Adu vs Wesolowski: Both are midfielders, admittedly Adu is a Midfielder/Striker, where as Wesolowski is a box-to-box midfielder, Adu is 17 and playing for DC United in the MLS, people in and outside of the US have been keeping tabs on him for quite a long time, and had him touted as a potential world class player, with the same ability of Rossi and John Obi Mikel. However in the last year or so the US fans have become more and more sceptical, and he hasnt lived up anywhere near those expectations put on him. Now we compare him to James, probably at the moment the best young prospect Australia has, and in the top 3 young players in the championship. James is already crowned as the best young prospect out of Leicester in 25 years, hes 18 and would have played all of last season if not for his broken leg, will play all of this season, barring injury and looks set to make a huge impact on the championship for a man so young.
Johnson vs Williams: Now im not disputing the fact that johnson is the better player at the moment, but im talking prospects here. Johnson is 22, where as Williams is 18. But are both out and out strikers. Williams has forced his way into probably the best team in Scandanavia, after rejecting offers from Liverpool and Man Utd, for more regular first team action at Brondy, and looks set to see EUFA cup action this year because of some prolific scoring of late. Johnson is playing in the MLS but has won some awards for top goal scorer etc, and is a semi-regular for the US national team. Where as Williams, has only represented Aus at junior level. They are similar in style, with Williams being alot quicker however, but Johnson stronger in the air. It would be more fair however, at the moment, to compare 21 yr old Nick Ward with Johnson, or Josh Kennedy, just an indication of the depth at the moment of those coming through.
