Doesn't make Messi any less a youngster

walcott also still isnt arsenal XI.. even eboue is ahead of him

well with all those hype n expectations on him since some times ago, n on what he had done so far, yes he's kinda overrated for me.

from what i read most of those who folo MLS closely agreed on that too.

Yes but there is a big difference between Arsenal and Sociedad. Merida is too young to be on that list, if you are looking for a yungster with genuine class to be on that list than look no further than Barazite. He will be the next big thing

yup u are right..he used to receive widespread attention back at US..well, i think its normal for a european club to protect their youngster, especially young foreigners who are just arrived..so imo, its normal for us not to hear about him much..furthermore this is his 1st season at europe..so he needs time to fulfill his potential..

Barazite?who's that?i know he is a young gunner..i have read his article in wikipedia..is he really good?

David Edgar FTW!!

He's good, but may possibly be overhyped by some Arsenal fans. He's probably our closest player to Pires in the reserve team, but don't expect him to shine so soon. Anything can happen to potential starlets, but at the moment he's looking really good and very likely to push for a first team place in the near future. Someone who scores hattricks for fun can't be that bad eh?

Something to add, go watch Nike's commercial about a young dutch player who gets skinned in his first few EPL games and later develops into a star player for both Arsenal and Holland. There's a sneak peek at his shorts which says no.43, which is exactly Nacer's number

did he played even a game in 07/08 season?

6 freaking games! lol, but he's got potential, and the important thing is Kev like young dudes
