⭐ Young Talents

[Bernard8400]

Are young players becoming overrated because of social media and huge transfer fees?

[vaelora]

For sure, the hype train leaves the station way too early these days. One good season and suddenly they're priced like they've already won a Ballon d'Or.

[phanver]

No doubt, clubs are gambling on potential instead of proven quality now. A few viral clips and suddenly a teenager costs more than a World Cup winner.

[sophnda]

Honestly the fees are insane but I think the real problem is the pressure that comes with it. Hard to develop properly when you're carrying a €100m price tag at 19.

Tbh the price tag is whatever, it's the instant GOAT comparisons after one decent game that kills me. Let them breathe a bit before we start the Messi edits.

[tyclyn]

Yeah the fee inflation is wild but social media makes it way worse, one decent run gets clipped into a 4k compilation with some awful trap beat and suddenly they're the next big thing.

[norixtia]

Do you think it would help if clubs just muted all their social accounts for the first two sesons after signing a kid?

[xceddd]

Do y’all count messi as young talent cause man somebody stop him

[salieriyoo]

Yes, they are overrated nowadays. Rather to give opportunity young players  from their academy, many clubs already spend alot money to buy from other

[shrednda]

Do you think it’s more the agent pumping the hype or just fan pages making everyone look like a future icon off one tap in? Sometimes I wonder if the cubs themselves buy into it and that’s why we see these wild fee jumps.

[AbdElrahman]

For sure 

[Nylramia]

The market has definitely lost its mind wiht some of these fees but I think the real problem is that fans and pundits expect a finished product from a 19 year old after one good month.

[ryogvmg8k9y]

fr some of these kids got more highlight reels than actual minutes played ? let em cook before we call em the next goat ?

[kovaellyn14]

Clubs paying 80 million for a teenager who had six good games was always gonna create this mess.

[dAYATo]

yeah fr one flashy month and ppl act like teh kid is the next goat, social media gasses em up way too fast ? bro

[onyxly4]

its more like they get priced as superstars before they even figure out their own game. half the time the pressure crushes them before they get a chance to develop proper

[ivshengyn722]

do you think the huge wages make em losse motivation faster or is it just the media pressure?

[yxon]

I saw it happen with a winger from Brazil my club signed last season. Scored a bicycle kick in the Copa Libertadores and suddenly every Twitter clip made him look like the second coming, but his actual positioning was shocking for months.

[Runemia]

It feels like we forget that raw talent isn't the same as being consistent over a full season, especially when every kid with a flick or a nutmeg goes viral. Do you reckon scouts are actually evaluating them differently now or is it just the marketing departments losing their heads?

[luxuriantly9]

The system feeds on hype because a million Instagram followers sells shirts faster than a player's actual development. It is less about rating the kid and more about inflating the asset before anyone notices the flaws.

Yildiz

[ivoryraund]

If you’re betting on these matches, look at minutes played not just the highlight reels, a kid with 30 appearances off the bench is way different than a starter. The hype hides when they disappear for 70 minutes then pop up with one goal that gets clipped everywhere.

[Zney]

For sure, the hype train leaves the station way too early these days. One good season and suddenly they're priced like they've already won a Ballon d'Or. 🎯👑
