What's this guys potential? World class or all time great?
Endrick - Lyon Loan Lighting up Ligue 1
- Thread starter BenitoSTARR
- Start date
How does he even fit in at Madrid over the next 2-3 years at the very least, while Mbappe is there? Wide forward role? 2 up top? A lot can change when n football but yeah, interesting.
Suppose they have similar with Jude and Paz.

I think he could be a ballon D’or competitor with Yamal.
I can’t think of a better ball striker at 19 or under in world football.
I’d assume:
Tchouameni
Bellingham Güler
Endrick————————Vini Jr
Mbappe
I think they’ll sell Rodrygo.Bellingham Güler
Endrick————————Vini Jr
Mbappe
They will sell Vini to Saudi.
Move Mbappe to LW, Endrick at 9 and buy a new RW / use Rodrygo there
Reminds me of a young Obertan
He looks like a mix between Bebeto & Adriano
Bit of both, the grandma part is obviously an hyperbole.
Ronaldinho played at PSG until he was 23 years old and it didn't go too badly for the team that signed him that summer.
Yeah that can work with a coach like Ancelotti (or Zidane etc).
Yeah, either way if they’re selling Vini or Rodrygo (or both!), they need better balance up top. Will be interesting to see if Mbappe wants to move back out to the LWF
Blantantly not good enough for Madrid a month ago, with serious anger management issues, and 5 matches later we are discussing whether he has all time great potential o just world class. We football fans are really something else 
But are we preparing a bid?

The difference is he's now playing in a farmer's league...

I’ve been pretty consistent about how I rate him, regardless of a brief stint at Madrid at 18 (where he still had a brilliant goals per 90).Blantantly not good enough for Madrid a month ago, with serious anger management issues, and 5 matches later we are discussing whether he has all time great potential o just world class.

People love to get giddy on here...does make me laugh the hyperbole that's spouted about young players!
His hat trick was against a team that has conceded over 2 goals a game in average...I think context should be brought back into the equation here...

La Liga isnt all that either.
Fair enough, I'm probably just too old and/or jaded for all the hyperbole.
It's just that his production so far is a hat trick against the 18th in Ligue 1 and a couple of goals in the cup, one of them against a Ligue 2 team.

Normally I’d agree, I just don’t think this is hyperbolic. He makes his own shots, has an incredible striking technique, acceleration is outstanding and hes got the mentality. It’s a really great combination of skills that I can’t think of another player who has his profile as strong as he does.
The reason I’m excited isn’t because of the goals, it’s because of the skillset he possesses and were it easy to do what he’d done we’d see far more players doing it.
Like there’s currently only 2 players I’m fully convinced can become outstanding in their positions (that aren’t really obviously already made it kind of players) and that is Yan Diomande and Endrick.
It's not only about the football level. It's the pressure level you can take. Being at Madrid is a complete different world compared to Lyon. The same happens with Utd, when you see some players leave and perform better (Anthony for example) at Real Betis.
His numbers in Real Madrid are good, it was just lack of minutes.
