Sommer is a great goalkeeper. He's keeping Roman Bürki out of the Austria goal.


30 years old but that is still young for a goalie. Got at least 5 years minimum left at the top level


Thing I've noticed about Sommer is that he is prone to errors.

Absolutely brilliant shot stopper and his reflexes are outstanding. He's shown as much to the world during international tournaments but he has that error in him which can cost you. Its probably why he's at Gladbach and not a bigger club.
 
I've mentioned him loads in various places throughout the season, but Pepe was outstanding again on Friday for Lille, great goal and two great assists. This boy is going to be the next big thing out of Ligue 1 IMO.

For a team as bad as Huddersfields, this is mightily impressive.

Imagine if he had GOOD players to pass to?

You could read that the other way though, those passing stats aren’t terribly impressive, and it’s hard to know if that’s down to him or influenced by those around him.

Huddersfield are a team that do see a reasonable amount of ball in many games (9th best for possession), but he’s not seeing much and his completion rate is piss poor.

He's quite high up on here.

I see your guy Ibrahim Sangare is too!
 
Here's a new one to add to the mix. Top 5 prospects in each position that you know of at lesser clubs than ours. Good to keep an eye on how these boys work out with a lot of ins possibly needed in the not too distant (trying to keep them all relatively young)

GK:
Alban Lafont (Fiorentena)
Andre Onana (Ajax)
Alex Meret (Napoli)
Thomas Strakosha (Lazio)
Gianluigi Donnarumma (AC Milan- the kids 19! Incredible really)

LB
Ryan Sessegnon (Fulham)
Arthur Zagre (PSG)
Ferland Mendy (Lyon)
Luca Pelligrini (Roma)
Jose Gaya (Valencia)

RB
Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Crystal Palace)
Benjamin Henrichs (Monaco)
Noussa Mazraoui (Ajax)
Achraf Hakimi (Dortmund on loan from Real Madrid)
Pedro Porro (Girona)

CB
Boubacar Kamara (Marseille)
Malang Sarr (Nice)
Eder Militao (Porto)
Evan N'Dicka (Frankfurt)
Dayot Upamecano (RB Leipzig)

DM
Sander Berge (Genk)
Amadou Diawara (Napoli)
Sandro Tonali (Brescia)
Arne Maier (Hertha Berlin)
Lucas Tousart (Lyon)

CM
Frankie De Jong (Ajax)
Riqui Puig (Barcelona)
Yacine Adli (PSG)
Fran Beltran (Celta Vigo)
Florian Neuhaus (Monchengladbach)

AM
Kai Haivertz (Leverkusen)
Brahim Diaz (Real Madrid)
David Brooks (Bournemouth)
Nicolas Pepe (Lille)
Giorgi Chakvetadze (Gent)

FWD
Moise Kean (Juventus)
Moussa Sylla (Monaco)
Luka Jovic (Frankfurt)
Matheus Cunha (RB Leipzig)
Patrick Cutrone (AC Milan)

The ones I'd absolutely love to see us go for are Berge, Tonali, Puig & Chakvetadze from what I've seen. I'd also be keeping tabs on Dani Ceballos over in Madrid for the rest of the year as I think he has bags of potential.
 
Felix Eboa Eboa over at Guingamp looks like one to watch.
Guingamp is an interesting growing ground for talent. It's a very small town with a fair bit of travel to the nearest big city. So very few distractions for the the players
 
Haven't seen odegaard play for ages and caught a part of the Heerenveen game tonight, looks to have matured a lot. Works hard, no primadonna stuff ...

Great goal by Edwards who was quite good too.

I d add Tielemans to the CM list, he s had a hard time at Monaco but is growing back to form, only 21 years old and almost 200 pro games. Can't see any other big Belgian talent coming through the ranks atm. Maybe Vanheusden at CB

Houssem Aouar's (Lyon) got to be on that CM list, still only 20.
 
Some good young CB's on the pitch in the Leipzig/Dortmund game tonight. Konate (19) looked very good, Upemecano (20 - Great name) good too, and Abdou Diallo (22) left footed CB looks very good too, having a good season.
