Even I am not completely convinced with my list... its a decent 1st attempt to get everyone started... may end up changing a few names.... still reconsidering Marin, Wilshere, Santon, Walcott, Krkic...

I would love to see your list, mate.... 25 naturalised germans? Razz

I have no idea on 25 prospects. But everyone is sleeping on Jonathan Reis, the kid has tremendous skills and potential. Seems like a well rounded striker to me already.

Lukaku gets vastly overrated on here, and with respect it not like any of you ever follows the Belgian league or their NT. He is talented but is having a bit of an off season so far. Do think he is talented, but not the best thing since sliced bread.

Every list needs to have van Wolfswinkel mind!

Seriously Fey, explain the vWolfswinkel love because in my mind he is fucking shit.

He is, no doubt... I did consider him, but did not want to bet on someone with a possible addiction issues.... I have seen some of the greatest talents fall (Adriano, Mutu...)...

Difficult for anyone here to know who are the best prospects and do a ranking. You have to follow all the different championships closely.

I would do it this way:

6 best prospects in Italy
- Pato (89, Milan)
-

6 best prospects in England
- Bale (89, Tottenham)
- Batolli (90, Man C)
- Sturridge (89, Chelsea)
- Jack Wilshere (92, Arsenal)
- Walcott (89 , Arsenal)
-

6 best prospects in Spain
-
-

6 best prospects in Holland

6 best prospects in Germany
- Kroos

6 best prospects in France
- Sakho (90, P.S.3)
- Sissoko (89, Toulouse)
- Lacazette (91, Lyon)
- Mvilla (90, Rennes)

6 best prospects in Portugal

6 best prospects elsewhere
- Lukaka
- Defour (88, Anderlecht)

Then rank them according to their age
This could take ages

I noticed he scored against Sochaux yesterday. Will definately keep an eye out for him. You missed Eden Hazard from your Ligue 1 list too.

Yeah of course. Hazard is the n 1 prospect in France. Lacazette scored a sweet goal against Sochaux. I put him there because he was amongst the best during the euro -19, which France won. He and Gruizman did well.

For me, in no particular order:

1	Coutinho (Inter)
2	Hernández (Palermo)
3	Jovetic (Fiorentina)
4	Ljajic (Fiorentina)
5	Pastore (Palermo)
6	Pato (Milan)

Ilicic just misses out as he is 88 born

How is Jovetic doing this year? I know he did rather well last year, but this year I haven't heard much of him. This reminds me Pjanic from Lyon, who did well during several games last year but who's having difficulties this year to confirm.
