is he any good?

Los Angeles is in Spanish anyway

But does the American pronunciation drive you crazy?

Yeah basically his mother is German & father was British, they split around the time he was to sign his pro’s & moved back to Germany with her

Bayern also began tapping up Musiala & Odoi up through Odoi’s brother as he represented them both

I believe the sarcasm was not realized.

25 finalists, only 20 names.

5 last names are:

• Arda Guler (Real Madrid)
• Bilal El Khannouss (Genk)
• Martin Baturina (Dinamo Zagabria)
• João Neves (Benfica)
• Lamine Yamal (Barcelona)

Its a bunch of really talented players and then one of the best midfielders in the game

Milos my boy

Funnily enough, "Buenos Aires" can easily be translated to "Benevento".

It’s almost insulting to have Bellingham and Musiala bunched with the rest here.

They’re both SO far ahead of the pack. If either of those doesn’t win the whole thing is just a sham

If I recall correctly, it was an issue of scarce opportunities for joining the first team.

Needs more Udogie

How is Alejandro Gazpacho not in this list?

Downvotes are just upside down upvotes. I appreciate them all the same

balde at least top 3

gavi would've deserved it but not eligible cus he won already 🐐🤷

"Going to the very top" - eh.

"Weirdly long head" - I gotta check that shit out.

More goals this season than Hojlund

No Julio Enciso?

Nice to see Arnau Martínez get recognition, he’s really, really good.

Asked a big salary that Barca weren’t willing to give. Also at that time looked like his development stagnated a bit, he was very highly rated since he was very young but in the final years other players went past him. He wanted a clear project and Barca couldn’t promise anything. Also got Raiola as an agent. Many reasons. I think it was probably wise of him to change the scenery and get a fresh start. Here he was always known for his name and hair, got a million followers at 15 playing youth football etc.

This is for European players only right?

Musiala is German.

Portugal on pace to have stellar back line for years to come.

Then the grammatically correct sentence is ‘to go back to his native country’

Hard to see anyone beating Bellingham for it

Musiala is incredibly talented. Sky is the limit for him. but he's not as consistent yet and lacks what is to me one of the most valuable skills that Wirtz already has. Game intelligence. Wirtz knows what to do in certain (basically every) situations, Musiala still needs to learn that. Gladly, that's a skill you can obtain through experience. Wirtz is already worldclass, Musiala will get there eventually.

Inb4 all the 'Real Madrid PR' comments when Jude wins the Golden Boy Award

Wth is a Bayern Monaco?

Seems like he's already at the very top

But he has a contract with PSG doesn't him? Doesn't take away his long time in La Masia lol

Lesssgo Kerkez

He's basically what I hoped Liam Delap would become. They even look similar.

Nothing like Rooney in terms of playing style.

Much more of a classic CF/target man but he looks really intelligent & has great movement. Reminds me more of a young Kane. Will be interesting to see if he can develop his game the way Kane has in dropping deep etc.

guy is 6'2, powerful, fast and technical

Instinctual too, his movement in the box is top tier

Lol yeah that's a great example for comparison, Balde displaced JORDI ALBA guys he should be getting more attention!!!

How many goals do you need to score to not be over hyped?

To be honest I have no idea how good most of these players are, but I'm still surprised Rico Lewis isn't on the list.

Munich in Latin is Monacum. Came from that.

You're right I forgot he didn't move permanently from PSG. My bad.

Colwill should not be on this list

I think even most of us barça fans were a bit surprised Gavi won it.

We weren't ready to give him first team minutes and he wanted more money.

Translates to Jon Snow in English.

Fair enough
