    Just wondering, how did you find this? Googling Gloster and Soto popped up?

    If it's not that I'm reporting you for wizardry.

    In all honesty, I looked at Soto's twitter. Not much on there but he did have a link to his Instagram. Nothing recent on there either but I looked at posts he had been tagged in. In the last couple days, he had been tagged in a couple pics from the tournament. That gave me the suspicion that he had played there for Hannover, so I started looking for more info and found the video (couldn't see if Soto was there or not) and finally the news article.

    That's some quality stalking.

    There should be a German word for being somewhat proud but also embarrassed at the same time.

    This is also the reason that when my wife asks me what I'm doing on the computer I say "nothing".

    This was in (youth) league competition, I believe. Does that suggest that the move is official in at least some form?

    He's listed as playing 90 minutes, along with Gloster, in the club's match report.

    This would seem to be the case. Bundesliga requires new players to be registered in the two windows for their youth leagues. Can't imagine they'd be cool with guest players being involved in any official competitions.

    Hannover doesn't really promote many U19 players to the 1st team and stats aren't everything for them as well.

    Last season, Hannover U19's main striker, the Austrian Mark Grosse.
    scored 20 goals and 4 assists in 24 games

    and even then Grosse ended up in the reserves. It's one of those numerous clubs that are more likely to put players in II over 1st team.

    Let's change this title to, "Sebastian Soto at Hannover 96". As @Dave Marino-Nachison mentioned you have to be registered to play in official youth competitions which most likely means Soto is now a registered Hannover player.

    And here we go, I'd treat this like a confirmation although it was pretty clear already:



    BigSoccer again showed why it's so great. This whole Soto situation was pretty much all unearthed by the guys over here. Showing our true investigative nature yet again.

    I knew I had seen it before, but it appears that it *is* possible to play in an "official" youth competition as an unregistered player:



    Now, it doesn't mean that this is the case in Germany, but it's not a universal rule. I found the FA rules that say that a trialist can go to another youth club and play up to 2 matches with his registered club's approval, but it wasn't clear as to what it meant by a "competitive match."

    Again, probably doesn't apply, unless someone wants to dig into the DFB rules, but it's a good point to remember.

    Yes, I recall Danny Barbir playing a few official youth league matches for Stoke's U23 team while on trial.

    I don't recall anyone ever doing that for a German club. That doesn't constitute proof that a trialist can't play in a U19 Bundesliga game. However, this board collectively spends so much time monitoring U19 Bundesliga games because there are so many YAs there, that you'd think we'd find a YA trialing in a U19 Bundesliga game or a YA playing in a U19 Bundesliga game alongside a trialist at some point, were this possible in Germany.

    Not saying it is, but it's reminder that these kind of rules are league specific and it helps to know the rules of that competition before making a generalization.

    I'm not sure about his speed/quickness in the box, which might hurt him when he's trying to create his own shot in tight space, but his hold-up and link-up play is quality. He's very smooth on the ball. And he scored an insane number of goals in the DA last year so he can find the back of the net. It's not saying much and he may end up failing, but outside of Sargent and Weah he's our best young striker.

    How good is that Brazilian-American forward, that is signing with Milan?
