They purchased Bellingham for some serious money and it already seems like he has excelled. Looks a real tidy player.
Sancho...well matth can fill you in there but another scouting masterstroke.Then Haaland scores 4 in their most recent game only to say afterwards that the kid they bought on is the future, and scores lots more goals than him in training! Scary for a guy that barely talks in interviews.
Apparently they have changed the rules in germany so players can feature at 16+ now pretty much because of Moukoko.
Smashed countless records, played under 19's at 12 and looks like defoe on steroids 😅
Where do they find these kids?!? I even excluded reyna and a few others... how can there be so many mega money deals in the PL but so few are prepared to invest in the Bellinghams etc?
Worries me PL could become the next Series A where teams fell into the trap of thinking they had to just buy superstars. Is Dortmunds scouting just way better than everyone else's? They don't seem to hesitate pulling the trigger to secure the best talents.
Dortmund and their wonder kids. ..

Well they will making an insane amount of money on the 3 or 4 players I mentioned and it just seems weird no one bar maybe wolves, has a similar system.
Was also pretty mind blowing to know Haaland thinks the 16 year old is way way better than he was at that age. That's a scary thought as he's only just turned 20 😅

Serie A was the best league in the world for about 20 years when they did this.

I remember when this Moukoko kid was12 and had scored a ridiculous amount of goals for the u15 or u16s. People started questioning his age.
So his dad had to come out to defend him and made a very good point.
The 65 year old dad mentioned that his mum is 28 and couldn’t possibly be any younger seeing as she has a12 year old son. If Moukoko was any older, that wouldn’t be a good look for dad!

He is a unit for sure. Looks like a man already so I can see why some might question his age. I think the days of old African players claiming a younger age are long gone. Wasn't obifema Martins of Newcastle one?

yup.
all well and good selling on sancho or headland next year due to another wunderkind coming up but bayern scoop up the pots.
incidentally people need to take note that a lot of this is now non German players and their league is going the way the prem did with german numbers dropping.
