mikeyp102 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 It amazes me how well German football brings through young players. Bayern yesterday had Jamal Musiala playing and scoring at 17. Bellingham will get games this year a lot. They seem so comfortable introducing young players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep its part of the cultures at the league, would Alphonso Davies have been given all that game time last season at City I dont think so. It also helps that a lot of managers in Bundesliga like to play attacking risk free football that is no fear playing younger players 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Bellingham start and assist today. Be great if giving the kids a chance catches on in the Premier League. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dortmund's young (and English-born, strangely enough) attack is remarkable: Reyna (17), Bellingham (17), Håland (20), and Sancho (20) all looking like players who'll be playing at the top level for more than a decade to come.

Perhaps it's because he's a capped Norway international. Southgate could technically still get Reyna, but he won't.

Its much easier to blood youngsters when only two teams can win the league, and one of them notoriously doesn't have the consistency to do so. English teams can't take as many risks with young players because there's one of three or four rivals who can win the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okonokos Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Hoffenheim were awesome to watch today. I'm tipping them for a good season. Might challenge for a top 4 place. They have a really well balanced and exciting squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayern and especially Dortmund and Leipzig blood players all the time. Would United be worse from giving Tuanzebe a chance than paying 80million on Maguire for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Alaba could be leaving on a free next summer, bayern have withdrawn their latest offer with rumours that he wants silly money Not sure where he fits, no doubt will get a man City link, pep could have him playing anywhere, would be good for us with Luiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Youssoufa Moukoko turns 16 today and with that is eligible for selection for Dortmund. Would make him the youngest player ever in the league and it looks likely he will be in the squad. Insert the "he's actually 25" conspiracy stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
