Auf geht's, Jungs: German Youth Discussion Thread Vol. V

personally I don't rate Kane. I have him like bottom when it comes to the so called world class CFs, LMAO. He's like one of the worst of the lot and wouldn't mind if we never dev a Kane like CF either, LOL.

the I wish
"I wish Lewa who was born next door to Germany was German."

we likely would have won TONS MORE trophies had that been the case too.

but would be great to see Assomo breakthrough Bayern 1st team but that club doesn't integrate youth CFs they buy ready made ones.

wonder if he'll be the German CFs who does the most at Bayern 1st team from the Academy level or not. Last like 10+ years the best we got was like 2 caps in 1st team and that's it and none had any real Bayern 1st team potential. Reality most of the Real German CFs talent avoid Bayern. Assomo is like the 1st hyped up CF since like Arp who transferred to the club.

I do agree that players can improve and hopefully he does. I think issue is due to whole loads of 90s born CFs had nothing beyond big/physical and that Youth boost and then struggled badly in pro footy. Its why most of us these days, take a wait and see. Lets see how he does in U19 1st. I tend to think U19 is a better gauge than anything U17 and under. Too many players perform well in U17 then fizzle come U19. That's the main question mark for him. As of now he has the whole package to make it big. And the thing is, one still need that package to make it into pro footy and 1BL. One of the reason why we are seeing LOADS of German young CFs breakthrough super fast is because the package+Talent there=ticket to pros is given. The moment its not 2/2 you won't breakthrough fast and you end up a CF that wastes X # of years in 3rd Liga-RL level.

same reason why Pengland has CF issues, loads of them cough almost all cough perform in YNT and/or club but then can't even pan out at pro footy level. Its because they are boosted by things like speed (aka shaft to AM/W down the line) or the talent or package is missing for more.

 

on topic of Seimen, its weird in that for years, I always see Spanish fans with LOADS of Barca fans too and Spanish Scouts yapping about him too.

like he seems to be highly rated in Spain for some random odd unknown reason.

from where did any of those people even pay attention to him? Was it really from 2022 U17 Euro which was 3 years+ ago? LOL. He's also never really played any YL with Stuttgart U19, so one would think he would have been an under the radar talent but nope, LMAO.

last season in 3rd Liga Stuttgart II he played his 1st pro season and played MAJOR role in survival along with 05 M Ulrich. Like take out these 2 and they would have went down to RL.

so now only his 2nd pro season in 2BL and performing as of now, I'm just hoping that Stuttgart make room for him to be #1 next season. Dump Nubel after his loan ends and bring him as your #1. We don't need to him to go abroad, type of GK talent that should become 1BL #1.

I want 1BL to be dominated by German GKs too.
we need the Neuer replacement and BVB and other clubs to have German #1s.

 

Just noticed that 06 RB Moreira was dumped on loan from EPL Forest to Portuguese 1st Rio Ave.

when will these young players learn, stop going to EPL clubs if you have 0 pro experience. I do hope he breakthrough this loan, otherwise just a waste of time.

Bem-vindo, Eric Moreira! 🙌
O jovem lateral chega para reforçar o Rio Ave FC!

06 RB Moreira is currently with Germany U20 but NOT ecstatic when I see that duals are going and playing in other nationality country....

like
-06 RB Bulut=German-Turk=currently playing with Turkish 1st Besiktas
-06 RB Moreira=German-Portuguese=currently on loan to Portuguese 1st

like we don't need ********ing poaching and this makes it easier. We need all available RBs to stick around, not reduce the pool.....

 

RB Pool of Options
-1BL=05-Baum (Made Bench in 2/3 matches this season and was included in CL list for Frankfurt. Hopefully makes debut soon. If anyone recalls it took until November for 03 LB Brown to breakthrough his 1st season at Frankfurt was also left out a LOT prior too. Frankfurt also BLOCKED both Bremen and Freiburg who were interested in him after HIT 2BL loan. Hopefully we see something similar with Baum, really hope we don't see a Winter loan...to where??? 2BL-1st Abroad??? he's already impressed at that level, won't do anything. I do hope we continue to play him in U21 to boost him.)

