Damien Le Tallec to leave Rennes?

By: Evilo | Comments 3 Comments

lequipe.fr reports young starlet Damien Le Tallec is about to move to Borussia Dortmund.
Le Tallec is only 19, and a very hyped striker who draws comparisons with Dimitar Berbatov.
With the U16, U17, U18 and U19 selections, he’s scored 24 goals in 35 games.
A few years ago, before signing his first pro contract, Le Tallec denied Real Madrid and Arsenal.

#1 Eden Hazard

By: Evilo | Comments 4 Comments

1- Eden Hazard (5), Lille, AM, 91, Belgium
Rating : 9.5B-, Messi
Talent : Hazard is one of the world’s prime young talents. He has a great touch, great vision, great speed and great dribbling. His technique is up there with the best of them.
Season : He is seeing more and more opportunties and he is making the most of it. He has scored some nice goals, and has looked dangerous all the time in every single game. He is Lille’s main weapon as can be shown from their recent Europa League game where his goal and assist gave Lille a 2-0 win. Phenom on the way!

#2 Mamadou Sakho

By: Evilo | Comments Add Comments

2- Mamadou Sakho (7), PSG, CB/LB, 90
Rating : 9B, Gallas
Talent : Sakho is a combination of a good footballer, physical freak and born leader. He has a good accurate left foot, has good long passes and is a good tackler. He is maturing extremely fast and is the closest thing to a dominant defenseman L1 has.
Season : Sakho was quickly seen as the starter in Paris and made the most of it. Except for one or two mistakes, he was dominant and PSG’s best defenseman. However, he was injured for a while and during that time. Apparently, PSG refused to make a move for Heinze so that Sakho continues to develop, a sign of confidence.

#3 Hatem Ben Arfa

By: Evilo | Comments Add Comments

3- Hatem Ben Arfa (4), Marseille, AM/LW, 87
Rating : 9.5C+, Maradona
Talent : Ben Arfa is most likely the most talented prospect in all of L1, and probably the most talented player in all of L1. He does things that nobody even thinks about doing in training. He has speed, dribbling like few others, a good shot. His weakness right now is both defensively, and mostly mentally (he lacks maturity). He often either tries to do to much and even though his game is based on individual difference, he has to find the right balance.
His trademark move is short dribbling with one or two touches, similar to his idol Maradona.
Season : Even if he had a few very good performances, this season was a disappointment for Hatem. He has to get his head in the game, and I think Deschamps is the right guy for that.
