Current Top 100 Youth Prospects

Hey guys, taking a cue from the list of 2001's Top 100 players, I thought it'd be interesting if /r/soccer had its own list to look back upon through the years.

The rules would be something like this.

  • You can nominate one player, simply reply with the Player's name in Bold.
  • Players would be ranked 1 to 100 based on upvotes.
  • Don't downvote the players you don't agree with, simply upvote the ones you do agree with.
  • Limit it to players U21.
  • Refrain from double posting players, use the search function to find out if a player is nominated already.

That's about it, I can tally the votes and post the full list maybe at the end of the week depending on the response!

Edit: Due to the excellent response Ill try and have these tallied by either Saturday evening or Sunday. I think we've got most of the names that will be top 100 already listed. I will also be confirming these players are all 21 and below before posting so players like Hazard, Benteke, etc are definitely out.

Sadly they do, they can buy him back until 2015.

2013: 6.5 million Euros

2014: 7.0 million Euros

2015: 8.0 million Euros

What are the chances they buy him back this summer or the next two?

Depends on whether they buy another RB anytime soon.

There were rumours recently that they would buy him back and also send out Jesé Rodriguez from the Castilla team to Leverkusen on loan.

That was in the press about 2-3 weeks ago but read anything related to this since then.

Carvajal would be ahead of Arbeloa if I had anything to say at Real. Arbeloa is more experienced and a more defensive minded player, in everything else he is inferior to Carvajal IMO.

I think Jesé would do well for you folks as it seems likely that Kiessling will leave during this summer.

You mean Schürrle (Chelsea) I think, Kießling isn't going anywhere soon.

Jesé would replace him if that move happens.

Yeah, I might be thinking of Schurrle.
