Almost all the kids in the above u20 list are reserve team players including the Euro based kids. Tobías Palacios is an exception having played for the Argentinos first team.
Redondo Jr. was on fire today for Miami..
Such a shame he went to MLS. Hate to see that useless vacuum of wasted time they are always spending there now. Hope he plays very well and gets a move ASAP
