Jean Marie Dongou Tsafack



Age: 17
Position: Striker
Club: Barcelona B
Nationality: Cameroon

The spirit of Samuel Eto'o lives on at Barcelona. That's the simplest way to describe Dongou. He came to Barcelona through the Samuel Eto'o Foundation and has not looked back since. He's a true 9. He reminds me so much of Eto'o when I see highlights. He's quick a natural goal scorer, strong as hell for his age, is good at getting into goal-scoring positions, has a powerful shot, but most importantly, he knows when to lay it off to a teammate instead of taking the shot himself. He's playing with Barca B now, but he's still raw. He's the perfect example of what I've been clamoring for at Barca for a long time now: just an out and out striker.

Dongou vs Celtic U19
Highlights

I was originally going to do Gerard Deulofeu, but I decided to go with someone I'd be surprised if most fo you have heard of tbh. That, and Sergi Samper didn't have any good highlights on youtube lol

How long till you can expect Tsafack to get any playing time at Barca? Nice write , as well.

It's a bit funny seeing some of the names in this thread. Hindsight is 20/20 but seeing Hendo and stuff is still good for a laugh.

Edit: damn typos.

Henderson is just hindered by his price tag. Think that when Henderson saw that he might have been sold last summer it lit a fire under him. Looking at Kempes report, I think he will never have the creativity and flair seen under the prime years of Cole but he is showing the maturity and intelligence of a Carrick. His work rate and pressing has been crucial to whenever he plays which we all know is key for Rodgers. He is great in the short passes and trying to dictate tempo which once again we see is key is Rodgers system. He has been given game time with Allen needing rest and has looked even better than him lately. Give him time. He will become a quality CM in the PL.

Victor Wanyama



Age: 21
Position: CDM/CM
Club: Celtic
Nationality: Kenyan

Celtic paid £900,000 for this guy in 2011. I'd say he's more than slipped another zero on the end of that fee, should he leave Celtic in the Summer. Wanyama is a destroyer who is equally as elegant. Think rocket launcher with a whole load of fancy settings. I've seen him play many times and he's as consistent as you can possibly be. When you initially see Wanyama in the centre of the field, you inevitably think he must be some sort of ball winning workhorse who doesn't have much technical ability. You'd be surprised (like I was). I don't see any weaknesses in his game as a Midfielder. He's strong, athletic, composed and plays with passion. If I had to compare him to a player, I'd say he's similar to Alex Song. A combative midfielder who has the ability to play aswell. There's no doubt he's too good for the SPL. If you saw him play against Barcelona in the Champions League, you'd know he looked very much at home. The elite clubs of the world really need to make their move before they lose out on what I think will be one of the best defensive midfielders in the world soon enough.

There are a lot who seem to think he has Viera's potential. I'm not sure about that but I've seen him play a few times and he does seem like an incredible talent.
