little lad's a bit good:

and he can play for England.

Got to question some of the atrocious defending ;)

Hes nine years old ffs

Seeing all his team mates getting annoyed when he doesn't pass it.  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

During the clip show at about 33/34 seconds in you get an insight to the type of defender I was when I was a kid.

The kid in green takes his opponant out of the game in style. No nonsense defending.

has to be said the lads got natural ability. nine years old is patehticly young to start making stupid predictions about him being the next wayne rooney though as there is no end of things that could go wrong or he could just simply never get any better.

what he does have though which im quite shocked about is good vision. any normal kid with that ability would be inclined to take everyone on and score every time, but even though he takes it around three or four players at a time he seems to know when to pass and can spot a decent pass.

bloody hell. he'd solve our wing problems surely?

just wondering is he welsh with a name like that? fucking hope not

He's grown up in Australia.

yeah but hes 'british' and has moved back so would play for the british country he is originally from i would imagine (and living in now)

Fuck it lets all get carried away

Heres the next george best

and your point is? he's still pretty good at footy for his age, do you not think?

Charlie Edwards - now that's an old skool football name :D

Yes, but theres a lot of things that can go wrong between now and then, it stupid to be headhunting at such an early age.

A lot of young kids have come in the public eye over the years saying that they are the next George Best, and they've gone nowhere.

There was that young British kid who was 10-11 back in the early nineties, who had all the skill in the world, and went to train with Ajax. Yet he didn't even make it into pro football.

Yeah, Sonny Pike - he used to be on T.V. all the time. Eventually became clinically fed-up.

The 9 year old kid looks brilliant...until you realise he's playing against a bunch of Aussies  :D

Nah he's a good player clearly, but like people have said he has to progress and not everybody does manage to

Crikey even Jermaine Pennant who's having a decent career hasn;t lived up to the hype, Darren Flethcer was the new Beckham, except socttish and Rubbish.  Too much pressure too young, let him sign up with a club play for fun and if at 15 or 16 he's good put him on YTS - the poor kid will end up a mess if he's given such star status at a young age.

cherno samba was one as well wasnt, englands next best thing - look at him now  :-))(

Mitchell Cole was a recent one - I saw him touted about on TV at the age of 8 or 9...

He's still non-league at 23 years old or something... talk about Arsenal having him at one point.

if someone sends you a video of a lad much better than his peers, and your rivals will sign him if you don't, you may as well.

he's just better than the crap he was playing against - happens all the time ! He's got good skill - you need to know his genetics though

More impressed by this kid.

I've been scared of hype over any young players, at any level, since I watched Alan Young play football.
