Young Premiership Players to Watch Next Season

[youngirish]

Not a Premiership player but keep an eye on Scott Davies for Reading in the Championship this year. He was excellent on his debut yesterday and really does look a real talent.

I've been hearing good things about this lad. He'll be on tv next week when Reading play Newcastle.

Treacy and Keogh scored tonight. Both have started the season very well getting good reviews on their respective fans message boards. Treacy's goal in particular was very impressive a 25 yard shot with his right foot into the top corner.

McCann played the full 90 minutes in Burnley's 1-0 win against United. Looked very composed and solid. Mature beyond his years I think is the expression I'd use to describe him. He overshadowed Carrick in the midfield. Ratings from Burnley fans here:

Mark Wilson also had a very good game in Portsmouth's defeat though I didn't see much of this game.

A very positive 2 days for the young Irish players all round I think.

Unbiased bunch


I'll tell you someone who will go for decent money over the next 12 months: Chris McCann at Burnley. He's a really good player, someone will offer for £4-5 million for him.

Not my words, but the words of Alan Bruce McInally.

Agreed, he looks very confident and seems to have quite a lot of talent. Maybe a bit raw at times but I'd have no problem with him being in our squad.

Just a small point- its Marc.

He has been one of the highlights to Pompey's poor start of the season.

That's good to hear because the praise usually only came from those that watched him every week.

This is the type of praise I'd personally pay more attention to rather than take the word of a sky sports pundit.

Me too. It's good to see that some neutrals have noticed him though. I like him a lot obviously as I've said many times. Think he's a very, very similar player to James McCarthy.
