Buchtmann Sold! WTF?

[saj]

Good point, that's definitely true.

Unlikely. But if it makes people believe that that was the reason we got rid of him then we can make it the truth. I heard his mother got caught shoplifting and his father was caught by a well known newspaper selling cocaine too, John Terry family style.

It was bloody Fulham, was there even a big fight between the top sides for him?

Funny how hes gone to fulham,and thats were the last academy manger went malcom eliase

[el matador]

the reason hes been sold is simple. thomas ince.

buchtmann isnt a left back and in recent matches was played on the right to accomodate ince.

ince is english and will probably develop into a better player.

[rudedog]

I've seen him play a couple of times and thought he look promising.

[SK]

judging by that u17 tournament he's a gifted player, should have a sell-on clause in the transfer deal if fulham decide to prolong his contract and then sell him on for a profit.

good luck to the lad

[Chris]

If he's that good you've got to wonder why we sold him and why Fulham only give him an 18 month deal.

He's no Insua

The teenager, who can operate anywhere on the left-hand side of the field, was named as one of Uefa's top 10 stars of the future in May 2009.

Would be interesting to see who's on one of those top 10's from 5 or 6 years ago, to see how many we've heard of now and are fulfilling their early potential.

I guess Le Tallec and Pongolle would have been on a few years back

I'm pretty sure they were actually, along with Gregory Vignal!

An old thread about when the UEFA list with Buchtmann on came out

Has Bruna on it

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Disgrace if true... 100k?!?! wasn't he on that list with jack wilshere of future stars? even if he didn't turn out to be good he surely would have been worth a lot more in a few years

[sambirken]

I am a little surprised by this but when we signed him, the guys round here (Dortmund) said he wasn't great and Dortmund didn't rate him all too highly.

I told them they didn't know what they were talking about. Perhaps it is infact me who doesn't know what he is talking about, looking at list made by some journo who knows less about footballing ability than my girlfriend.

****ing lists.

This list of the top 100 young players in 2007, for example, could be renamed '100 young footballers' names'

No idea why I could only find those two years, maybe I wasn't looking hard enough.

Either way, none of the 2005 list appear to be pulling up any trees yet - though I'm open to contradiction, and I'm sure a couple of them have scored a lot of goals in Pro Evo.
