of players who never do anything with their careers. You may not have heard of Rhain Davis, the
Australian kid who was "signed" by Manchester United at the age of nine in 2007, but that story was covered in great depth and his career never went anywhere. We don't have an article for him for that exact reason. Even the Barcelona youngster Marc Jurado, who is expected to sign for Manchester United very soon (a story that has also been covered in great depth and he's almost twice the age Davis was when United signed him), doesn't have an article here. Unfortunately, football gets a disproportionate amount of coverage in modern media, which results in stories being reported before the subject has actually done anything important. In Mejbri's case, it is not him who is notable, but the fact that he was transferred to Manchester United for millions of pounds at the age of just 16. –

and others, although some tabloid, it all adds up. His transfer price at such a young age also has produced a number of sources/citations. It's a rare case to have GNG before NFooty, however in this case there is enough on the web to easily establish the notability. I really don't think there will be

No, this is definitely not a conversation about whether the guy has a potential career ahead, it's a conversation about whether or not he's actually done anything noteworthy yet. Granted, sources have covered him despite him never having played a senior match in his life, but that happens for a lot
472:
I would 100% say the same. This is not a discussion between football connoisseur about whether a player has a potential career ahead or not. The goal here is to assess if this subject reaches the consensual guidelines that this encyclopedia tried to define, i.e. the GNG and its complementary
325:" is just not true. He's played for two top European clubs and accumulated a high total transfer fee in the process, while being seen as one of Europe's top prospects. He has more coverage than a young player who has just made his debut in League Two, for example.

and the article for the person who played 7 games for fully professional football club is deleted, in this case for the person who never played a game in a senior level he says to keep the article. Two cases are very similar.
241:. If he actually ever plays a professional match, the info currently in the article will be great background info, but saying "a few big clubs wanted to sign him but he hasn't actually done anything yet" isn't good enough. –

We have the football guidelines for a reason. If a player does not pass them there is absolutely no reason we should keep an article on the person if theur own possible claim to notability is related to playing

and when combined with then other coverage I am satisfied GNG is met. However some of the sources need to be removed - Express is a tabloid, and there are other non-RS/fan sites.