-1st Abroad=06-Moreira (Portuguese 1st LAST SECOND loan), 06-Bulut (Turkish 1st. Played his 1st XI for new club recently)

-2BL=04-Morgalla (XI, on loan), 04-Hagmann (played his 1st XI before International Break), 04-Eitschberger (XI), 04-Ba (Bench), 05-Janisch (XI. More of a false RB in actuality he's an AM/W), 05-Berner (Made his Debut before International Break), 06-Reich (Made Bench Debut Before International Break aka back from injury), 06-von der Hitz (has made bench every game this season but waiting on debut), 07-Koscierski (was breakingthrough XI with 2 XIs but currently injured), 07-Pedrosa (brokethrough last season and played 3 XIs too but for now not 1st choice. Should get game time though, 1st choice is a 35 y/o.)


that's biggest pool of RB in a LONG LONG LONG TIME.

what's interesting is the BIG # of 06-07 RBs with 13 players total listed and ALREADY 6/13=06-07s. They are making the jump faster than previous groups too.

its interesting to see that so far ALMOST all of them have pro experience (von der Hitz+Reich only ones with 0 pro exp) and like everyone listed is MIN bench player. They aren't in II dumping scenario. Believe that numerous other 04-onwards RBs have pro contracts but in that RL-U19 level.

 

04 W Bamba got dumped on loan to Dutch 2nd division.

like confusing he scored the winning goal for 2BL Bochum in DFB Cup and his reward is loan dumping to basically 3rd Liga level.....

the REAL issue is why exactly is Bochum dumping Bamba on loan while they LOANED IN, 07 AM/W Onyeka and 06 W Ruprecht with 2/2 from 1BL Bayer Leverkusen.

your dumping your own player for ones you have 0 to do post loan, not even buying option. And on top of that you want to dev and integrate them.....okaaaaaaaaaay, I guess.

LMAO since when were 2BL clubs ever with this mentality anyways. They used to screw 1BL clubs concerning loan topic. Now submissive to extreme.

very bizarre logic, LOL.

imagine being Bamba and while the 2-3 years younger Ruprecht and Onyeka go to 1BL next season he'll go back to play 2BL......

Bochum gave Bamba 0 XIs after a whole season. Onyeka moment he returned from injury, already 1st XI and got LOAD of praise....yeah. How long until Ruprecht plays his 1st ever pro XI?

yes, both players are rated higher than Bamba tbc not a conspiracy just the bizarre shaft our own player for YOUNGER LOANEES....

at end of day, I don't really care that much. Bamba has interesting package of speed and dribbling but extremely RAW type BUT if those 2 can breakthrough clown Bayer that is more worthwhile. Main issue is that Bochum looking to be a struggling club this season. Too much emphasis on young players and loanees will make it a hard team to really perform. And yes G/A do make a difference when it comes to breakingthrough aka return from loan, no club wants a 0 G/A or 2-3 G/A on a loan for example. That's recipe for another loan dumping.


so far looking like Dutch 2nd division
-04 W Bamba=last second loan
-04 M Ludwig=back from long term injury. If not for that injury could very well already be higher.
-04 AM Schwarz=Summer transfer after doing wellish enough in RL for Bremen II
-06 CF Marheineke=who recently made his pro debut

 

hahaha, I was just reminded of yet another such case.

Dutch 05 CF Rijkhoff, ex BVB Youth player. Who recalls when BVB were like such a HUGE TALENT one of biggest 05 CF Talent in Europe. All the BVB fans were singing songs of praise and how he'll breakthrough BVB, HUGE talent.

meanwhile the evil, @Ger90 was critizing Rijkhoff at every single opportunity, what a clown. Constantly saying BS like Brunner is better and looks better. Whenever they played together Brunner ends up at CF and Rijkhoff basically plays off of him in more AM/SS. That Rijkhoff's skill set is more poaching style and limited. And constantly questioning why exactly is he so propped up???

then bails because unhappy of lack of game time in 1st team, BVB and fans were super sad that he couldn't make it at the club. While Brunner who bailed for same reason gets trashed to the moon as an unprofessional selfish POS.

he went to Ajax in 2023-2024 season, mostly played Ajax II in Dutch 2nd division and seems to have done well enough at that level. Also Had 8 Eredivisie caps where he didn't impress according to most. And now for odd reason got loaned out to Dutch 2nd division Almere City. Why exactly was he loaned out to Dutch 2nd when he already played there???? Anyways, so far can't even score in Dutch 2nd this season and also got shafted to the AM, LULZ. As I mentioned about AM shaft when he played BVB. He even gave an interview about his "new #10 role", LMAO.

but these are the so called world class experts in German footy. BVB and Bayern rating non-Germans who aren't panning out to the moon. They overexaggerate and overembelish every foreign player.

