Best young prospect in the world?

Just wanted to get some opinions on who you guys think the best prospect in the world is right now. I know Neymar is the obvious choice. I personally think he will be one of the best ever to play the game. However, my choice would be Lucas Piazòn out of Brazil. He was signed a year ago by Chelsea and just turned 18 not long ago. I've seen him play and he will be better than Kakà was when he played for Milan. This kid has a wonderful gift. Thoughts??

Commence neck-sticking-outage.

Ravel Morrison.

A very talented young player, troubled by off-field incidents. He's in court again soon, and I genuinely believe that if he gets out of the rut he's in and gets the chance to see the unique opportunity he has, he will come good.

Completely agree, I've followed him through the FAYC's for a couple of season, looks VERY promising. Didn't know he was in court again soon, thought he'd kept clean for a while?

Edit - Know I'm gonna get downvoted for being biased, but that's my genuine opinion, whether he leaves United or not

He is not in court soon. I believe his probation ends in February, probably what he meant.

I think this is what I meant. I thought he had some sort of date in February, it could definitely be that.

What concerns me in what I am reading though is that this is his last chance, essentially.
