There's a lot more new Belgian talents coming indeed. A few year youngers than the players you've listed: Adnan Januzaj (16, best player with Man.Utd. youth), Zakaria Bakkali (17, most promising name from PSV), Matthias Bosschaerts (16, just signed a prof-contract with Man.City), Charly Musonda Jr. (16, biggest talent in the world of that age together with Halilovic) etc.
In the Belgian League the best players are IMO:
- Dennis Praet: 18 years old, Anderlecht. Central midfielder with an unbelievable vista and passing. Only lacks power, he's a small guy but he was the most important player of Anderlecht in their best period (before new year).
- Cheikhou Kouyaté: 23, Anderlecht. Center back. He's strong and very fast. The best defender in our league together with Kanu of Standard (who is another type, more a leader, a very strong player who twice a season makes a red card-worthy foul)
- Matias Suarez: 25 years old, Anderlecht. Winger who can play as a (shadow) striker. Great technique and vista and also quick. The only Argentinian player of Anderlecht who can make the difference at a higher level (fuck Biglia) also Golden shoe winner in 2011. He normally went to CSKA Moscow but they cancelled the transfer due to problems with his knee (who are solved now)
- Dieumerci Mbokani: 27 years old, Anderlecht. Striker who is fysically an absolute beast. Very complete striker (good in the air, strong, fast, scores often). Has been awarded as Golden shoe this year.
- Silvio Proto: 30 years old, Anderlecht. Best goalkeeper in the league, but he is a fucking cunt. He can't handle it when fans of the other team are shouting at him. He's always very nervous when he plays before our curva in Liège. Last season there was a protest for our directors and we threw a lot of pyro on the pitch (the match has been stopped, just like Inter-AC Milan in the CL a couple of years ago) and Proto was going mental. After the incidents, Anderlecht gave away their 0-1 lead into a 2-1 defeat.
- Thorgan Hazard: 20 years old, Zulte Waregem. On loan from Chelsea and younger brother of Eden. Winger who can play as an attacking midfielder. Good vista, passing and shot. Not so quick as Eden but he has a higher work-rate.
- Junior Malanda: 18 years old, Zulte Waregem. Central midfielder and he's enormous. A tank like they say. Has to work on his passing IMO.
- Imoh Ezekiel: 19 years old, striker. Standard Liège. Quickest player in Belgium I think. He's first complete year in the league and he did very well. Played in the Nigerian second division last year but he performed very well. Scored 16 goals and was IMO our best player.
- Michy Batshuayi: 19 years old, striker. Standard Liège. Great technique and he's also fast. Has even more talent than Ezekiel but he's inconsistent. One match great, one match awful. Did well this season with 11 goals if i'm right.
- William Vainqueur: 24 years old, central midfielder. Standard Liège. Fulham is chasing him and I can understand why. He's someone who can keep the ball in the midfield and has a good passing and vista. But which i appreciate the most is that he wins a lot of possession (I don't know how to say this in English.. Kevin could help me maybe, I mean "balverovering"). Same story as Batshuayi, a lot of talent but so inconsistent.
- Lior Refaelov: 27 years old. Winger/Attacking midfielder. Club Brugge. I love this player. Really nice to see, 2-footed, great technique and vista and also quick. But again, he can't play well regulary.
- Victor Vazquez: 26 years old. Attacking midfielder. Club Brugge. Some of you may know him because he was once a talent at Barcelona. Played in the youth with Messi and Piqué. Great vista and technique, but it seems he can't play 90 minutes because his stamina is not that good.
- Maxime Lestienne: 20 years old. Winger, Club Brugge. What a fantastic player he is. Quick, good finishing, good cross, great technique. The boy has it all. Left-footed but he can play on the left or the right wing. Called up for the Belgiam team and I think he will be our future right-winger, with Eden Hazard on the left and De Bruyne in the middle.
- Carlos Bacca: 27 years old. Striker, Club Brugge. I don't like him but I don't dare to leave him out of the list because the Colombian guys will screw me otherwise. :trollol:
He's fast and scores very often. I'm not convinced because he's not that good in the air and his technique is not great.
- Ilombe Mboyo: 26 years old. Striker, AA Gent. Kevin will now him better than me but I like the guy. Very complete striker, I'd compare him with Mbokani. Not easy to handle but a great football player. Will probably go to Anderlecht or Norwich.
- Jelle Vossen: 24 years old. Striker, RC Genk. Very consistent striker. High working-rate and scores every year +/- 20 goals. Not really quick, strong or a great technique but a very clever player. Would be a good striker for teams like Atalanta, Sampdoria, Genoa etc. The Italian league would fit him perfectly I think.