Brunner is younger than Rijkhoff and when given chance in Belgian 1st last season he did better than Rijkhoff did in Eredivisie too. Did Good enough in preseason that he wasn't even loaned out this season for Ligue 1 Monaco. And the coach Hutter has said that given 3 competition will likely get game time and already made his Ligue 1 debut this season too.

as I keep saying not many CFs in Europe when it comes to 05s that are better than Weiper+Pejcinovic neither in career progress nor in package/potential.

 

so far, we have Tel, Rijkhoff, Roque in terms of overhyped rival countries 05s who aren't panning out. Although given the level of league aka EPL, Tel could still manage to make a U-turn. The other 2 seem VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY far away from that.

don't forget this CYLE is the 04-05 U21 cycle so its their cycle.

that leaves Bravo and Esposito, LOL.
Esposito made his Italy SNT debut this International break. While Bravo got that expected AM/W shaft, LMAO.

look at this, how funny is this?


Mayenda=CF, Bravo=CF, Garcia=CF. Spain now playing 3 so called CFs in XI for Spain U21, LOL.

issue is that 3/3 are shrimps, 3/3 are basically 1.8-1.82m tall players. I've always said that Bravo and Mayenda are players who risk that AM/W shaft. That Spain YNT itself shafted them makes you wonder how long before they also get a club shafting.

This is an XI I feel like we played with 98-99. Who recalls when in some games we played 3 CFs in XI with L.Nmecha, Berisha and Burkardt, LULZ. And yeah this team managed to WIN U21 Euro with 3 CFs in XI. The reason we played like that is because there was a lack of AM/W from 98-99 Age Groups NOT OUT OF DESIRE.



does Spain have issues with 04-onwards AM/W that they are playing 3 CFs???
I don't think its a SNT call up thing. Outside of Yamal and Rodriguez no other 04-onwards AM/W is called up. And Yamal has been SNT for ages now.

curious to how Rodriguez gets a SNT call up playing for Serie A Como (random club) with 0 G/A assist this season. Last season could only muster 2 goals in over 1000 min in La Liga and that's SNT material??? Not saying should have crazy G/A stats but that's like rubbish #s for SNT call up and only 2nd pro season too.

 

🔙 Agustín Ruberto vs. Alemania en el Mundial Sub-17 (2023)

— Millo Reserva (@milloreserva) September 7, 2025

who cares? We won U17 WC, LMAO. Only thing that matters is winning not almost aspect.
also I would take Brunner X2 (should have also bagged hat trick in that match too)+Moerstedt scoring aka 2 different CFs over just 1 player. Long term 2 is better than 1 only.

Ruberto got a SHIT TON of hype after U17 WC and won Golden Boot. Recall Man City was interested after U17 WC. Did they seem him as Aguero wannabe? But has basically 1 major injury and missed entire 2025 so far. Even prior to that was mostly playing for River Plate II team with not much 1st team breakthrough with 0 XIs.

also in 2025 South American Championship U20, he could only muster 2 goals in 6 games and got injured there. Doesn't seem like he was able to replicate his U17 WC form at a higher UXX level too.

Compare to Moerstedt.....................who won 2025 U19 Euro Golden Boot.

his issue, needs to upgrade physically and at 1.83m tall he also isn't the type of CF that will throw himself at CBs, won't dominate physically there. Basically means he's unlikely to become a complete CF type package too. More likely in typical South American/Argentinian to rely on technical skills, movement/speed and pounce on errors type.

will be curious to see if he can pan out once he comes back from injury.

not many Argentinian CFs these days in Europe either and hopefully that continues. And the ones in Europe are ones in the 170s tall too. We don't need to see those clowns do well. Even their WC win was basically Messi carrying that team. Will be curious to see how they fare once the Argentinian Draxler finally retires.

