Just the usual BDL vs PLDL battle.
Somebody was saying that Musiala is unproven because he plays in the farmers league and not in the "best league there ever was and ever will be"... and it went downhill from there.
Jamal Musiala

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Back to "not-the-Jamal-Musiala-thread"
At least we can probably agree that Musiala playing for Bayern is the only positive outcome of Brexit.
For his career that probably was the best...
He is unproven, his 2 goals in 19 European appearances shows he can't hack it outside the Bundesliga yet.
Dude, give it a rest, your nonsense is tiresome.
Haaland?
He has only spend half a season in the PL. That was great but can't really be compared yet to those other players who spend years in the PL.
Strange that he has not been mentioned but the clear winner is Klinsmann.
You mean the Benjamin Mendy whose majority of accusers have already been shown in court as liars and subsequently dismissed? Yes, sure.
The reason I don’t like discussing German football on here. The same handful of users exchanging the same arguments time and time again, but getting a bit more aggressive each time.
Ignore it, I’m not German but I can acknowledge no English attacker has had the potential Musiala has since Rooney.
Saka Foden Greenwood Sancho at times have looked close, but nah, you just have to watch Musiala a few times to know the type of talent he has is incredibly rare, even rarer than the aforementioned. Dribbling wise after Messi and Neymar he could argue to be the best around at 19, and he’s combined that with goal contributions this season also.
I didn't mention him because he joined the PL from Monaco and played in Italy before that. Also, he's not a bigger PL "success" than someone like Kompany or De Bruyne, and Haaland already has 5 more goals this season than Klinsmann ever managed.
Overrated?
Based on one game?
Nope, but I have seen him ineffective many times outside the Bundesliga.
He needs to get out to test himself properly.
Dominates in a farmers league, overrated and ineffective.
He just turned 20 ffs
Sancho looked even better at his age. Imo.
He's brilliant. I'd pay a king's ransom to bring him to United.
Not allowed to have a bad game it seems
Is that not to be expected from a lad who has turned 20 not so long ago?
He wasn't fantastic, but he still had more about him than any other Bayern attacker.
Got a footballing Education tonight.
He’ll comeback stronger.
He’ll comeback stronger.
He’s a great player and a fantastic talent but of course the scouts on here write him off after one game
Be funny if Bayern win the next leg 3-0. And to be honest, stranger things have happened in the CL. So many sweeping statements about a player, team and league based off one game.
Nah
He's a brilliant player. Not his best game today. End of story. Anyone trying to construct some other narrative is being silly.
Gnabry and Coman are shit so I’m honestly not surprised.
Would I be correct in saying that despite his good end product in the Bundesliga where Bayern have a stranglehold, in terms of becoming a truly great footballer what Musiala needs to improve on is his end product? Whenever I catch highlights of him (it’s just here and there) his dribbling naturally stands out but he doesn’t come across as a great passer (say like Iniesta was) so he would have to work on his final third work to become a truly top player. And for some reason when I watch him he doesn’t really look convincing in that regard.
Obviously he’s just a kid and his game should develop over time but I’m wondering if that assessment of where he is, is correct.

Par for course.
I have only seen him in Bundesliga where he has had good end product, not sure of the numbers but I remember a few assists and goals.
I don’t think Bayern have the fire power for it this season. That too against a side like City. Now have to hope Madrid or Chelsea (urgh) can knock them out.
Hoping he falls out with Tuchel so we can swoop in and snatch him.
Special player.
Should be a target, type of technical player we are severely lacking, Bayern would surely accept the price we paid for Antony
LoI. No
Surely you are kidding
