TH.TV scouting thread

[basskadet]

I thought I would start a thread for all us budding young scouts to post any up & coming talent that we've spotted who we feel might do a job at Spurs.

Just to kick things off, after watching a couple U19 games tonight 2 players really stood out a country mile.



The 1st is a young CB named Milan Milanovic. He plays for Locomotiv Moscow & is 18 and 6ft 4.5in tall, so nothing gets over him!! However, he was very quick & showed a good touch on the ball but even had a great eye for goal!

He was born in Kosovo but plays for Serbia, so would no doubt settle in well alongside Corluka.

He played for Serbia's U19's tonight against Spain U19 & not only was the best defender on the field but was the best striker also scoring both Serbia's goals in their 2-1 victory!!

The 1st was a real striker's finish. The ball had been spilled by the keeper but was traveling at pace & he showed great reactions to not only get on the end of it but direct it into the net also.

The 2nd was much better tho & demonstrated his strength in the air with a real powerful header that would have beaten most keepers in the Premiership.




The other player who looked very good was Ukraine's U19 captain, Kyrylo Petrov. He is 19, is a central-midfielder & plays for Dynamo Kiev but that is about all I can tell you about him. He seemed to play a more attacking role, not unlike Steven Gerrard might play.

However, his performance tonight was exemplary & he really carried his team, virtually on his own at times, against England U19s tonight. It has to be said that our Young Lions had no idea how to deal with him & sat further & further off him. He scored Ukraine's 1st goal with a superb finish but his team ten seemed to fall to pieces as England were all over them, went ahead with 2 goals & completely dominated until the last half an hour.

This lad then just took the game over. He bagged himself a second goal with a neat header to equalise for Ukraine and then went on to give England absolute hell.

It was a real leaders performance from such a young kid &, by playing so well, he got the rest of his team playing. He's defenitely 1 to keep an eye on as this tournament progresses.

[wilky4uk]

got to agree with Petrov, watched the game tonight and he was fantastic, a performance beyond his years

hard to pick those less obvious, Delph for example
I like Jack Cork, young CB always seems to perform well in England U18/19/21 games

[basskadet]

What did you think of our Kyle Walker tonight Wilky?

I thought he actually played very well in general but made 2 or 3 howling errors. However, they were basically all down to lack of experience rather than any lack of talent & at times he showed great speed, strength & maturity, even with a nosebleed!!Lol

I'm gonna keep my eye on Petrov I reckon when they play the Swiss. I hope he shows it weren't a 1 off

[thfcire]

bass any chance of looking at some irish players ,my dad is stuck for a few quid hee heee

[Prem4eva]

Watching the Barcalona game today, was hugely impressed with Gai Assulin, thought he was really good on the left side,

Also I think you mentioned him a while ago Bass, but a kid called Alan Dzagoev is really handy and he definitely knows where the goal is, 19 and already has 3 full Russia caps as well. (also he is good on FM lol)

[NundyYido]

i like this, there should be a new area for scouted players from the fans

[CmonyouSpurs]

Danijel Aleksic came on as a late substitute today for Serbia so didn't have time to show his skill, but I'd keep an eye out for him if I were you. He seems to have some pure striker's instincts. The 18 year old has been in Vojvodina's first team ever since 2007 and has played 36 games, scoring 6 goals. Apparently the likes of Real Madrid and Villareal were interested in him, but Aleksic said he'd prefer to move to the Bundesliga or to the Eredivisie for now.

34 Games , 4 Goals

YouTube - eden hazard- the best talent in the world

YouTube - Eden Hazard show Vs Lyon

Eden Hazard is an 18 year old Belgium International Midfielder.

He is currently playing regularly for the Lille team.

I could see him being the replacement for Jenas and would make a fantastic partner for Palacios one day.

Player 3

Name: Marco Andreolli

Age: 23

Club : Roma

Scout Valuation : 6 Million

Sassualo : Loan , 33 Appearances

YouTube - Marco Andreolli - one of the best young central defender

YouTube - Marco Andreolli

Marco is a 23 year old defender known to be the next Maldini, already at 23 has struggled to find a starting spot in the roma line-up.

