Gerardo Bruna
« on: October 28, 2007, 10:36:10 AM »
I searched for a thread on this lad, and I am sure one exists, but couldn't find anything, so I started this new one.

World Soccer magazine, a publication which I hold in high regard, has rated Gerardo Bruna in it's list of 50 Most Exciting Youngsters.  The list includes the likes of Sergio Aguero, Fran Merida, Alex Pato and Bojan Krkic.

Gerardo Bruna rejected terms with Real Madrid to sign for us.  He is Argentinian and was born on 29/01/91.  He is an attacking midfielder.

Nikolay Mihaylov is also on the list.

Oh right, just wondering how many past entrants had actually gone on to be worth the excitement.

Still, having two of the 50 top youngsters in the world has to be a good thing.

Seem to recall this was on the boards a fair while ago? There was a thread with a picture of him infront of a easyjet sign pointing at Manchester, I think. Could have been in the football/sports section.

I've stopped getting excited about 16 year olds

er, that reads badly doesn't it

never mind

when you've got Ryan Babel, someone who apparently took the u-21 tourny by storm and was wanted by Arsenal, but can't even get on as a sub against Arsenal today, struggling to make an impact, you realise that getting enthused about a 16 year old prospect is a total waste of enthusiasm

John Welsh was number 4 in that list once wasn't he ? and now has seemingly disappeared off the first team map at Hull. Then there's Le Tallec. I wouldn't wipe my arse with it. Or the list.
