Not sure if its been mentioned but I've just seen this....

A Dutch football club has signed a one-year-old player after seeing a clip of him kicking balls into his toy box.
VVV Venlo has taken youth scouting to the extreme by placing 18-month-old toddler Baerke van der Meij under contract.
His dad posted the video of him showing off his skills on YouTube where it attracted more than 150,000 hits.
It shows him skillfully and accurately chipping three balls into a toy chest, reports The Sun.
VVV Venlo, his local club, have signed him up to a ten-year "token" contract. His grandad played for the same team.
A club spokesman said: "The toddler's favourite position has not yet been determined.
"But we can speak of a right-footed player with a very good kicking technique, perseverance and, importantly, football genes via his grandfather."

Ummmm, bit extreme??
 
This is the best thing i have ever heard ever
 
gotta get em while they're young and cheap :p
 
He's better than most ten year olds that I've coached tbh.
 
they're obviously just thinking because of his grandad. but the video how many kids do you know that can do that ? I probably couldnt chip all 3 in there lol.
 
Next we will hear Clubs signing a Fetus.
 
This manager is better than Wenger.
 
He has a great shot that one, in the immortal worlds of that Scotsman, 'TAKE A BOW SON!'
But this is truly strange. Strangely epic that is.
 
The way things are at the moment, he'll be on loan at Argyle next season for "First Team Expierence".... and be our top scorer :(

To be fair, at the age of 1, or two as he would be if he joined us on loan, and to score even one goal.. I wouldn't complain ;)