 

LOL, I did NOT see that coming.

🚨🚫 Mathys Tel: “Thomas Frank called me, very respectful, he simply told me his choice… I was not in the Champions League list”.

“It definitely hurts, but I'm someone who stays pretty positive. I am Tottenham player, I will do my best to be able to play”, told Le Telegramme. pic.twitter.com/LHCX0qVXHc

— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) September 8, 2025

one of the greatest CF Talents in EUROPE AND THE WORLD!!!!!!!
Signed Bayern Munich, Spurs, and sooooooooooooooooooo many others.

still huge question mark if he's seen as CF in long run or W. Bayern always dumped him on W, as I called it that they would, LOL. Even at Spurs, he gets that W shaft too, LOL.

imagine spending $35M on a player like Tel and gets left out of CL squad.

players who move to EPL too fast are not very bright. That goes for all Germans and non-Germans.

hahahaha, at least Moukoko and Tresoldi will be able to showcase themselves in CL this season. And Weiper played big role in helping Mainz qualify for Conference League GS. Moerstedt impressed in EL last season with Hoffenheim too. How long until we see MORE of next gen CFs play Europe?

 

I don't enjoy posting about non-Germans simply because I don't give 2 shits how they do. If they flop, LMAO and biggest LMAO always go to the overhyped lot and if they pan out good for whatever lameass country they belong to, LMAO.

BUT MY HANDS ARE TIED
-when Bayer brought in Bravo who flopped at Bayer and Real Madrid
-when Bayern brought in Tel who flopped at Bayern and struggling at Spurs
-when BVB brought in Rijkhoff who flopped at BVB and struggling Dutch 2nd division

and I predicted flopping for 3/3 too, LULZ.

they did so under the whole THEY ARE BETTER THAN GERMANS. WE WENT AFTER THEM BECAUSE GERMAN CFs ARE WORST, LMAO.

LMAO nice try asshats, more like the German CFs in 05s like Weiper+Pejcinovic refused to join your clubs even with your interest. When Weiper was said that he was might have left Mainz this Summer. Instant interest from Leipzig, Frankfurt etc to get him too. Bayern tried in past to get both to join or rejoin in case of Pejcinovic but they both rejected.

I noticed this habit from German 1BL clubs. When they get rejected by German players they will claim that there are no German talents and they "had to" go after foreign youth. Yeah my ass.

also BVB has a HUGE habit of screwing and trying to screw every German player at their Academy. That's a club that lets say they have very promising German CB, M, AM/W they will PURPOSEFULLY bring in a so called foreign top talent at CB, M, AM/W in order for them to breakthrough over the Germans. They've been doing it over and over and over for years now. Funny part these days, NONE of the foreign youth are breakingthrough from Academy, LMAO. Like why bother with Rijkhoff when you had Brunner??? Never made a lick of sense. And they 100% tried to force Rijkhoff to breakthrough but didn't work, even in 1st team friendlies, Brunner looked better, LULZ.

also other reason to bring them up. Is topic of rival countries CFs.

the constant claim of Germany=0 CFs yet where are all the World Class or Elite and AMAZING CF talents from the rival countries?? I don't see many.

heck even SNT, outside of Kane (who give Pengland illusion that they are strong at CF when reality there is nothing behind Kane) which country has world class or Elite CFs????? LOL.

yet only Germany gets shat on at every chance and everywhere one looks. The most scapegoated position of all time too by DFB, Germany SNT coaches, media, etc.

 

funny thing is these days, none of the foreign youth CFs who come to German 1BL Academies even breakthrough anymore, LOL.

how does one explain that the next gen German CFs are managing to breakthrough 1BL while the foreign ones all failing whether they fail directly or fail after a loan.

and they are brought in with same BS, better than Germans yet none are making it......but but the ********ing German trash are!!!!!!

this forced the clubs to instead mostly focused on foreign youth CFs who have pro experience from elsewhere, LMAO. Even limited pro experience they will jump at chance in order to dev/sell and make money. If you can't make them breakthrough while costing 0 or a few million then buy them a bit more expensive and then sell them for X2-X5 what you payed.

Just pathetic loser clubs who lie left and right. I've legit lost count to amount of FAILED attempts too. Feels like its easily between 50-100 foreign youth CFs MIN since I joined this forum, LOL.

