for Bojan + Dos Santos.

Regarding Sinclair, Lloyd is right, hes not up there with the rest of em and seems to have a fair bit to do. Also, he wont get the same opportunities at Chelsea as he could at say Arsenal for example

EDIT: Although with a few players looking like they will leave the club, who knows

Tusky · 23-05-2008 05:13PM

Sergio Agüero - Athletico Madrid. 19 year old from Argentina.

Pepe LeFrits · 23-05-2008 05:32PM

Miralem Pjanic, 17, club next season to be decided - probably Lyon.

To be fair he was one to watch this season already, possibly the season before, serious talent this guy has!! one of my favorite players in the Spanish league at the mo

armour87 · 23-05-2008 05:38PM

Fair play to Aguero, last season I thought he was to light weight but he has really excelled this season.

For me though Benzema looks like the best young CF in the world.

Well hes still only 19 but I take your point.

eZe^ · 23-05-2008 06:43PM

Aguero is without doubt the most exciting young forward in the world at the moment... Atletico don't miss Torres at all, infact, they've been much better without him!

_blank_ · 23-05-2008 06:44PM

What about that Ramsay dude at Cardiff, isn't he on his way to ManU?

Unlikely to make the step up.

estebancambias · 23-05-2008 07:26PM

James McCarthy: Hamilton and Ireland.

Should have a few chances to see him next season considering ''Accies'' got promoted.

Here is a pretty non-evidentful clip of him in action vs Italy.

Yeah looking forward to seeing this guy in action. I read that he signed a contract with Hamilton for the next few years which I think is wise as I'd hate to see him get snapped up by a big club and just rot in the reserves. Hopefully he can get some experience under his belt in the SPL and maybe then move on next season if Hamilton go back down again.

Seriously him and the Connor Clifford guy at Chelsea are the players I'm really banking on making it. Obviously with McGeady and even Garvan.

I agree about McCarthy...theres no point going to down to Liverpool in the reserves with people like Danny Guthrie and the likes.

I think I posted this quote before about Luka Modric saying after playing playing in the Bosnian League he could play in any other league in the world.

This is what I invision the SPL will do for McCarthy...if he can cut it with the brainless hacks of the SPL at 17 then there is no telling what he could achieve.

I want him to play for another season with Hamilton and then hopfully be signed up by Celtic(Rangers won't buy him), get some Champions League experience and look to be getting out of Scotland at 21....

Perhaps if we make it, he could get into the world cup 2010 team, and that could act as the proverbial shop window for him. (Is that even a proverb? Maby more of a cliché)

hunter164 · 23-05-2008 08:00PM

If you're talking about Irish youths Robbie Brady is another one. He's with United and has already played a few reserve matches.

estebancambias · 23-05-2008 08:03PM

Thanks was that the guy with Kevins?

hunter164 · 23-05-2008 08:04PM

That's the chap.

Mikeyt086 · 23-05-2008 08:09PM

Anderson.

Great season this year, hopefully more games and goals next year.

I can see himself and Hargreaves cementing themselves as first choice central midfield pairing

hunter164 · 23-05-2008 08:19PM

Lucas.

He wasn't great last season but he was adapting to the Prem. Hopefully we'll see more of him next year and he will have adapted.

He had a fantastic season for a 19 year old. He played like an experienced player of 25-30. He adapted to the English game immediatly. Imagine what he could do over the next few seasons. Very exciting!

Galvasean · 23-05-2008 08:47PM

Theo Walcott.

Now before everyone says 'WTF?!!?' just remember he had a great finalé to the end of the season. If he can keep up the form for next season he could be a leading Premier League star.

Mr.Nice Guy · 23-05-2008 09:04PM

Here's another one. Stevan Jovetic, 18 years old...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5To73oF9TZY

I remember him being linked with United at one point as he was top scorer in the Serbian league. Fiorentina snapped him up this month for £5m from Partizan Belgrade. The bad news from an Irish perspective is that he plays for Montenegro. Wikipedia says he captained their U-21 side aged just 17.

Will be interesting to see how he gets on as clearly a lot of people think he's pretty special.
