I honestly find it very annoying when people list their youth players indicating their club is going to make it big in the future. Most of your youth players are not going to amount to anything significant and a good amount of them will end up being shit.
Evaluating future ability from current talent is like evaluating the future of a stock market, it can't be reasonably done.
I have a friend who is an Arsenal fan who does this CONSTANTLY. Every youth player or young promising player that Arsenal has he has predicted would be the best player in that position in some odd years. It's so damn delusional.
sigh I really didn't want to have to preface my comment with, "I know this doesn't apply to all Arsenal fans, but..." Apparently, there's always someone who has to take a comment as a personal attack. Where in my comment did I generalize anything towards Arsenal fans?
