I know, we have already a thread about the youth national team,
but this is the thread for the youth leagues in Germany.
Bayern and BVB have threads about their youth teams,
but the other teams also have youth teams.

So this is the thread to speak about the U19, U17 and younger leagues,
the most promising youngsters, youth cup competitions and so on.

Interesting. Is Manuel Fischer still playing in the youth league for Stuttgart?
I'd love to see some stats.

edit: btw: next season North and North-East division melt to one division,
so it´s crucial for the teams in these leagues to reach the top 6/7 this season.

Yes, he does.

VfB U19 team (http://www.vfb-stuttgart.de/teams/jugend_kader.php?jugendid=1300)

7 goals in 6 matches for him so far in U19 BL South.

In the South division there seem to be some talents this season,
e.g. Toni Kroos, who joined Bayern from Hansa Rostock last season this summer, class talent.
