How was the Brazilian Ronaldo on a better path at 18? He had just signed for PSV. At this point, your list is down to Messi and Cristiano. I'm ok with that.


Holy shite. Ok. Christian Pulisic was better at age 18 than El Phenomenon.
This is what I'm having to deal with in this thread.

reading comprehension is fun

But obviously not your strong suit, considering that poster was referring to current players.

Says the guy who doesn't think the Bundesliga is any good, and also that it is worse than the Premier League which is an absolute tire fire outside of Chelsea.

But but but the premier league is better because ManYew just need onemore transfer window and they'll be back.

Also, CP has the opportunity to be a top 10 player in the world at his peak, you disagreed with that and that is why people are arguing with you

This thread in a nutshell.


At no point did the discussion start at attackers.
The discussion started when a poster said you couldn't name 10 players on a better path at age 18.
Here I'll post the damn post again....

I promise you won't find 10 players who were for sure on a better path at age 18


And you dumbasses cosigned it with your posts in this thread.

At no time did i say CP wasnt a great player. I said it was utter bullshite to say no 10 players have been on a better path at age 18 than CP. Thats it.

Better than dealing with an ignoramus who never watched the players he claims are better than Pulisic and doesn't realize that BvB is a better team than PSV.

You could just admit that certain youth systems (*cough* Dortmund *cough*) are much, much better than others, especially than ones from over a decade or two ago due to advances in science and nutrition.

Idk how you'd even pick a top ten in the world considering the variety of ways you could measure that, but pick whatever ten you think it is and look at where they were at age 18. I promise you won't find 10 players who were for sure on a better path at age 18.


How on earth did you take that to mean "of all time?"

And for the record you'd still be hard pressed to name 10 all time that were regular starters at 18 for a top 10-15 team in the world. Naming people like Dele Alli just tells me that you're speaking about career paths using a retroactive approach based on what he's currently doing, because as an 18 year old he was playing in the English third division and you'd never heard of him.

Then premier has far more talent than the Bundesliga. Deal with it. Generally both the PL and LL have more teams that challenge for the title than Bundesliga. I probably shouldn't have said it was garbage . you're right about that buddy.

Uh. Please show me where he said right now. He said you couldn't name 10 players on a better path at age 18.
How else is some supposed to take that?
He didnt say CP is the best 18 year old right now. He said no one could name 10 players AT AGE 18 on a better path.

Premier League doesn't have a team as good as Bayern.

Outside of the top 5-6 teams in the PL, the Bundesliga has better players.

Look this discussion is going no where. CP is great player.
I'm ignorant because I think there are easily 10 players on a better path at age 18 than CP. I apologize. frick me and every thing I stand for. I'm ignorant to all things in life.
I'm beneath you all.

Ok. Sure. I'm dumb. Sorry. Bundesliga is so deep and great they have 1 class winner in almost 2 decades while la liga,Serie a,and please have multiple winners since 07-08.
Bundesliga clearly has more talent than PL and LL.
SORRY I INFECTED THIS BOARD WITH MY IGNORANCE.

You've got some issues man. How many times do people have to make it clear that we aren't arguing about all time, but rather that Christian's career path looks on par with current top 10 elite players? No one here knows much about what Cruyff, Zidane, etc looked like at 18 because no one was watching all their matches. That's not what we are arguing.
