Who da man coming now?

Every year the A-League is churning out new Aussie stars. This year is no different. There's more this year than any year in my view and a couple with real quality others with real potential.

Some like Mark Viduka, Brett Emerton and Ned Zelic will go straight from the domestic league to top European sides. Others like Nicky Carle will wander around China, England and Turkey maybe never really getting to a leading team.

Either way if you standout in the A-League at a young age you have a great chance to make it in the game, maybe a top overseas contract or maybe a Socceroos gig.

Here's the ones who have impressed this year so far, of those (mostly)who have made their entrance this year. And don't worry next year there'll be another load of young Aussies with the ball at their feet and a chance to dance. What a great time to be a young gun.

Definite Socceroos of the future in my lame view all other things, injuries, drugs, girls, AFL, agents, and a decent career path:

Mathew Leckie...when was the last really pacy exciting Aussie young forward actually see Kofi below.
Mitch Langerak....our next
Kofi Danning
Ben Kantarovski

Possible Socceroos
Tommy Oar
Todd Howarth (age?)

Made a strong impact but fair way to go yet to reach A-League standout level:

Chris Payne
Mate Dugandzic
Tando Velaphi
Anthony Juric (age?)
Sean Rooney
Michael Marrone (at 22 maybe a tad old...but you never know...think Jedinak)
Daniel Mullen
Scott Neville
Rhyan Grant
Anthony Golec
Adam Sarota
