    I thought Mustafi isnt doing bad in Italy. Bought by Sampdoria and now on loan

    My biggest disappointment is actually Lennart Thy. He has a comeplete package of speed, killer instinct, physique and setup play......was the U17 Euro joint top scorer in 2009 as well

    That U17 Euro champion team in 2009, other than Goetze, Leno n ter Stegen, not many players developed well. Trinks, Thy, Yabo, Buchtmann, Plattenhardt, Basala-Mazana are very disappointing

    It is very seldom that more then one or two players of U17 international teams (even of title winning teams) go on to have a great career as professional footballers.

    Here are some of the past winners and all their players who had (somewhat) successful careers later on:
    2009: Switzerland: (Xhaka), (Rodriguez)
    2007: Nigeria: -
    2005: Mexico: (Dos Santos), (Carlos Vela),
    2003: Brazil: (Ederson)
    2001: France: -
    1999: Brazil: Adriano
    1997: Brazil: Ronaldinho

    Out of 7 title winning squad, that's only two world class players and 5 players who were/are good enough to play for midtable clubs in a top league.
     
    F96 repped this.

    His buddy Can starts for Bayern and yes, he still loves to dribble
    Rüdiger with a good game for Stuttgart vs. St.Pauli (as right back)

    Yesil couldn't impress according to Liverpool fans, was subbed out after 45 min.
    Can with a decent game, clearly better than one of is rivals at DM, Timoschuk
    Weiser with his pro debut

    Both Can and Weiser had excellent matches. I think Weiser has a really high ceiling and I hope next season we see him rotate with Lahm.

    Can was very good with the ball and offensively, but his defensive positioning and tackling left a lot to be desired. I'm not worried though (he's only 18), because you can see he has the natural talent to excel as a CM.

    BTW, Arsenal interested in Holtby, Schurrle and Pierre Lasogga

    Great fit in my opinion

    Might potentially chose Greece over the NT.

    Consider the "oversupply" of midfielders, i dont think i care especially when real gem like Gnabry, Goretzka and Brandt are too much older

    For the NT in the next few years, midfield will be extremely competitive
