The Rapids took an important step today by signing midfielder Davy Armstrong. He's a local player
who is the first to come up through the Rapids academy system and sign for the club. Being
classified as a homegrown talent means that Armstrong takes one of the two protected homegrown
talent spots on the roster and does not count against the salary cap.
Just like last season, I thought I would have a look at the top teenagers currently
playing in the Premier League. These footballers are all destined to be top players and may even
turn out to be World class if they continue to expand on their already flourishing
reputations.
According to reports, Liverpool and Arsenal are ready to battle it out for the signature
of Southampton teenager Alexander Oxlade-Chamberlain....

Buchtmann to Fulham, those were among the more presentable and even they had to be doctored a

Remember Wayne Harrison? Or Richie Partridge? What about John Welsh? The likelihood is that some,
if not all, of those names will sound familiar but certainly not as much as had been expected.
In their youth - and we're talking about when they were just out of school here - all three had

time he'll be approaching 32 and probable retirement.

Liverpool manager, Roy Hodgson has mentioned that he need to get one or two...
It is impossible not to notice Michael Ngoo. During games he sticks out as an adult playing with a
bunch of kids would, such is the gap in height between the 6 ft 4 tall striker and the rest of the
players. The difference is so marked that it is difficult not to presume, even if fleetingly, that
his inclusion might be purely to leverage on his height and get the team some easy goals.
LONDON, England Chelsea sporting director Frank Arnesen will leave at the end of the season when
his contract expires, the second member of the English champions' off-field team to announce this
