Rafa Benitez signed 19 year old David Ngog for £1.5m

French player David Ngog played for PSG last season. Although he only managed to score 1 goal in 18 games, but he was a consistent goalscorer in the under 19 and all under age international games for France.

With quick speed, he has a chance to play in the first team this coming season. But if he sucks, he could be on the transfer list in the next couple of years for £5million, haha.

Freddy Adu on Loan to Monaco

Benfica, Adu’s first club outside of the US sent him to Monaco on loan for the rest of the season.

Monaco is a mid table team in the French league. It finished 12th place in its last campaign. They have the option to buy Adu.

The 19 year old is not part of the new coach Quique Flores’ tactical plans, despite having scored 5 goals last season in 21 appearances.

I think he will get to start or play more this time.

Theo Walcott, Young and Idealist

According to Theo Walcott: “…People go on about money and contracts, but for me it’s always going to be about the football.”

Typical of young people - idealistic. The 19 year old plays for Arsenal. He was the youngest to play for Southampton first team, at 16 years old. He was purchased by Arsenal for an initial fee of 5 million pounds.

I hope he will not change his mindset. He won’t make decisions based on money and contracts.

Another Hungarian 17 year old joins Liverpool

Zsolt Poloskei will play for the Liverpool reserves on a season loan from MTK Hungaria, a club from Hungary. Poloskei will join with three other Hungarians, including Nemeth who made waves in the reserves league.

Although he has an injury when he arrived, but the Reds management are just so impressed with the midfielder’s skills, so confident that he will start training in the coming weeks.

Liverpool could buy him out after a year.

Mario Balotelli: Italy’s Newest Teenage Sensation

Italy has produced a newest teenage sensation that will topple defenses and fire some goals. He made it to Inter Milan’s first team and scored 7 goals in the 2007-2008 Serie A season.

Mario Balotelli born to Ghanese parents in Italy, but adopted by an Italian couple. A law prevented Mario to become a full Italian citizen until he will reach 18 years old on August 12 this year. He feels with all his heart that he is Italian, he even turned down requests to play for Ghana in the last 2008 African Nations Cup.

“Super Mario,” as he also called by his moniker is surely the striker to watch out for in the 2010 World Cup.

Hhhm, i wonder what some Italian racists will think. Envy?

Frank Wiafe Danquah, 18 year old First Team player for Newcastle

Frank Wiafe Danquah is of Ghanese origin, but he has a Dutch passport, and is eligible to play for the Nederlands which he has a chance of a callup for the Under 19 team.

He used to be a player for the Ajax academy. He was the top scorer for the Magpies reserve team. Attracted the Newcastle bosses, and was called to play for first team last season in a game against Everton, but did not play.

I’ve been looking for videos of him in Youtube but did not find one. But i managed to grabbed a photo of him from a site on the internet.

No idea what he looks like, but i’m pretty sure he is the african guy:

Kalani, 6 year old Brazilian Football Wonder

I found a video on Youtube about a Brazilian, 5 years old at the time in the video. He is really good for his age. He even knows how to bend a ball.

His favorite team is Flumininse, a club from Brazil. His favorite player is Ronaldinho.

He is a really good finisher, but he needs to learn to pass the ball though.
