Because?I seriously hope we're not in for him...
Because we have Tahith Chong who I believe has even more potential in comparison and he will show that very soon in the first team.Because?
Yep absolutely 100% agree pal. Back our own!Because we have Tahith Chong who I believe has even more potential in comparison and he will show that very soon in the first team.
I would definitely like to see Tahith Chong be given a run for minutes against the lower sides in the dying minutes of the game. Probably in the 85th min to just run against and attack. But first, He needs to get a haircut.Because we have Tahith Chong who I believe has even more potential in comparison and he will show that very soon in the first team.
How did you make that comparison?Because we have Tahith Chong who I believe has even more potential in comparison and he will show that very soon in the first team.
Yeah it is so silly.How did you make that comparison?
Are 9 goals and blistering displays in the Bundesliga and 5 goals in the U18s/u23s in anyway comparable?
Im all for giving youth a chance but I think people get lulled into believing every youth product will be a world beater.
I’d wager Gomes will have a better United career than Chong, who for me though exciting is still very raw technically.
I'm not sure how you come to the conclusion that Chong is raw technically? If anything that's his strong point...How did you make that comparison?

It's also silly making posts about potential incomings who would cost in excess of £60m when we may have the solution already at the club...Yeah it is so silly.
You are going to be disappointed over and over again if you think every guy out of our academy is going to be World Class. And even if they are the real deal they are going to have to fight off major signings. Even sides like Ajax do not just hand first team positions to academy players.It's also silly making posts about potential incomings who would cost in excess of £60m when we may have the solution already at the club...
I've never endorsed a player from the Academy before to make the step up and was quite surprised even when Rashford was promoted. So please stop making assumptions about me.You are going to be disappointed over and over again if you think every guy out of our academy is going to be World Class. And even if they are the real deal they are going to have to fight off major signings. Even sides like Ajax do not just hand first team positions to academy players.
Whenever I've watched them play for the youth teams, Chong has impressed me more than Gomes. Of course that doesn't mean Chong will have a better career, but he certainly looks as talented.How did you make that comparison?

I don't really find the time to watch the reserves or u18s anymore, but that seems a very bold claim. Either way, it would be difficult to fit Bailey in. He's very good though.Because we have Tahith Chong who I believe has even more potential in comparison and he will show that very soon in the first team.
similar sentiment can be applied to players who look impressive in the bundesliga.You are going to be disappointed over and over again if you think every guy out of our academy is going to be World Class.

Like De Bruyne, Firminio, Sanesimilar sentiment can be applied to players who look impressive in the bundesliga.
tbf Firmino didn't look half as impressive in Bundesliga as he does in PLLike De Bruyne, Firminio, Sane
Obviously is not the end all be all but, I remember him having the second highest Whoscored rating in the Bundesliga during his last season at Hoffenheim.tbf Firmino didn't look half as impressive in Bundesliga as he does in PL
Which is of course also why Liverpool's transfer committee signed him.Obviously is not the end all be all but, I remember him having the second highest Whoscored rating in the Bundesliga during his last season at Hoffenheim.
Yeah, he was pretty hyped when he arrived here, it has taken him until this season to really look like one of the top players in the league. Looking back at his last season in Germany on whoscored, he was the 4th highest rated player for the season with 16 goals and 11 assists in 33 games with a 7.94 rating for the season. He has 12 goals and 6 assists in 23 games this season in the PL with a rating of 7.41 and is 12th on the rating. Looks like its his dribbling that has decreased a lot which will affect his rating on that site but he plays as a false 9 now.Obviously is not the end all be all but, I remember him having the second highest Whoscored rating in the Bundesliga during his last season at Hoffenheim.
I see now.Which is of course also why Liverpool's transfer committee signed him.
My point is rather, contrary to the attitude displayed by the previous poster, attackers moving from BuLi to PL tend to blossom more than expected.
my point exactly, just like every kid that comes through our youth system isn't guaranteed to be a star, every played that does well in the bundesliga isn't guaranteed to be a star in pl. You yourself said "You are going to be disappointed over and over again if you think every guy out of our academy is going to be World Class". You made that comment to someone in regards to promoting a very talented youth product for someone doing well in Germany who by the way is far from being the finished article and will cost a lot of money.Like De Bruyne, Firminio, Sane
I think Greenwood will eclipse both.How did you make that comparison?

Random bump there, BestieBoth Chong and Gomes has great potential but I would like to see them play with the first team before I judge them. I have seen both play with academy and they are both very skillful. I will be keeping an eye out for how they progress.
I don't think that this is a fair assessment based on this season. Leverkusen is a mess at the moment and most of their players look worse than they are. They should compete with Leipzig/Gladbach for a top4 finish and Euroleague qualification should be the minimum. Herrlich is a bad coach and should get sacked asap.Update : He's a flop
Thank god we didn't spend absurd cash on him.
He will be 22 this year.Random bump. Leverkussen were struggling this season and replaced their manager with Peter Bos, finishing 4th. Leon Bailey had intrest from clubs like Chelsea, 19 year old, pacy and left footed who can play on the right too. Surprised things have gone quiet this season in terms of transfer rumours. Any followers of the Bundesliga who can give an analysis of his season and development?
Correct indeed. Sancho is 19 years.He will be 22 this year.
Best to probably ask a Leverkusen fan @ZehnerRandom bump. Leverkussen were struggling this season and replaced their manager mid season (on a 9th place ranking) with Peter Bosz as their new manager who managed to finish 4th. Leon Bailey had intrest from clubs like Chelsea, 19 year old, pacy and left footed who can play on the right too. Surprised things have gone quiet this season in terms of transfer rumours. Any followers of the Bundesliga who can give an analysis of his season and development?
I found an article from three months gives insight in my question. He was rated as a prospect given a 100m price tag.Best to probably ask a Leverkusen fan @Zehner
I havent seen him often this season, when i turned on, he usually wasnt playing. I assume he is inconsistent and last season a lot of things worked out in his favour, while this season not everything goes in.
Yup i'll never forget how he made fun of some boxer on twatter. And the the guy confronted him on the streetsHim and his family are a bunch of cnuts
I saw this thread get bumped like a half hour ago and my natural reaction was to go onto YouTube and watch the video of the boxer confronting himYup i'll never forget how he made fun of some boxer on twatter. And the the guy confronted him on the streets
