FM Special: Your prospects…let me have them

By: Marco | December 11th, 2008

FM has successfully predicted several players as being world class some day and with names like Ibrabimbobitch and Titus Bramble you can’t argue with that. Since my journey to bring Alessandria back to the Serie A is being put to the side (won the Serie C2/A by 24 points) for now and my River Plate season is going really well (unlike their real life counterparts) and we are rolling the league I thought I would take a look at Atalanta. I brought in Reginaldo, Thiago Heleno, Guilherme (Cruzeiro), Bolzoni and getting the other 50% of Cigarini so my squad looks pretty good.

Anyways back on topic. Juve, Milan and the United Nations team kept offering me 1.5M+ for these U20 players I haven’t heard of. Turns out my ass man (assistant manager) Renzo Gobbo (yes I replaced Conti with my old friend from 08.) says they have the potential to be at least good Serie A players in the future. Here are the ones that stand out and no they aren’t regens. We must be feeding these kids steroids. If they turn out to be amazing I take credit and Arsene Wenger can shove it:

Serigne Amath Gueye – AMC/FC – 19 year old Senegal national who comes in at a whopping 6′4. My ass man says he can be better than Guilherme who turned out to be World Class in 08 so he must be great. Time will tell and hopefully he doesn’t flop like many other youngsters.

Marco Colombo – DRC/WBR – 18 year old and really tall. 6′5…I haven’t seen a 6 foot 5 wingback..its like Mertesacker trying to outrun an small but elusive child. Milan wants him but I don’t plan on letting him leave. My ass man says he will be a good wingback in the future and I think he might be on par with Oddo except Colombo can actually cross.

Abdoulaye Diallo – ST – We must have gone after tall guys because he is guess it..over 6 feet. Ass man says he has a bright future and might be a leading Serie A forward in the future.

Mamadou Coulibaly – AMC/LCRM/DM – No he isn’t some giant kid but he is very versatile in the midfield and fast at that. 3 U21 Caps for Ivory Coast. Has a lot of flair, determination and work rate. As if those have ever combined. Valued at 1.8M and should turn out to be above average.

Djama Koutouan – ST – Only 16 but is valued at 1.3M and is pretty fast. Ass man says he will be a leading forward in the future. Surprisingly the rats haven’t bid for him yet which surprises me. Hopefully Arse doesn’t come around and start monitoring them. Wait he might have already done that with his exhaustive scouting network.

Moussa Kone – DM/CM/AMR/ST – The third and last of the Ivorian trio of Coulibaly, Koutouan and Kone. (We almost had KKK….that is just wrong) Think Vanden Borre except take out the defender part. Can’t hit shit with this left foot but is extremely versatile. Has good work rate and determination. Pretty good stats all around and is uncapped for the Ivory Coast. Valued at 1.5M.

Simone Colombi – GK – Promising keeper valued at 1.3M. All around decent stats and has great potential. But his stats my hamper that. Milan wanted him because apparently he is better than Dida.
