Ahmed 1,427 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 2009 is set to be a fine year indeed for football fans. And no less so for these ten players; ten players who all have the potential to excite audiences across the country. Big moves could well beckon for these young stars in 2009: Jamie Ward – Chesterfield The diminutive striker has notched 14 goals in 22 starts for Chesterfield this season, and is attracting the interest of a number of Championship clubs. Pacy and with an eye for goal, The Northern Ireland U21 international may be due a big move sooner rather than later with his current contract due to run out in June. However, a summer move could be the more likely option, with Ward looking increasingly likely to review his options at the end of the season. Tommy Rowe – Stockport County With five goals already this season, Rowe is a big part of the Hatters second successive push for promotion, with the 20 year old left winger having all the physical and technical attributes to make an impact in the higher echelons of English Football. Rowe is one of many young starlets attracting interest at Edgeley Park, with the likes of Kevin Pilkington and Jimmy McNulty also being monitored by scouts across the country. Manager Jim Gannon will certainly have a job keeping his young side together over January to maintain their playoff charge. Joe Lewis – Peterborough England have already come calling, what next for the Peterborough goalkeeper? Everton and QPR have expressed an interest in the past for the 6’6 keeper, who commands his area well and can pull off spectacular saves when required. The Posh won’t let him go easily though, and have the financial clout and big ambition to convince Lewis to stay at London Road. Joe Lewis - future England star? Victor Moses – Crystal Palace The sky is the limit for Moses, who has bags of pace and ability. A regular for England’s Under 19 squad, Moses is equally at home on either wing, and after bursting onto the scene so successfully last season, the winger was the subject of much transfer speculation, with the likes of Arsenal expressing an interest in the player. However, after signing a 4 year deal with Crystal Palace, it appears Moses has committed his future to Palace – for now at least. John-Joe O’Toole – Watford Watford’s fans haven’t had much to cheer about this season, but in O’Toole they have a proper player. The midfielder has come through the ranks at Vicarage Road, and at 6’2 is a great athlete as well as a great passer of the ball, with eight goals to his name already this season – not a bad return for a 20 year old in only his second season as a professional. With international football at senior level for the Republic of Ireland surely beckoning, will Watford be tempted to cash in on another of their assets when the big clubs undoubtedly come crawling? Scott Davies – Reading (on loan at Aldershot) After leaving his mark on the Blue Square Premier, the on loan Reading youngster is now setting his sights on the Football League, and Gary Waddock’s Aldershot are once again reaping the benefits of the winger’s services. A player with a great work rate and accurate delivery, Davies is also quite capable of producing the spectacular. However, it remains to be seen whether the 20 year old will be given the chance to show off his obvious talents at his parent club, Reading. If not, other clubs will be sure to express an interest in the midfielder. Sam Baldock –Milton Keynes Dons Born and bred in Milton Keynes, the emergence of Sam Baldock from promising youngster to first team regular has surprised almost everyone at Stadium: MK. A player with great pace and movement; Baldock is also very composed in front of goal, as his 9 goals in 21 starts this season would testify to. Celtic are rumoured to be interested in the 19 year old hitman, but MK will want to keep hold of their sole home grown talent as long as possible. Kyle Naughton – Sheffield United A product of The Blades youth academy, Naughton has made the right-back spot at Sheffield United his own this season. A player comfortable in defence but just as adept going forward to support the attack – Naughton is a fine player, with blistering pace and skill to boot – not traits you’d necessarily associate with a defender. A lifelong Blades fan, Naughton will be hoping to take his hometown club back to the Premiership this season – before the Premiership comes to him. Scott Dann – Coventry City Strong, brave and good in the air, The 21 year old has shown maturity beyond his tender years for Coventry during this campaign as captain as one of the youngest backlines in the Championship. After making a successful into the England Under-21s set up, the future certainly looks bright for the young centre-back, who has played at every level in the Football League pyramid so far. Will Buckley - Rochdale Premier League scouts have been flocking to Spotland to watch this exciting winger for quite some time now, and the 19 year old has duly obliged with some splendid performances. With six goals to his name already this season, it seems like a matter of time before Buckley moves on to pastures new. But after losing top stars such as Grant Holt, Glenn Murray and Rickie Lambert over the years, Rochdale will be determined to hang on to their man for a while yet as they strive for promotion from League Two.

Guest King Kolo Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Re: 10 Football League Youngsters To Watch In 2009 Nice to see Victor in there Hasn´t played much for us this season though Signed a contract not long ago though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MJandBigC 35 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Re: 10 Football League Youngsters To Watch In 2009 Two really good players there with John-Joe O'Toole and Victor Moses Being an Ipswich fan, I think these players are worth a mention: Tommy Smith- CB Jordan Rhodes- ST Ed Upson- CM Liam Trotter- CM I think only Smith is on the database, but the others are touted as being future stars for Ipswich.

Guest Toggs Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Re: 10 Football League Youngsters To Watch In 2009 didnt bother adding Lee Pleiter who has been linked with a move too Arsenal Agree with them all though, very good post again Ahmed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
juve_fan 234 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Re: 10 Football League Youngsters To Watch In 2009 Good post Nice to see Joe Lewis getting the recognition he deserves. He does parry the ball alot tho, and doesn't parry it far away, we have conceded a few goals this season that way. But he does make some quality saves which have won us valuable points ALso, where is George Boyd on this list Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Considering you are (or was) someone who moans about duplicate threads then you have just done just that as all of the above I think have been mentioned long before this, two of which were by myself (Dann and Baldock).

You stating that I moan about duplicate threads means I'm well aware of the function of the search tool. I know very well that each of these players have been mentioned. Personally, I introduced the forum to Tommy Rowe and John-Joe O’Toole. I am also aware how Joe Lewis and Victor Moses have been a center of debates here. This thread is not "my invention" or "my find". It consists of a series of threads I'm posting that I saw on other forums or blogs and decide to share them here to start 2009 with. Thanks anyway.

Guest Daragh Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Re: 10 Football League Youngsters To Watch In 2009 I think Shaun Scannell should get a mention. I prefer Scannell than Moses although Moses is a great talent. Great thread Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest King Kolo Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Re: 10 Football League Youngsters To Watch In 2009 Scannel scored yesterday but Moses is more effective. Moses Got taken out in the 36th minute yesterday and had to go off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ahmed 1,427 Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Re: 10 Football League Youngsters To Watch In 2009 Moses debate?He's only been mentioned once Lol Yep. A debate is defined as an argument with one another. It can be peaceful or bloody:p where you discuss the pros and cons of an issue. If you search for Victor Moses, you'll find approx. 100 threads where he was discussed about. Varying from Player Ratings section/Player Talent Scout section/Player Assistance section and many more. so he was not mentioned once;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

elliotick 152 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Re: 10 Football League Youngsters To Watch In 2009 Jason Demetriou - 21 years old 76 rated : Under rated one of the best players at the club should get a +1/2 in the next rating change. when i went to the game today he was one of the players who shone like always. had Pompey after him a little bit ago. Charlie Daniels - former Spurs player had a MOTM winning performance today. has a lot of potential. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
