crouchaldinho Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Yeah, but I don't think a conference south sides' backroom staff would be good talent spotters while Marco Monti was a proffesional deender in Italy's top leagues and knows a lot about football. Rubbish . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dre2000 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 i would like to add that he was 16 when he was at welling so to say that he wasnt good enough is stupid, what 16 year olds are strong enough a make a good impression in non-league. the higher the level the more the emphasis is on technical rather then physical ability. Anyway good luck to the lad, i hope he does well because maybe this could lead to more engliah youngsters moving abroad at this age, which would only benefit all the england squads.

Stantoner Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Well done to the lad, i can only see the bitterness is jealousy, the last 5 players were good and if they work hard can do something in football, Heesham was a deadly striker, just needs extra training and Craig is a good player but to say one is better than the other from the little clips shown is unfair.

Nicky Lead Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 gotta say well done to the lad!! even if he does get released hes going to have learned a hell of a lot playing for one of the best clubs academy in the world and who wouldnt love to have inter milan on the CV!?

mackemforever Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I personally do think that at least 5 or 6 of them will have a career in professional football at some level. I don't think any of them will make it anywhere near the top flight but I do believe that a few of them have enough potential to make it to league 1 or about that level. Given their age and lack of physical training I think that they performed very well when training with the Inter youth players and that with enough focus on the physical side of their game then they could make it. Like almost everybody else here, I don't think that Ben will make it at Inter but he will learn more in 6 months there then he would in 10 years at Welling United and even if he does get released after 6 months, he should have no problem getting a professional contract over here somewhere a bit below the top flight, espcially seeing as some of the kids who were on the program have already signed with decent clubs over here, such as Connor Smith signing for Watford and Jordan Spencer (?, can't remember his surname, the black defender with the afro) is being considered by Cardiff.

Mojby Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Good luck to the lad - he had the confidence in his own ability to go and do something like this. I did not see the show so do not know how good he is. At least he had the balls to do something about it and try and better himself and get noticed. Do not knock him.

neutral Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 IIRC the only regular first-teamers who went through their youth academy are Santon and Balotelli. so obviously the odds favor him getting released. not to mention clubs like Inter and Milan have huge youth systems. but that doesn't mean they're all bad... I thought that Milan is an old folks home (kidding)... Maybe he'll struggle with the lifestyle and language first before struggling to break into first team..
