It is a bit mad, but given the way football is now, I would not be surprised if promoted teams or teams in the bottom 6 paid £12m for Bolasie and £13m for Walcott, we wont get anything for Sandro or Mirallas though. The only interest in them would be Belgium for Mirallas, and their sides have no cash and bottom 10 teams in La liga for Sandro, and those teams also have no cash.

Shouldn't link that rag on here mate
Ok, look, I think the US team is going to be decent, but not all of these guys are players to watch. Durkin was great in the U17 WC, but he's not that great. Akinola is a good athlete, but not a great player. Pomykal and Weah, absolutely. Alex Mendez and Ulysses Llanez are actually more interesting prospects than almost anyone in the squad. Dest, Ledezma, de la Fuente could all be really good, but they aren't in the league yet of guys like N'Dicka, Soumare, or Leao.U20 World Cup Players to Watch:

He thinks he's world class is the problem. He wants crazy wages by all accounts and probably sees himself as above us. Class on the ball, not too bad off of the ball when he feels like it.reckon Silva could get a tune out of Rabiot
no-one else wants to touch him

Dest is the one I’m most interested in watching. Not sure if he’s actually turned into a defender but he’s got all the attributes going forward if he can figure out that side of it. Weah for me is still a couple years away from being able to play regularly in a big league. Durkin is good but he doesn’t really excel at anything imo.Ok, look, I think the US team is going to be decent, but not all of these guys are players to watch.

Weah isn't that far away. He would've destroyed the Scottish league if they just played him - hopefully someone will be smart enough to buy him and play him.Dest is the one I’m most interested in watching.

Cornet never really had the end product. Hes more like and Aaron Lennon type or BiabianyMaxwel Cornet from Lyon has been playing his tail off down the stretch. Right sided forward, left footed. Just a thought.
I was watching the OM / OL match on replay and N'Dombele made a ridiculous look away 40 yard ball right on Depay's foot on a break that was one of the most impressive passes I think I've seen all year. He's so demonstrative on the pitch it's downright annoying. Got a bit of Pogba in him. But quite a talent.
Ocampos started up front and looked good - had ideas, good on the dribble, obviously big and strong, but even when he tricked the right back, he couldn't separate when he went by him. Not sure he's the answer.
