Rolando Bianchi is one of the latest hot prospects to come out of Italy, He is widely considered as one of the brightest promises of Italian football.
Bianchi is technically very strong, with high stats in ‘heading’, ‘first touch’, and ‘positioning’, his physical attributes aren’t too bad either and during preseason his stats usually stay at a reasonable level, and once back in training they shoot back up, to leave him in perfect stead, for a rigorous season, trying to bring Manchester City competent in Premiership.His ability has been attested to recently by his high-profile move to newly taken-over Man City.Bianchi scored on his debut for City.

American Phenomenal Soccer Player
Friday, 27 July 2007

Josmer (Jozy) Altidore (born November 6, 1989 in Livingston, New Jersey) is an American soccer striker, who currently plays for the New York Red Bulls of Major League Soccer.
Altidore was taken 17th overall in the 2006 MLS SuperDraft, with the MetroStars trading up to receive the selection. Altidore spent the majority of the 2006 season away from the team while working towards his high school diploma in Florida. Altidore made his professional debut 23 August 2006 as a substitute in a 3-1 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup loss to D.C. United. He scored his first professional goal at the age of 16, blasting an 83rd minute, 28-yard shot to beat Columbus 1-0 September 16, 2006. Scoring three times in seven appearances, including a crucial goal against the Chicago Fire on September 30 2006, Altidore became a fan favorite. He scored the Red Bulls' only goal of their 2-1 aggregate loss to D.C. United in the Eastern Conference Semifinals Series when he headed in a cross in the second leg. With that goal, he became the youngest player to score in the MLS playoffs at 16 years, 357 days (breaking DaMarcus Beasley's record by almost three years). Altidore was also youngest to start in an MLS playoff match on October 21 against D.C. United (16 years, 349 days).

The New Kevin Campbell come to Anfield
Thursday, 26 July 2007
Ryan Guno Babel (born December 19, 1986 in Amsterdam) is a Dutch professional football player who currently plays for Liverpool. He is right footed and plays as a striker or a left winger. He has been a member of the Netherlands national football team since 2005.Scouted by Ajax at the age of 11, he has obviously benefited by his time at the club since then. He became Holland's youngest scorer for 68 years with a goal on his full international debut, against Romania in 2005, and scored twice on the way to the last eight of the Under-20 World Cup the same year. This is a player born to play in the modern game, with all the physical attributes needed at the highest level.
Babel is big, strong, forceful player in the mould of a young Kevin Campbell - yet he just loves to come short for the ball.
Babel has a very good awareness of what is around him when he does receive the ball, which is important because you need almost peripheral vision in this area of the pitch. Ryan Babel Video
