February 7, 201115 yr What that lad needs to do is stay away from English coaching, keep playing, develop his team play and get signed up with a team like Barca and grow up being taught to use his skills effectively. Messi proves you don't really need tricks to get past players, but seeing them for me is what I like most, Okocha and Ronaldinho should be his personal trainers.

February 7, 201115 yr have you actually just wrote that? No I typed it Edited February 7, 201115 yr by Didledee
February 7, 201115 yr No I typed it Diddles has it spot on, the majority of English coaching is garbage at youth level, far too results driven compared to the continent whereby they lay a greater emphasis on mastering skills at a younger age... hence why the English national team are always found wanting at the very highest level - it's not coincidence!
February 7, 201115 yr did anyone else just watch that and want to put a foot through him. Cocky little shit! haha
February 7, 201115 yr Do you reckon he could master the intricate art of the long throw? Give him a week in the Big Sam Academy of Football and he'd be able to throw the ball further than Delap!
February 7, 201115 yr did anyone else just watch that and want to put a foot through him. The 6 year olds who play footy near us, would, and thats just the girls.
February 7, 201115 yr The 6 year olds who play footy near us, would, and thats just the girls. i am always totally transfixed by your avitar thingy.
February 7, 201115 yr get him groomed, owen Were well placed for a short term loan deal from his mum for a season.

February 8, 201115 yr The kid looks good, but like all these "New Ronaldo" "New Messi" and "New Maradona" types, he'll probbaly be garbage when he makes it to senior level.....like that Freddy Adu bloke who everybody used to rave about, who is now probably fucking around in the Portugese second division Edited February 8, 201115 yr by CWP
February 8, 201115 yr I don't know about that C. I recall a few years ago, and Casino probably also remembers, that when our wives played rounders together the kids used to go off playing three-and-in or small sided games. One kid, apart from being a year or two older than most of the others, was way beyond the level the rest were playing. Consequently he did all the dribbling through and jumping over tackles and stuff. I often ended up watching him play instead of the rounders game. The lad was Andy Kellett and has recently signed for Bolton at 16 years old. I don't see enough of him to make a judgement on whether or not he'll make it in the Prem but he's an absolute certainty for a career in football at whatever level he finds himself.
February 8, 201115 yr My headmaster at my primary school used to tell us about Joe Cole, he used to coach him and told us how he'll be an upcoming star, Joe wasn't even heard of back then. You don't see many English/British kids trying all the Joga Bonito stuff on the pitch. The best technique/skillful players are foreign, kick 'n rush football is boring, a lot of the 'hard' players try to main the talented players. Kids like this lad have a great future if they can cope with the physical side of the game and learn to become a team player and use his ability effectively and not aim to be on Soccer Am showboat each week. Upcoming skillful players like Neymar and Keirrason will become world class IMO, England only really produce different kinds of quality like Rooney for example, every now and again.
February 8, 201115 yr But standing still flicking the ball under your foot and passing it to the other foot never won games either.
February 8, 201115 yr Joe who? Is he still the future of the English game or have we given it up as a bad job now? As hype to achievement ratios go, he really takes some beating.
