Tevez is 20 i believe... so i wouldn't call him young. Saviola the other argentine is more established as he is already with Barca for 2 years. but Tevez proly has more potential being 2 years younger... i wonder which euro team is gonna get him first. FC Bayern might swallow him for 10-15 million pounds. Tevez i think is already too old to become the next Maradona...
players like Adu and Paim might come close if everything goes well for them... they might even be better than Pele and Maradona. Adu and Paim is only 14... i've being following their progress since they were 13.
here is an article for Mr Freddy Adu's info:
"Freddy Adu was eight years old when his Ghanian mother, Emelia, won an immigrant visa in the US Green Card Lottery and the family moved to the USA.
A natural ball player, in 1998, Freddy's soccer prowess came to the attention of the US Olympic Development Program and he attended trials for youth prospects at a US Soccer Federation Camp.
He so impressed his coaches that he was chosen for a US regional select team and played in a series of games against Italian youth sides in 1999 and 2000.
The top Italian club, Inter Milan spotted his talent and immediately offered a package reportedly worth $700,000 to attach him to their youth program and oversee his soccer development.
An offer his mother refused.
After becoming an American citizen, Freddy made his official US Under-17 National Soccer Team debut (March 2003) at the qualifying tournament for the Under-17 World Cup Championship.
Since then, Freddy has signed a $1million (630,000 UK pounds) sponsorship deal with Nike, the sports equipment manufacturer.
And now rumors circulating in Britain suggest that Manchester United, the English Premier League giants, are preparing to sign the boy superstar - although Under English Premier League rules, he could only join United's Youth Academy. Signing a professional contract would have to wait until his 17th. birthday.
But will his mother Emelia hold out?
Say 'no' - again?
You can bet a Soccer agent's bottom dollar - there's going to a lot of twists to the Adu tale.
But when Inter Milan and Man. Utd. - two of the biggest clubs in Europe are excited - Freddy Kofi Adu is shaping up to be soccer's version of the American dream."
