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.

 

[KlausJopling]

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.

 

[JoVel]

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.

 

[gary69]

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?

Frankfurt couldn't cut the distance to Bayern as they lost to Leipzig 2-1. Sesko easily outjumped Trapp to head in the first goal. Marmoush held goalless, but 21-year old Nathan Brown scored with quite a hard shot for them. Didn't know anything aboout him before this season, but looks to be a capable player.

 

[gary69]

Harry Kane back in the starting line-up after 4 games.

And Musiala continues red hot, scoring after 30 seconds. And minute later Sesko makes it 1-1.

 

[JoVel]

Leipzig are laughably bad.

 

[gary69]

Leipzig are laughably bad.

Rose can't have much time left. Might make sense to sack him now and try to make some player personnel changes in January.

 

[Albatros]

Leipzig are laughably bad.

Nur die SGE.

 

[Jack Straw]

Very sweet finish by Schick.

 

[Jack Straw]

Wirtz scores a Wirtz goal

 

[Jack Straw]

Schick scores a header off a perfect cross from… oh yeah, Wirtz.

 

[Jack Straw]

Hat trick for Schick. Assist for Wirtz of course.

Edit: Make it 4 for Schick.

@Jack Straw I like your avatar, even if it includes a couple of really shitty teams

Should I ask which ones?

Do you even have to?

I don't really know who he likes, but 'm going to assume the Flyers are one of them. If I had to guess at the other I would go with the Eagles. He's not an Arsenal fan (afaik) so no reason to hate Spurs, and nobody really hates Leverkusen, right?

 

[cgf]

We've got a solid lead on the relegation teams...7pts over Heidenheim before they play tomorrow and 9pts over Kiel...but we really should've hit 20pts before the break and not getting more than just 1 pt from the Bochum, Wolfsburg, Leverkusen, & Stuttgart matches was very disappointing.

Yes, those last three are much richer than we are, but we deserved to draw each of those games, and should've beaten Bochum after they went down to 10. That's 5 pts we earned but left on the pitch.

Haha, Flyers of course. I'm an all around hater when it comes to the EPL. I'll hate on Spurs one week and Arsenal the next. Although currently City is the easiest target.

Fair enough.

 

[gary69]

Obviously Schick still had to finish those chances, but it must be great to play with Wirtz. He missed a PK, but had a great game otherwise.

 

[JoVel]

The promotion battle in the 2nd league is pretty intense. Like ten teams still have a realistic shot at promotion.

Yeah watching the BuLi2 table has been insane this season

3pts between 1st & 9th, and 14th just 6pts behind 9th.