I mean never forget that troll poster himself in order to SHIT on German dev. Propped up like 20-30 foreign youth CFs and NONE panned out, LMAO, what a dolt. The worst judge of CFs of all time too.

he also propped up the American CFs like Wright-Sargent-Hoppe as better than anything German and now those players still in Championship level, LMAO. Guy harrassed me for awhile just for saying I see NOTHING of worth in Hoppe (currently in Danish 1st and can only muster 1 goal, LOL).

constant need to bringing up irrelevant foreign youth CFs and irrelevant countries too. Just like what the clubs always try to do.

at this point, troll poster really just the embodiment/mouthpiece of the German clubs.
-make up shit left and right
-overate to the moon every foreign youth
-shit on German CFs dev at every chance
-refuse to talk about rival CFs
-pretend like these clubs don't sabotage their own players in numerous different ways.

all of this just for sake of dev/sell $$$.

 

last time, I brought up the rival countries. HUGE MASSIVE DEFLECTION towards

"but but but Scandinavia dev better CFs than Germany" then proceeds to list like 5-6 players from FOUR DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, LMAO.

there is no such thing as Scandinavia its a NT, so do the math if you have 6 players from 4 countries that's 1.5 players per country, which is a HUGE NOTHING.

WOW so scary dev!!!!! I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo jealous!!!!

and not like that helped any of those countries do anything in a tourney either.

 

https://www.kicker.de/kroesche-wir-...ssen-spezialisten-auszubilden-1144760/artikel
Yes, Markus Krösche is definitely one of the strongest advocates for the reforms — and he’s absolutely right that we need less rigid tactics and more focus on individual training, because in the end it’s the player’s qualities that make the difference. That’s also why he pushed so hard to bring Toppmöller as coach: Frankfurt want to become a place where German talents actually get chances. Personally, I’m really excited to see what comes through their academy in the next years. If Frankfurt manage to build this pathway consistently, it could be an example for the whole country.

And about the market: it’s a love/hate situation with all those Premier League transfers worth hundreds of millions, but it’s worth noticing that two of the biggest moves recently were German youngsters — Wirtz and Woltemade. Maybe that’s the beginning of a trend: clubs and fans in Germany realizing that German talents aren’t just good on the pitch, but also valuable from a marketing and business perspective. Why spend fortunes buying French talents if you can develop your own and sell them for massive fees?

That’s the mindset we need: trust the local talent, give them the stage, and then both the sport and the finances benefit.

 

would be hilarious if Frankfurt becomes the example of the league after being shit there for like 15 years, LMAO.

this is proof that Krosche tried to turn things around at Leipzig but was overruled too. Its been said that some at Leipzig tried to improve things for domestic but that majority didn't give a shit and had 0 interest in German players, ONLY wanted to dev/sell foreign. Well hopefully with Finkgrafe+Ouedraogo we at least see some German youth breakthrough there. How else does one explain the HUGE change at Frankfurt moment Krosche moved there? He's likely the candidate for that back in the day. He also is constantly linked with Bayern too, I hope he stays at Frankfurt. Leave when your fully functional system which isn't now.

German footy isn't very bright, from day 1, individuality should NEVER EVER have been axed. I've been saying since I joined this forum. Why the frick do you axe the whole a player deciding a match solo aspect? Just stupid just to create passing machine, cog in a machine BS. For frick sake we won WC14 due to technical brilliance of Gotze. It wasn't a team goal it was a solo technically difficult shot, hardest chance in final was the winner. Same for nixing CFs, you want to nix the position who's main purpose is to put the ball in the net and decide the whole match? LMAO, how stupid can one get. Imagine instead of creating AM/W monsters and CFs machines we DELAYED ALL OF THAT BY LIKE 10+ years......with wave of next gen AM/W and CFs who can decide matches solo and make difference we seem on track for that going forward.

