U-17 Championships next week

[patrick42uk]

did anyone know this was on? if any will be able to watch it, it would be nice if they could give us updates on decent talent. i know the french pair united are after will be there i.e menez and ben arfa. fabregas is also in the spanish squad. there is also another young portuguese winger, helder barbosa, whom i'v heard a bit about. whoever gets to watch it, would you kindly keep us updated on the future stars.

Havent we signed the two stars of the last two under 17 chamionships in Senderos and Cesc?

 

[JazzG]

Thanks for reminding me patrick, completely forgot about this tournament. Will definitely watch that France match.

Havent we signed the two stars of the last two under 17 chamionships in Senderos and Cesc?

yup

 

[Taozhe]

wonder if we will manage to sign the best player of the tourney again ... oooh wait ... it could be Cecsh ... again!

 

[Loylz]

Hope we find a couple of future stars there for cheap. Knowing AW we probably will get a player or two from there.

France match was on today. Didn't watch all of it but was impressed with Menez and Ben Arfa both looked like decent players to me. Man utd have been linked with Ben Arfa in recently, looks exactly like Newcastle's Laurent Robert as well!

 

[bobbypires]

Menez will be a star. He impressed me a lot.

France 3-0 N.Ireland
Spain 1-0 Turkey (Cesc played the whole match)

French Songo'o is Songoo's (Depor 3rd keeper) son?

Yeah Ferguson have talk to Menez many many times, he ask him to come at M.U. for 38'000 euros per month, 25'000£. But, after all French great player like Pedretti has told him to play in France, coz France have paid to form him, he has signed a 3 years contract with Sochaux for 8'000 Euros per month (5'000£) at 16 years !!!! Which is pretty great paid here for a youngster
Yeah Franck Songo'o is the son of Jacques Songo's (who play for Cameroun, not for france, but Franck was certainly born when his father played in France, not sure at all about that but It's the mean sense)
And Songo's is playing for... Barcelone !! Not for La Corogne, strange...
