Puyol>>>

Been a fixture since rivaldo barca and even through the current messi barca. Started as a right back who was always on doing step overs :lol:. To a solid defender when he matured. Never the best in his position at any point but still WC for the most part and a barca legend. Can see him retiring. Might sign for another club cant see it tho

Celtic sign 13-year-old Hamilton goalkeeper Joshua RaeBy Clive Lindsay BBC Scotland Sport

Celtic will beat Everton and Liverpool to the signature of a 13-year-old goalkeeper only days after he made his debut for Hamilton Under-20s.

Joshua Rae, who is 6ft 1in, played the final six minutes of Monday's 3-1 win over Partick Thistle's second string.

He was due to have a second trial spell with Liverpool, having also been with Premier League rivals Everton.

 

Although this is not a huge amount of money, it will be a welcome boost to our youth academy's coffers

Allan Maitland Hamilton Academical director in charge of youth development

But Accies director Allan Maitland told BBC Scotland: "His family have decided his future lies with Celtic."

Rae, who had previously been with Celtic and also travelled to Spain for a trial with Atletico Madrid last year, had become the youngest player to appear for Accies at under-20 level.

Maitland had hoped to persuade the Croy teenager and his family to continue his development with the Scottish Championship club.

"I am disappointed to lose another player, but I recognise that, as a Celtic supporter, when Celtic come calling, it is hard to resist," said Maitland, the former Accies team manager who is now the director in charge of youth development.

James McCarthy was sold to Wigan by Hamilton before his switch to Everton

"My argument was that he has developed better with us since leaving Celtic two years ago, but he will be signing for Celtic next week after he attends a Scotland trial."

Hamilton have earned a reputation for developing young talent, the most high profile being midfielders James McArthur and James McCarthy, who joined Wigan Athletic before McCarthy moved on to Everton.

However, Maitland said the fee they will receive from Celtic for Rae - two initial offers were rejected - will be miniscule in comparison to the near £2m generated from those deals.

"Celtic have been very professional, have handled it in the right manner and the compensation will be slightly more than what would have been due had he left at the end of the season," he said.

"It takes £250,000 per year to run our youth academy and, although this is not a huge amount of money, it will be a welcome boost to its coffers and it will mean more should he ever play for Celtic's first team.

"We would like to keep our best young players, but this is reality and is another compliment for the guys who run our young academy."

Rae is bidding to become the latest player to leave Graeme High School in Falkirk for a career in professional football, with previous successes including former Scotland, Liverpool and Celtic defender Gary Gillespie and current Falkirk players Robbie McNab and Craig Sibbald.

Sky Sports understands Charlton face a battle to keep hold of Diego Poyet, with a number of Premier League and foreign clubs tracking the midfielder.

 

Poyet has been one of Charlton's shining lights this season and caught the eye during their run to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

 

The 18-year-old, who is the son of Sunderland boss Gus, has been highly-regarded at Charlton for some time and he has established himself in the first team this season.

 

Poyet's potential has not gone unnoticed higher up the football pyramid with the likes Tottenham, West Ham and Fulham all keeping tabs on his progress.

 

The Spanish born-teenager is also thought to have admirers on the continent with Barcelona seeing him as a potential star of the future they can groom at Barcelona B, while Italian giants Inter Milan are also monitoring his situation at the Valley.

 

The England youth international is out of contract at the end of the season and Poyet's suitors are waiting in the wings to snap up him in the summer.

Spanish TV are saying

Griezmann>PSG>€30M

Sick signing he's gone from traditional winger to forward this season

Reckon he will be a good fit at PSG?

I have watched a lot of Griezmann

He isn't good enough for PSG yet

So one footed its unreal

With Menez/Lavezzi leaving in the summer

Griezmann being young/french fits the new philosophy

I guess Pogba is next
