once rated higher than the likes of Benzema. How things can go wrong without proper guidance
Whats the crack with this video? Who is it? The highest rated teenage youtuber of 2005?
Video too long. What's happened to him? Has he announced he's signing for Manchester United?
Never heard of him before.
Tried watching the video and can't really make head nor tail of it. Mind you I did start skipping bits when he started changing up languages.
Looks like Atletico didn't exactly keep him for long though as per his wikipedia page. Just one season in the B team before they moved him on to a Serbian side. Did they soon decide he wasn't going to be good enough?
From the same wiki page I see that he did eventually get a couple of full caps for Ghana many years later. That's a nice redemption arc or whatever you call it.

I remember years ago there was a kid at Arsenal I think it was called Rocket Pele (Great name btw) and he was hyped as the next big superstar in the papers, I'm sure he was about 10 at the time.
Predictably, every video was of him being a greedy feck and not passing.
Never heard of him since.

We had that Australian kid that there was a lot of talk about, Rhain Davis. He had a few youtube videos of him too. After getting released by United he was with the Altrincham reserve team for a while and now plays for West Disbury & Chorlton in the North West Counties League.
City have just signed a 14 year-old American, Cavan Sullivan. His older brother apparently plays in the MLS.

Incoming Freddy Adu post in 3,2,1...
I actually remember him. he was in Atl. Madrid B/youth team in patched version of FM2008. never played long enough to see how good he becomes.
I’ve always been a huge fan of Kermit Erasmus.
Kerlon at 26! I remember his "seal dribble" videos. Strangest trademark skill I've ever seen.
Basically the go to transfer list on FM2005.
Lulinha was awesome on some saves I had on that game.
We don’t have enough “wonderkids” coming through anymore. It was one every month once upon a time.
He played for Ghana and even scored, that's a higher level than 99.9% of amateur players will ever reach...
Ando in 4th
More exciting than Bale, Aguero, DiMaria, Benzema, Kroos, Mata, Ozil, Sanchez, Rakitic, Walcott and Big Meeks.
Kinda a shame he wasn’t better than them all too!
That's one way to deal with it
Yep. Henri Saivet from that list was great for me in one of those games.
That list seems to be vaguely alphabetical.
Definitely seems like Sadick move by FIFA.
It also shows how many opinions can be oh so wrong all the time
Yeah, Saivet, Nazarit and Van Der Wiel. Good times.That's one way to deal with it

Makes me want to play FM again, but with wfh I daren't even go down that rabbit hole.
