Who Currently Has The Best Youngsters?

[Average Joe]

Was just looking at the Bayern Munich team and realised just how many good young players they have :

Toni Kroos - 20 - AM
Holger Badstuber - 21 - DL/CD
Breno - 20 - Cd
Muller - 20 - Amc/forward

I think all of these could be first team players pretty soon. They also cover a good varity of positions.

So what other teams do you think have a good set of players ready to breach the first team

 

[Midge]

man united

evans, rafael, fabio, smalling, cleverly, gibson, wellbeck, macheda, obertan

 

[Eds]

Probably Man Utd, although Arsenal have got Lansbury, Frimpong, Emmanuel-Thomas, Wilshere, Ramsey, Gibbs, Watt, Vela, Walcott, Eastmond, Nordveit and Eastmond.

 

[jbolas]

Arsenal.

 

[Dunc]

Crewe

Arsenal:
Frimpong (although injured)
Gibbs (does he count? at 20 he's the same age as Muller, and is a firm 2nd choice behind a quality LB in Clichy.. already has an England cap among Ashley Cole, Baines, Warnock etc.)
Wilshere (no explanation needed, possibly England's brightest talent atm)
Walcott (England regular, but has been disappointing lately in all honesty)
Sanchez Watt
Jay Emmanuel Thomas

 

[JDY]

Barcelona

Bojan, Jeffren, Jonathon Dos Santos, Thiago, Guy Assulin.

This.. Very impressed by Man Utd's youth, all have great potential, especially Cleverley and Fabio/Rafael.. But i think Arsenal nick it, our academy players are some of the best we've had for a while. Benik Afobe too...

 

[Billy]

Arsenal I think.

Since their entire team has been given the excuse that they are still young and developing.

 

[Chris]

Well, Newcastle aren't doing too bad:

Ranger, Kadar, Krul, Soderberg, Inman, Alnwick, Zamblera, Vuckic, Donaldson, Tozer, Adjei, Ferguson and Spear.

Maybe Gosling, Carroll and Forster as well.

Not the best but by far but all could play from League Two- Premier League in the future.

The best- Arsenal.

 

[Joss]

Jeffren is 22, and not that highly rated.. Jonothan Dos Santos isn't or wasn't as highly rated as his brother (look what happened to him..) Bojan is a quality young player, the best of the lot imo, and could well be the next Messi..

Cruzeiro

A few teams have excellent youth

Man City- Hart, Balotelli, Richards, Onouha, Michael Johnson, Adam Johnson, Weiss,

West Ham- Stanislas, Hines, Edgar, Sears,

Best for me is arsenal by far though- Frimpong, Emmanuel-Thomas, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Song, Denilson, Diaby, Fabregas etc
