Under 21 World 11?

[Teso Dos Bichos]

Name the ones that you feel merit inclusion over those already listed above.

[Cassano]

The most successful national under 21 side of the past two years is Holland yet the only Dutch youngster who gets a (one, to be exact) mention is Drenthe. Says it all really.

It's because Drenthe is the most well known. All the other players can be great players but unless they are popular most people won't know them as they don't follow the team closely.

Just like me, I could name every Italian U21 player, but probably the only player people know around here is Giuseppe Rossi.

Doesn't necessarily mean they are worse than the players people are listing, just they are not well known.

Drenthe. Have you seen Kroos play?

[Dr. Know]

Yes, but isn't he more of a playmaker? Drenthe fits better as a left winger for my formation. And Drenthe has been very good for Madrid and was excellent with Holland winning the U-21 tournament and the best player award.

Yes, good point!

PSV midfielder Ibraim Aisatti and Vitesse keeper Piet Velthuizen, in any case.

It pisses me off how mario batoelli is underrated whenever it comes to best youngsters. If he was brazilian i bet many would say he is the next ronaldo. But since he ghanian-italian he is overlooked. Anyways its kind of sad that an 18 yr old is the best forward in milan (pato). Inter is slowly letting Batoelli up into the first team.

PS- by the time pato is 25 he is going to burnout (first team player for milan at 18 PATHETIC!!!!!:()

After having seen a bit of Mario Balotelli I am with you in your belief he will be a special player. He is right there with Pato. Both are incredible teenage talents. Balotelli looks pretty old for a 17 year old, but still looks to be Seria A ready, right now.

I'm with you on this one. I especially like the Vidal-Richards at the back. Also, with the system you're playing here, I'd have Alexis Sanchez as a winger back up for Aguero or Messi

Can Gareth Bale really play right-back?

Balotelli looks like a man-child out there totally holding his own and more for Inter...in Serie A of all leagues! That he could surface like that at 17 with all of Moratti's beloved trophy strikers ahead of him is amazing.
