-Biancoo. 43 Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Here ive started a thread all about West Bromwich Albion's future prospects. The baggies are regarded to have a very good youth system and many of late have come through the ranks and either performed well for them or moved on to have decent careers. Chris Woods looks the most promising of all prospects soo far from last season. However ill be searching deeper into the youth ranks where alot currently perform for the England national team in their respective age groups etc. First up is.. Saido Berahino Nationality: English Age: 18 Position: Forward Club: West Bromwich Albion DB: rated 75 .Berahino is third from the left, scoring for the England under-17s against Turkey. Factfile. This young forward has definetly been rated one of England's future hits for a while now. The English pacey Berahino is one of many that are coming up and out of the Albion's acadamy and into the reserves, alongside Sam Mantom and George Thorne (both on DB). Saido has not appeared for the first team and seems along way off it aswell. But he pure pace and ability on the ball is deadly to give too much time. He is deadly from free-kicks aswell chasing the ball and holding it up. It is debate-able if he will follow in Chris Woods footsteps, however being a much smaller player he could find it hard to play against stronger defenders. His record in the England setup is remarkable, scoring on 9 occosians in 10 appearances is no mockerary. He doesnt deserve to be on the database but depending on West Brom's future FA cup ties in the next couple of years im sure he could make an appearance. He almost joined Wolves when he was 16, however he rejected a move and stayed at West Brom. As a result he has performed well and is progressing under Reserves coach Paul Downing. Keep your eyes on this lad for the next couple of years. Stats (Club/Country) England Under-16s - Played 4, Won 3, Scored 3 Under-17s - Played 12, Won 7, Scored 6! West Brom U18s 2010/2011 Appearances - 10 (all games) Scored - 9 (scored every game except 2) Reserves 2010/2011 Appearances - 4 (2 starts) Scored - 1 UPDATE: 28th March 2012 Played for Northampton earlier this season and played 14 games and scored 6 goals, accumulating 1252 minutes. now CURRENTLY playing for Brentford in League one and has already played 8 games and scored 4 goals.

-Biancoo. 43 Posted November 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Re: WestBrom talentSCOUT. What do you think of George Thorne? i have only seen him play one match and he is decent, along way to go before seeing him in the first team again but definetly looks a prospect, ill eventually do a report on him soon.

-Biancoo. 43 Posted November 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Re: WestBrom talentSCOUT. Sam Mantom Factfile Age: 20 Nationality: English Position: Midfeilder Left Footed Similar to Aaron Ramsey Sam Mantom has suddenly hit the stage of the Football League. For most of the season he has been playing well for a West Brom Reserve side near the top of the table, however he has now living up to his potential and plying his trade in League One with Walsall. The Stourbridge born midfielder is left footed and similar to the likes of Aaron Ramsey in the way that he plays simple passes but likes to push on from midfield and score goals. He is currently at Walsall and has played every minute since he joined a couple of months ago. Playing 6 games and scoring two goals has aided Walsall to steer clear of relegation. Potential and Future Sam Mantom is highly regarded at West Brom and maybe another season on loan could enhance his development. One thing that is holding him back is that he hasnt played week in week out footbal for a whole season yet, after having spells at different clubs over the years. This may have hindered his development as he is already 20 years old. Age isnt an issue, he will be again training with the first team at West Brom in pre-season and will look to get minutes for the first team. His only problem is that Scott Allan and George Thorne are currently ahead of him who also play in midfield roles. Still one lad to keep an eye on in the lower leagues. CURRENTLY ON DB: 75 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
