Can we make some sort of agreement here ,that we will never refer to these two players as "Gems" ?

Kaka cost Milan £4mill from Sao Paulo. What a signing thats turned out to be.

Just been snooping around the net and this Nemeth lad is extremely highly rated. The Hungarians are a bit miffed that he has left Hungary.

seems so weird reading another team's forum! Wonder if they have their own version of Marky!
As for the kids, they could turn out to be something, they may not, but you got to take a punt, as you said Kaka and even Ronaldo were brought over as exciting prospects and turned out to be the real deal. You just never know what could happen.

The thing we need to do is to find a way to get the younger players competitive football. Either a feeder team or some sort of batch loan deal system. They need to play football while still getting quality coaching.

There is no way that all the other teams in the league will allow us to have our reserves in the league unless they start at the very bottom of the pyramid which in all honesty helps no one short term. I think the FA probably needs to look at the issues involved at a national level. I'm not sure what the solution is but I suspect a relaxation of the rules allowing the bigger teams to influence/own smaller teams will have to happen. Although the needs of youth development and the big clubs has to be balanced against those of the small teams - both in terms of identity and the fact that it could be a way to get the money flowing down from the PL to the financially less well off smaller teams.

Interesting signings, certainly seem to have potential.

UEFA Champions League finalists Liverpool FC have continued to build for the future by acquiring Hungarian youth internationals Krisztián Németh and András Simon from MTK Budapest.

Scoring success
The 18-year-old striker Németh scored eleven competitive goals last season for Hungary's Under-17 side as they reached the UEFA European Championship and he has since stepped up to the U19 squad in addition to registering 12 goals in as many 1. Liga matches for MTK this term. The 17-year-old Simon, another forward, was also part of the Hungary team that got to last summer's U17 finals in Luxembourg and was still involved this season although his four strikes in five qualifiers were not enough to help his side into the final tournament.

That does not sound to bad. An 18 year old scoring 12 goals in 12 matches in the Hungarian top division?

Sounds great actually.

That is the Hungarian top division, right?
