Do you think this guy can develop into a top defender?

[tutstuts]

Hey guys,
I used to play cm/fm about 10 years ago and i just felt like giving it a go again, so I'm not an expert.

I just signed up this little guy from OM, but I didn't realize until he arrived that his positioning is 3! and that sucks because he's a defender!
Do you think he can still develop enough? (to at least 15)

I'm not at all in a hurry to have him as a starter, I can wait until he's 23~24.

What do you guys think? Should I try to develop him?

Or I should buy this one:

they both had 3.5 stars report

Both will developing into about the same level of decent player. I think their physical attributes hold them back a lot. At 16 you have plenty of time for mental attributes, but 18 to like 25 are when you are in peak physical condition so they need a lot of work before then. Wont be your next Puyol or Pique

 

[Mr.Legendary]

Both look really good mate though not superb maybe they will be good back-ups

thanks for the tips!
who would you guys recommend for the future as a top quality center back?

 

[Alienman]

Phil Jones from Blackburn, Sebastian Coates and Jordan Spence all end up being top end center backs.

 

[Electrioneer]

Give time to Andreu Fontas (he's in the B-squad) and he will develop into a very good 3rd option in the centerback. He kicked out Milito out of the squad because of his performances and his cheap wage.

 

[Vance77]

Yep. Definitely Phil Jones. He turns out to be quality.
