Farmers league.
Any examples? Genuine question.Pogba in his first years was so immensely talented and seemed destined for greatness, as does Bellingham, but in Pogba's case I think it's his mentality that won't allow it.
I remember when Pogba and Lukaku joined United they did an interview together, and I really liked Lukaku. Pogba on the other hand in that interview came across as an immature retard. Not just saying dumb things, as a lack of intelligence can be forgiven, but he was actually saying dumb things thinking they were cool. And that at age 23. Back then I already suspected he wouldn't reach his potential.
Bellingham on the other hand doesn't seem to have that characteristic, but things can change. I think he'll be alright.
Hes looked very good for bvb to be fair. And it's great for young players to be around the senior squad as much as possible. He wont get many minutes if any at all, but it'll be good for him.Anyone else become a little fearful when really young players get called up?
With Southgate, yes!Anyone else become a little fearful when really young players get called up?
The benefit for him is he's not under the media spotlight as much because he's out in Germany. The media won't look to make his life hell until he moves to the PL.Anyone else become a little fearful when really young players get called up?
It was only a matter of when he got called up not if.Shouldn't he be pretty close to a call up anyway, given England's lack of quality in CM?
Yes with Henderson, Rice, Winks, Phillips (Injured) and Ward-Prowse (Now injured).Shouldn't he be pretty close to a call up anyway, given England's lack of quality in CM?
If this keeps happening then Southgate has to lose his job.Him but not Grealish? madness.
Ehm Grealish is in the squadHim but not Grealish? madness.
He's been in and out of the team. From the 17 league games he has played in 13 games, 8 as a starter. While he played in all 6 games in the UCL, 4 as a starter. He has around 1,000 minutes and has provided 3 assists.How has he been playing this season?
It really needs to be reiterated that he is 17. Those really are excellent numbers for a kid’s breakthrough season in a big league whatever way you look at it.He's been in and out of the team.

Also stats should be judged somewhat relative to overall team form. A poorly functioning Dortmund side is going to diminish his chances of putting up bigger numbers. Conversely, the poorer Dortmund are the more impressive his current stats are.It really needs to be reiterated that he is 17.

Totally agree mate, even being in the squad is a great achievement for a 17 year old. But for all the hype he produced the expectations were higher, but damn he arrived there just after turning 17, its really unfair to demand more from him at this moment.It really needs to be reiterated that he is 17.

Yeah but burnout, bulk up, too-much-too-soon, ease him in and for the experience.18 League appearances (904 minutes) and played in all 7 of Dortmund's CL matches (427 minutes). And still not 18. That's phenomenal experience for such a young player. Can't imagine we would have given him anything close to those minutes.

I was about to say sheep, but then I remembered us beating them 6-2 this season. Horses, maybe?It must also be reiterated that he's playing against farmers
Leverkusen fan?People say Farmers league but they werent saying that when we wanted to throw 100m on a player from the same team. Strange cause there is also a centre forward from the same team that's broken a CL record from the very same farmers league too....
It’s also a league that has had the same winner 8 years in a row. Everyone knows why it’s called a farmers league.People say Farmers league but they werent saying that when we wanted to throw 100m on a player from the same team.

Nope....Leverkusen fan?
......and the very team absolutely blew the other teams away in Europe last year and will probably do the same this year. CL must be a Farmers cup comp too. If that club was in our league, you think they wouldn't be winning it too.....It’s also a league that has had the same winner 8 years in a row. Everyone knows why it’s called a farmers league.
