140 goals in less than 2 full season's worth of minutes as a 12yo to 15yo playing against 15yos (a few) and mostly 16, 17yos up to to 23yos

this is his first run of games as a TWELVE YEAR OLD, playing against mostly 16, 17yos (a smaller amount of 15yos in the mix too) in 80 minute games (so almost a full games less worth of minutes basically over the ones where he played the full 80):

24 goals, 5 assists in 12 games (939 minutes played), as a 12 year old playing against mostly 4 to 5 year older players

he turned 13 on Nov 20, 2017

also

he is the youngest goalscorer in Bundesliga history (you can't play in it until you turn 16)

he scored 3 goals in 4 and a half games worth of minutes then

I see claims now that he is 22 not 18. That would change everything.

It’s quite plausible given the recent scandal in his pob Cameroon where they uncovered their entire u17 was in fact over 20 😂

but there is an easy remedy. just scan his hip bones before dumping 30m signing fee on him

Chelsea and Newcastle to miss out on Borussia Dortmund wonderkid Youssoufa Moukoko

https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/Chelsea-fc-newcastle-moukoko-dortmund-transfer-b1052801.html

Chelsea and Newcastle are set to miss out on wonderkid Youssoufa Moukoko with Borussia Dortmund finally agreeing terms on a contract extension.

Standard Sport understands the 18-year-old discussed a deal worth over £150,000 a week to join Newcastle on a free transfer when his contract expired at the end of the season. Saudi-backed Newcastle are targeting Champions League qualification and securing the best free transfers is part of their strategy to comply with Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations.

Chelsea and Barcelona were also known to be monitoring the Germany international, who looked likely to be leaving Dortmund earlier this window as he struggled to reach an agreement with Dortmund.

Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke told Sky Germany on Thursday that Moukoko's exit was a real possibility.

"It is legitimate that [Moukoko] is now trying to get a good position for himself," he said. “But it is just as legitimate that we have our ideas and if that is not congruent, then the cooperation will just not be continued.

"That is the ultimate consequence, which can also happen. But of course, we hope that he stays with us. I think the whole process is quite normal. The difference is simply that he is only 18 years old and was already at the World Cup. This, of course, makes the whole thing even more public."

However, Sky Germany now claim a compromise between the player and club has been reached with Moukoko set to commit to BVB for the foreseeable.

Fuck Moukoko

We have David.D.Fofana.

How about we play the lad and see what he can do instead of trying to buy everyone else's youth products. 

 

I am well off the boil with him now until this age thing is straightened out

IF he is 22, going on 23, then he is not exactly lighting things up at that age, which he should be when he is that old

Chelsea make Harvey Vale loan transfer decision amid Graham Potter injury crisis

Harvey Vale struggled for minutes during his maiden loan outing to Hull City with his progress halted by injury earlier in the season and now he has been recalled by Chelsea

Harvey Vale has returned to Chelsea with his loan at Hull City set to end prematurely. The Blues youngster joined the Tigers in the summer on a year-long loan but has struggled for minutes during his time on Humberside.

football.london understands that Vale has made his return to west London despite featuring in Hull's FA Cup match against Fulham at the weekend. The 19-year-old becomes the club's second player to return to Cobham this month, following Jayden Wareham's spell with Leyton Orient also coming to an end.

 

Vale made just two Championship appearances in addition to his FA Cup outing with Hull, playing just 137 minutes of football. The possibility of more appears seemed fraught, despite Hull boss Liam Rosenior being very complimentary about the England youth international.

In December, he said: "They’ve both [Vale and Xavier Simson] made an excellent impression on me. Harvey’s got some outstanding abilities and is a really good athlete."

Vale will remain with the Blues for the remainder of the season, having already featured for the club in the Papa Johns Trophy. Having already featured for two senior sides in 2022/23, he is ineligible to feature for another club and his remaining minutes for the season will come for either Chelsea's under-23 side or in Graham Potter's team.

The academy product signed a new three-year deal before heading to the MKM Stadium in the summer.

Watching this kid’s footage reminds me of Zaha in terms of dribbling style. Looks simultaneously like he’s out of control and totally in control. Really quick, twitchy kind of style.

He is the sort of wide player I’ve been crying out for but would be yet another player that’s a huge gamble. And apparently he’s injured all the time on top of that.

What's all this Madueke talk now?

An injury prone player from PSV with 12 goals and 9 assists to his name in around 60 games and they're demanding the same money for him as they sold their absolute star performer Cody Gakpo to Liverpool for? This is some high level bullshit.

Only 20 years of age and already has 7 different injuries recorded on his Transfermarkt page for +50 games missed out overall. Yeah that's exactly what we need.

Also, why is a supposedly highly rated young English player playing abroad?

Silly question really.

Lots of young English players have gone abroad in recent years and struck gold with their development. With examples set by the likes of Sancho, Bellingham etc. more and more players are open to giving the foreign leagues a go. Rightly so because it can offer a very good pathway to first team football at an early age. 

Nothing dubious about having left England to build a career elsewhere first before making the return as a ready-made first teamer but I'd still pass based on the injury record alone.

Wow. Well lets see. I mean why do any young English players play abroad? To develop….

I suppose the same statement re why aren't any/other English teams being interested in said player or players who are up and coming/promising/good can be said of Marcus Edwards at Sporting Lisbon who is a pretty good player, Fikayo Tomori at AC Milan, Tammy Abraham at Roma, even guys like Etienne Green at Saint-Etienne and Stephy Mavididi in France too? Who are maybe not at the top tier but are also making pretty decent names for themselves at a reasonable level? 

Or do all good English/British players have to be linked to every top English club to be considered good? Good god.
