I do mate, noticed your early 2012 JWP thread aswell - top notch spotting

Excellent post as always mate This might explain some of your jealousy good talent spotting mate http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?11429-Marlon-Harewood http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?23698-Gary-Glitter#.UokuNX8gGK0 http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?15526-Lita-joins-middlesborough#.Uokt6n8gGK0

Was there much wrong with my OP? Just Trousers derailing another thread for no reason......

Do any of you have experience with this? Spotting a young player and tipping him for the big time, only to see it happen? Last year I tipped Ryan Gauld of Dundee United for the big time, he was only 15 when i first saw him and tipped him immediately for the top. No guarantees but man united and real madrid are now watching him. Some of you will also remember me tipping Wanyama after just a couple of Celtic games. Likewise I saw Barkley playing for Everton vs Saints 5 years ago and posted on here about his potential and star quality. Any similar stories? Or any stars in the making?

Cork to Fulham (more likely than Derby) http://www.fulham.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=339068

Thanks mate. Went to see a few Celtic games last season and he was the stand out player. I normally try to get them v early before anyone else, like i did with Gauld at Dundee utd and Barkley and Coleman at Everton to name just 3. Its fun to pick out players from a very raw, young age and watch them mature into the great players you can see (when others cant) my friends say its a gift, im not sure about that. I remember tipping Bale when he was just 15 and took some stick for it.

Game looked very easy from the sky last season. You get to see all the space and get frustrated that they cant see the runs and clear options

Suspect this will go to general sale... Did last season

Cant take anything away from either.... Both are top managers. Mopo is still young in age and to management but will be great too im sure Had an arguement on twitter with a guy who was saying mopo is just copying Marcelo Bielsa's, Spain and Barcelona's play and philosophy. The guy was saying that mopo is a fake and just a copycat. I told him not to call him a copycat and said mopo is a great guy

Try just 'Gold' mate, not sure i knew his 1st name until August this year.... Like i said only saw him at junior games and spotted the very raw talent. The raw talent that has now caught the eye of man u and real madrid

Try Ryan Gold mate, thought that was his surname as only seen him at youth and junior level until this season. Spotted the raw talent at a few junior games last year

Maybe you should tweet Luke and ask?

Any luck yet Batman?

A player i mentioned a few times in the summer Ryan Gauld from Dundee Utd is now getting alot more attention and fee has probably x20

Thought the same.... £3,800 is a sizeable amount. I guarantee that alot of mega rich players would have given nothing

Rest.... http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/luke-shaw-forced-remove-children-2799127?

Oh god the ITK wannabes are starting early........ Leave it to the professionals Batman, you get enough stick already mate

Foolish or generous?

Stick to your Groundhog Day posts mate.
