Btw, do you guys follow Gazzetta's list of the 30 hottest talents born 1989 or later?
They've been doing the list for more than a month now and they're at 12th place now.
This is the list:

And this is the latest adition to the list, and a player i'd like to know more about:

Alan Dzagoev. He's a trequartista and he just turned 19 this summer. He's #10 in CSKA Moscow, he's their playmaker and he's Hiddink's favorite (also plays for Russian NT).
I caught him once when CSKA played Spartak last year and i was literally shocked when i saw his talent. I forgot about him ever since and i had no idea that he was only 18 back then ( i thought he's in his mid 20's or older).
Anyone from the Russians here to tell us more about the kid? Is he consistently playing at high level or did i have the luck to catch one of his good matches?
According to Gazzetta Hiddink reccomended him to Chelsea.
