    The BBC piece on him: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20769208

    "Barcelona have compiled a "detailed dossier" on Derby's 17-year-old midfielder Will Hughes"

    "Hughes was the deserved man of the match after tearing Leeds to shreds during Derby's 3-1 win"

    "There was his wonderfully disguised threaded pass that led to Conor Sammon putting the Rams in front and a stand-out mazy run with the sort of tight control that hinted at a youth spent playing futsal. Countless times he knitted his team's play together; always finding space, always willing to take possession and shoulder responsibility."

    Performance against Leeds:

    He seems extremely comfortable/ composed on the ball, sound technically, and it seems that derby may sell in january if really pressured into it, but probably wait until the summer, the only thing i'd be wary about is the step up from championship to the prem but seeing as he's 17 i wouldn't see that as too much of a problem.

    He's excellent. Raw talent though - still needs alot of coaching.

    Christian Eriksen? The guy's a good talent. But he's done nothing of note, to have players dubbed after him. Ridiculous.

    I was very underwhelmed by his performances in the Euro's.

    He molested us. Kind of player Arsenal already have x1000 though, I imagine.

    That wasn't the intention. I meant it like Oxo is the next Walcott, or Zaha is the next Oxo. I saw some similarities and went with it. You're right Eriksen has done nothing of note, and underperformed at the Euros.

    Looks like an albino prince Harry, tackles like a normal Paul Sholes.....meh! The kid may actually be a real talent but that video did pretty much nothing to back up the claim.
