Best Young 11

[Hazardinho]

The best young players:



Casillas

Ashley Cole --- Mexes --- O' Shea

Kaka --- Deco --- Aimar --- Quaresma

C Ronaldo --- Postiga --- Saviola



Little defensive power, but crazy offense.

Who else?

[Tmagic77]

How young is young? U-23? I'd wait on C. Ronaldo for now, everyone, it seems, has jumped on the bandwagon after his move to ManU, but I don't think he's lived up to the hype so far. I'm not saying he's not great, but he hasn't proved it to me yet.

[jonny]

And Postiga is not a good finisher..yet...maybe?

[steve hog]

Sorry Hazardinho I didnt mean to be a wanker, (calling you a fool), I just dont think ashley is either that great, or at all capable of playing right back. Perhaps Johnson, just moved from west ham to chelsea should be there!!

Tell me you're going with this on hearsay, and not by actually having seeing this clown play.

out of all the players you listed, he is by FAR the most overrated, and garbage player you have down.

Roma can't GIVE him away right now

[Jon Pall]

-Maicon---Mexes--Chivu--O'Shea

-Quaresma--Diego--Kaka-----C.Ronaldo

-------Saviola-------Rooney

Who is Calderon? You'd have to put Jose Antonio Reyes in there if Torres is there.

[MadridForLife]

I am not sure about each players role in the team, but I'll give my 442 regardless of role.

GK-Casillas

D-Mexes
D-Chivu
D-O'Shea
D-Terry

M-D'Allesandro
M-Aimar
M-Kaka
M-Robben

F-Martins
F-Saviola

No one has had Obafemi Martins of Inter yet, I think he is going to be amazing.

[Eagle Winged]

MadridForLife, nobody had meationed Martins because most of these guys wouldnt know a decent player if bit them on the arse. Imagine Martins with goals against AC Milan, Leverkusen and Arsenal in the champions league and a regular for Inter Milan, nowhere to be seen. While Rooney is in their starting lineup. Wonders shall never cease.
If Martins was European or American, you'd never hear the end of it.

[ChrisE]

Deco is not young at all.

Ive only seen him play 3 times, so Im not sure if Im in a position to say anything, but hes not that great. Sure, he has a blistering pace and is strong in the box, but he doesn't have much skill with the ball. Several times I have seen the ball just get away from him while he was dribbling down the sideline, and there was no pressure on him.

Cassano overrated? Let's see 3 or 4 years from now.

Roma's and u21 nationals De Rossi and D'Agostino are good.
De Rossi is a very very promising midfielder.