I think the turnaround really is 2BL. For like 10 years, 2BL was doing jack shit in dev and suddenly over past 3 years aka exactly when the 02s started to emerge post U19-RL that is when we saw a turning point of HUGE amount of clubs doing dev/sell for Germans. There is a market for German youth for 1BL aka ones who already have pro experience and in 2BL. Like one sees all these 1BL clubs fighting over German talents. More and more clubs are joining in on the German Youth 2BL dev/sell as they see there is more $$$ in it then 1BL rejects and old has beens. Finally, LOL.

for me, its evident the issue with German 1BL clubs, too many don't seem that keen on integrating themselves. If Germans can acquire 2BL level experience they would be more keen on German youth. So then between direct breakthroughs to 1BL and 2BL to 1BL transfers, that is why we are seeing more and more 1BL youth these days than a LONG LONG Time.

I've recently mentioned that next season aka come U21 Euro we could very well see a whole squad of 1BL level players called up by Di Salvo with 0 2BL-1st Abroad. Already not very far away from that too.

 

There's also Vincent Joseph at Liverpool who many at at their academy rave about and who is being compared to Musiala because of his highly technical playing style and his history (born in Germany, moved to England at a young age, making him able to play for both countries and now plays at the academy for one of the 'big 6' clubs.

LOL, Germany U17 losing 7-5 to Pengland.

didn't watch but that is definition of bad for both sides. How do you concede 7 and 5 goals? LMAO.

 

The conditions didn't help from what I saw, very wet and slippery.

But yeah some very naive defending. Still a good learning experience before the qualifiers I guess.

 

U16-U17 always seem to get these type of results too, not only Germany. Like at that level, teams seem to struggle to defend well, very eratic and pedestrian mistakes that you don't see in higher UXX.

 

Yeah, we’ve got to keep some perspective here. Most of the German U17s are already on a very high technical level, but compared to nations like France or England they’re still a bit underdeveloped physically. A lot of their players are already competing in professional football or in the Premier League 2, where they face opponents 3–4 years older every week — that accelerates their physical maturity massively.

On our side, it doesn’t help that the coach keeps rotating and testing new defenders in every game. Players like Kiala and Riedl should really be the fixed center-back pairing, because without consistency in the back line you’ll always look shaky.

But at the end of the day it was just a friendly, and these matches are more about learning than the result. The decisive stages in development come later anyway, at U19–U21 level, where physical and tactical maturity really show. For now, I’d rather see our guys focus on refining their technique and game intelligence — the physical side will catch up with time.

 

Stuttgart has dumped 06 CF Bujupi (poached by Kosovo) on Belgian 1st loan with buying option. I know he's poached, only bringing him up to show how useless Stuttgart II in 3rd Liga is.

all I see is MASS PURGE of talents with barely anyone left of relevance.

instead of playing 06 CB Herwerth in XI they play 2 CBs in that 27-30 y/o, yeah they are playing with CB pair that are 2/3 of the allowed overage for II teams instead of dev any young CBs........

05 M Di Benedetto stays around to do what play another year in 3rd Liga? Pointless. At this point, its all but likely he's doing the ANNOYING, run down the 2026 contract and leave somewhere in Summer 2026 FREE TRANSFER.

ugh hate when players do that, you basically WASTE a whole year for nothing. And kill any chance for any U21 call up. At this point, he'll never be a real U21 candidate either.

looking like 06 W Korkut (poached by Turkey) seems to be running down his 2026 contract to move to Spain too.

Stuttgart Academy continues to be a HUGE FAIL.

 

Croatia U19 take 1-0 lead via PK.

LOL, like does Croatia ever score against Germany besides PKs.

back in U17 Euro Qualifiers aka SAME AGE GROUP aka 07s, Germany drew them 3-3 with 2/3 Croatian goals=PKs.

even with 05s Croatia in U19 Euro qualifiers won 2-1 with 2/2 goals=goalazos.

like always same type of goals, PKs, goalazos, FKs etc.

 

07 Age Group is such a weird one, LOL.

there is talent but its always been a dysfunctional team. Something about them, never clicks even during U17 days.

always feels like lapse of D in moments mixed in with attack who create a lot but always seem unable to finish and you end up with too many Ds and Ls but in most games they actually could have won, LOL.

I would not be surprised if they fail to qualify for U19 Euro.

and I'm glad that for U21 they are partnered with the 06s. Them and 06s could make a more interesting group than alone.

 

Fantastic from Germany U20 and 1-0 vs Italy with Ouedraogo scoring!!!!
