Good natural football player for his age good close skills as well. Hibs do train youngsters this age as my grandson is eight and attends EM.

All you can really say about a good 8 year old footballer is that he is a good 8 year old footballer.

Nope when you have a young boy with that confidence at this age you nurture him how do you think Messi ended up with the skills he had. It certainly wasn't from runnin up and down sand dunes down at Gullane. :wink:

Professional clubs pick kids up and drop them regularly at that age. I have personal experience with kids at my own club. It's true that with the right nurturing, kids can improve, but equally a lot of care is required as they can burn out. Indeed, a lot of kids that end up pro don't actually get noticed until 14/15 years old. So realistically, all we can say is that this kid is a good 8 year old footballer, with potential to be better, given the correct coaching

Too young to be doing the 'dentist chair' right enough.
