Wilhelmsson is great ;)
Did anyone see that "hocus pocus" move he did? Out of this world :eek: I don't recall Ronaldinho pulling anything like that off!

I didn't see that :( but I've seen him shine in the Swedish National Team ;) I hope he will become a great star for Sweden, like Zlatan and Larsson and Ljungberg :D

Vincent has been nominated by Tuttosport for the election of the European Talent of the Year. This includes only players who where born after 1/1/1983.
Besides him the most known are: Valery Bojinov (Lecce), Obafemi Martins (Inter), Arjen Robben (Chelsea), Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United) and Wesley Sneijder (Ajax)

I don't expect him to win, but it's a great honour, for him and for Anderlecht!

Hmmm, IMO Oba Oba or Roonaldo should win it.

Hogwash! Rooney is a no-talent ass clown who needs to get his head together. Arjen Robben is the only logical choice here...

I do think he's overrated, but he's been great for England and very good for Manyoo, but I'd personaly give it to Oba Oba.

Ian: Whatever, I just do not understand the disdain Rooney's subject to.
You don't understand it? He's had a few good games in the EPL and one good international tournament, and he's being touted as the best young player in the world...It's terrible. Furthermore, I think that we're seeing his real talent level with Man U. Most of the games I've seen him play he looks like a lost chubber jogging about the pitch. He may be strong, fast, and have a good shot, but he's got no positional sense, no vision, no intelligence, and no class.

Thats exactly what I am seeing as well Ian. Moreover, whenever I watch Man United without Rooney in the squad they look more balanced and threatening in attack, moving the ball about much more nicely. When I see Rooney pick up the ball 30 yards out from the box he looks inept and does not know what to do, usually giving it away after fumbling with it. Closer to the goal he does not take all of his chances and seems to fool around with the ball too much. It just amazes me to listen to all the hype he gets, because to me he is a one-dimensional forward who lacks real talent.
