There's been alot of talk about this kid. Both Madrid and Barca are following him closely.

I wouldn't consider Bojan in that list just yet. So far he hasn't really translated his previous form in the youth sides to the senior side. Busquets however has been a revelation for Barca this season.

Bojan did really well in his first season, when the likes of Eto'o, Henry, and Messi all had some problems with injuries. My video of him says how he performed last season. This season, Pep decided to protect him. That's why we couldn't see much of him this season.

I disagree. He was no Messi who at 18 was already running rings round defenders at La Liga level. He did reasonably well as a squad player. But if u consider that worthy to be called a wonderkid then there would be so many of them u can put in that list.

If you expect everyone to be like Messi at 18, i wonder how many would be dubbed as wonderkid?

That is my point. Why should there be so many wonderkids? A wonderkid should be below 21 but is able to play at the highest level and be an unquestionable starter as well. Otherwise the "wonder" would be meaningless.


Added on February 14, 2009, 12:41 pmOk let me clarify myself. I'm not expecting kids to play at Messi's current level. That would be unrealistic. I'm just saying that for me a wonderkid has to be so good that it would be impossible to leave him out regardless of how young he is.
