At this point his value is low no matter his age. He has had trouble being relevant in the pitch.
That said maybe he needs more time and L1 is a very difficult league for young strikers.

A 20 year old struggling in Ligue Un vs a 24 year old struggling there is a big difference. As we know from all sports, age plays massively into how player contracts are arrived at. You always pay for potential, and obviously a 4 year gap is a big issue there.

I think Evilo's point was that if his struggles to breakthrough at the senior level don't change, it doesn't really matter. He has shown enough talent to be a high-level player regardless of his age...and we've seen forwards like Undav breakthrough at an age even higher than what Mouki's PoS father is alledging...but nobody is going to pay for Moukoko as one of the top prospects on the planet anymore even if testing confirmed that he was just 20.

Until he can maintain a good scoring rate while starting consistently at the senior level, he's a roll of the dice and no longer a hotshot young starlet, regardless of his age.

Anyways, great to see that Kompany didn't learn a thing while Pavlo was injured and went right back to the Kimmich-Pavlovic double-pivot despite the lack of robustness. You'd think it would be easy to copy what Nagelsmann is doing the way Jogi used to copy what Pep was doing, but nope. Buddy has to do things his own way / doesn't have the clout to get Kimmich to play RB.

I will never understand why Nübel was/is rated by anyone. Good shot by Wanner, but that's a goal I'd be disappointed with Rönnow for giving up.

Schlotterbeck may be starting today, would be crazy after how bad things looked.

Reyna starting back to back games for the first time in what seems like 3 years, with his first goal for Dortmund in almost a year and a half.

Awful game. Hoffenheim eventually tied it due to brutal coverage by Lührs, but tough to blame a kid who never should've been on the pitch in the first place. Wouldn't have deserves the win anyway.

Good for Reyna at least.

Yeah, that was bad and soft marking by Luhrs on that late Hoffenheim goal, but did they have any other options as he replaced injured Couto for the last few minutes?
