Kinda surprised (unless I missed it), but Manchester City has laid claim to one of "my" kids (been a river fan for all of my 46.9 years). Caludio Echeverri. Let me tell you... he might not be the next Messi, but I'd wager he ends up not too far off the mark. Holy hell can this kid play.
The other U18 to watch is Augustin Ruberto, also from my club. Just a stellar young talent.
I'll tell ya, players between 16-25 look pretty damn bright for Argentina right now. Dare I say we're coming up on maaaaaaaaybe a bit of a "golden generation". Probably the best crop of young talent since the late 90's, early 2k's.
