Zatman Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 agreed to join Bayern apparently. Think this is a bad move for him though slightly older Shaqiri has just been a bit part player in Munich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) think hojbjerg is a better example, said last month he wants to leave because he has little chance of playing but at the same time what he has learnt in his time there will make him a better player this kid could be the same, is it better to join us and play 20 times a season for the next 2 years, liverpool and play 5 gamaes years or join bayern and play 0 games but be in a better youth set up? the big question is now hojbjerg has said he wants out do bayern let him go, do they ask for too much money or does he think that he'll walk out of bayern and straight in to say man utd for £50k a week? halilovic at barca B would be another example Edited December 16, 2014 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) except when Van Gaal was manager its rare a youth player at Bayern to be given such a chance since they cherry pick other rivals. Muller, Alaba and Badstuber all got break under him and before that Lahm probably last player to emerge and that was after 2 years on loan, maybe Schweinsteiger but they never played him centrally. They even discarded Hummels when they werent even at their best defensively Edited December 16, 2014 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Yeah I know that, but it's hard to say hojbjerg is wrong, he claims that sitting in bayerns youth team has been a better education than playing occasionally at a lower level This new kid could be exactly the same, is doing what grealish is doing better than 2 years training in and around bayerns 1st team under pep and a host of german ex superstar coaches, even if he didn't play? In my mind it's the timing of when you get out, shaqiri has the problem that he's not playing but he's well enough established for bayern to ask for £15-25m for him and him ask for £80k a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 He's slightly younger than Jimmy Brown was when he made his debut for Villa in 1969. My guess he's far more talented though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAZZAM Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) Yeh but he can play in their B team. Edited January 7, 2015 by KAZZAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepDish Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Sad, he'll now rot on the bench if he signs with Bayern or Madrid. That is true. But imagine how he will develop, playing with the likes of Bale and Ronaldo in training. And he will see how hard they train and will hopefully not relax and think he has made it. All in all, I think Ajax would have been the best choice. But I think Madrid is a better choice than becoming the biggest fish in a small German club, where he can "relax".

villa89 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) Gone to Real. I hope it works out for the lad but it will be very difficult to make it to the first team there. SkySports Edited January 8, 2015 by villa89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Madrid is where established stars from other top leagues go to sit on the bench, let alone unproven prodigies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Confirms he has joined Real Madrid. Too big a move too soon I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 He'll play for Castilla initially, think that will be the last we hear from him though personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Should have joined Barca out of the lot of them, maybe Arsenal. Real don't bring through youngsters too often, they just buy big name replacements most of the time. Probably go the way of Guti etc and only play 25% of games before he reaches 30 and thinks "hmm, maybe I should go and play football for the last 2/3 years of my career". Saying that, if he's as good as everyone says he is, he might have a chance, but there's an awfully good chance he could suffer from burn out in his early 30s.

Nicho Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Guti played over 500 games for Madrid. Theres a couple of teams that you do go to at certain ages that have proven successful in development. Would have been much better served going to Ajax or Arsenal. Only the future will tell.
