Pretty sure lots and lots of teams in big five leagues can boast two home grown players.
Anyway, the argument will hold a lot more validity of they fulfill their potential and become genuine world class players, which we all hope they do.
6th most prolific trio in Top 5 leagues! Average age 21.3 years
- Thread starter roonster09
- Start date

Reckon you can add Sancho to that list
No Liverpool fans coming in to defend Bobby? Oh, yeah
I think the 56m was target based and up front fee was 38m? Maybe I'm wrong.
Anyway very impressive especially with Rashford being out so long. Season ain't over yet!
Lewandovski, sweet Jesus O Nazereth :/ What a fecking specimen he is 
Shame what happened to Muller though. Not taking anything away from him, still enjoy watching him play but 4/5 years ago he looked like he was going to be an absolute superstar.
Anyway - Think we can take a lot of positives from this. The average age, and also the company we're keeping around us in that little table, despite us clearly not having the best season (although iimproving exponentially since a certain arrival). Need this progresson to keep gathering momentum now.

I see what you're saying, but I think easing him in cautiously is precisely the reason he's been so successful. If Ole had just given in to the hype after those first few appearances, he'd have scored in a few more starts, the papers would have absolutely lost their minds over him, the pressure would have mounted, and a few goals without a game would have seen a massive backlash. 'Overrated', 'beginner's luck' etc. Being rotated out of the team would have been seen as being dropped, and potentially really hurt his confidence.
Ole played it perfectly, dropping him in here and there to score goals and build his confidence and his teammates' trust, but then lifting him out again to prevent a build-up of hype and pressure, and also to allow him to continue to develop physically without too much risk of an injury, which can be a disaster at this age.
Now he is settled, he is a stable part of the team, the press knows about him so if he starts banging them in there won't be such a hullabaloo about it. Now is the time to make him a regular. But we've got here the right way, by taking it slow.
I read somewhere we've now paid out any extras that we will have to, and it ended up being £44.7m. Not bad, in hindsight!
Already a thread

These three are lethal and will be important towards taking us back on top. Mason is too young, but unless he significantly develops his all around game, then we won’t need a right winger to mess up this chemistry

The other front 3s play together more. Martial was out for 2 months this season, Rashford missed about a month and a bit, Greewood is still on the fringes.
Thats really the reason for the low assists.
Jesus Christ, Lewandowski 
I totally missed what season he is having. He has scored more than Liverpool's attack, as much as Juventus (hey Cristiano) and almost as much as United's and Barca's (hi Messi).

Yeah pretty good, especially when you consider he is only 24 and currently looking like he is about to or at least capable of stepping it up a level.
Given that both the Bayern and Dortmund trio's would be at the top of this list with insane numbers, is it ok to question the goalscoring in the Bundesliga? Or is it simply a coincidence?

50 million down the drain...
If I supported another team I'd be thinking "yeah, thats not good"
the feck is this?Imagine if we signed Bruno in summer, sure boys would have scored more
Lewandowski what the feck you're supposed to decline after the age of 30