Roma sent him on loan to Sassualo where he went to make 33 Appearances.

With the current woodgate, Dawson and King situation , Andreolli might be able to secure a regular spot at the lane.

He is tall coming in at a huge 6"4ft high, great arial abilliy and can tackle well.

This is My Scout Report

[spurs2rise]

Great reports Nundy!

[NundyYido]

thanks

[basskadet]

A player I thought was excellent last season was Shakhtar Donestk's Dmytro Chyhrynskiy. He's 22 and he would be an excellent solution to our current CB 'crisis'.

He is already vice captain of Shakhtar & was 1 of their star players in their UEFA Cup winning side of last season. I had seen & heard good stuff about him but we all got a good look at him when Spurs took on Shakhtar over 2 legs of that same competition.

He is very strong & would cope with the prem no problem & e already has 18 caps for his country. Tall, quick & reliable, he reminds me a bit of our own Woodgate, altho it could just be the long hair! Lol.

I think he will be sold very soon tho & Barcelona looks a likely destination, I would love us to nick in there tho

I have to say, Nundy, that Eden Hazard is a good one btw. He has been very good for Lille & is definitely a future star if he continues to progress. It would be good to have him at Spurs, if only because we can call him "Micky"!!

[Prem4eva]

Yeah, sensational reporting Nundy, very professional looking,

A player I've noticed in the Italian league and recieving a lot of Hype is Fabiano Santacroce, really decent CB who has started to be called the new "Alessandro Nesta", At Napoli now, but apparently being looked at by the top italian clubs, wouldn't mind someone like nesta at Spurs lol,

Also a striker called Gulherme, I'll admit I first saw him on FM, but he is top quality in real life, had a great scoring record at cruzerio and then went to Dynamo Kviv not too long ago and has scored 3 in 3.

[NundyYido]

Dunno if any of you to have seen santon for Inter Milan , he is about 19-20 , he is like Jonny evans at united. but a better player. ill put report of him

Nundy Reccomendation

Name: Davide Santon

Age: 18

Height ; 6 Ft 1"

Position : Defender

Club : Inter Milan

Scout Value : 10 Million

YouTube - Davide Santon The Next Maldini

YouTube - Davide Santon 39 - The Next Big Thing In World Football

Davide Santon is name the Next Maldini around Milan.

His fantastic tackling and heading was proven to many brittish viewers when he played both legs of Champions League Semi Final Versus Inter Milan

He is a tall young defender who is being watched by Real Madrid and Barcelona.

I personally think due to his age and eagerness to play he would leave to a club of reasonable size to play regular football

Baaskadet Reccomendation

Name: Edwin Cardona

Age: 16

Position: Midfielder

Height : 6Ft

Club : Atletico Nacional

Scout Valuation : £3-6 Million

6 Appearances 1 Goal

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0CmeCMJAkI

Cardona was reccomended to me from Baas. He is a Young Midfielder who under Clive Allen and the better Facillities could one day become a great player.

I think at 16 Nacional would still ask for 3-6 Million , due to him have such potential like Fedrico Macheda at Manchester United.

Would love to see him in the Spurs team of the Future.

Rose-Taarabt-Cardona-Bostock

Class

[tdw76]

i have to agree with you nundy, santon is brilliant (my opinion is purely based on FM tho lol)

[basskadet]

Just to add a couple things about Cardona,

He's listed as a midfielder but can play as a striker too & he was top scorer at South America's "Sub-17" Tournament by scoring 7 goals in 7 games & he was the main reason Colombia qualified for FIFA's U17 World Cup this year.

Another kid that looks set for a big future is Ghana's David Addy. I don't know much about him except that I saw him playing for Ghana & he looked really bright, great going forward but solid defensively also. He is only 19 & already has several full international caps to his name. He plays LB but can play further forward in midfield too & last year he won Ghana's Young Player of the Year award.

Another Ghanian with a bright future is Eric Bekoe, a 20yr old striker who we were actually linked with no too long ago.
