I happened to stumble across a thread from late 2006 - early 2007 which asked posters who they thought were the best 10 players on their list that were 21 and under in terms of potential.
After reading many threads in my time on BF, I have noticed whenever threads concerning young players and the word potential are debated, there are often calls to come back in 2-3 years and then make judgments.
What I want to do is revisit said thread and re-assess players now based on their actual output and how far they have come, some 3 and a bit seasons later.
I don't mean to steal Don77's thunder; yet I didn't want to bump his thread and change the parameters of the OP, which is why I have started this one.
Here is that thread.
What I am suggesting is that people critique their own posts or those of others in our 'mother' thread if you like rolleyes and perhaps confirm or re-jig a new top 10 based on their current worth and output.
There are players who have come and gone at clubs since the original thread, so for the purpose of this thread we shall only deal with players who were on the list and remain so who were 21 and under at the time of Don77's OP.
This website may be of some assistance in working out what players are eligible.
It's obvious that some players will still have scope for improvement but for this thread we are dealing with current day - actuals and are interested in what eligible players have had their Potential Realised!
Should be interesting...
