Stay strong Appie! ❤
Haaland and Sancho are the clear cut favorites.
But that’s a crappy ass list. Geertruida and Bakker haha.

I've not seen as much of Anjorin, but from the development squad games I did catch I thought Gilmour was better.
What is the age cut off? Awards like this really are silly though. For 95% of those players they're just no way to compare them. Different leagues, different types of clubs, different levels of progression in development, etc.

Sancho AINEC. He leads players of all ages in G+A this season.
If production matters, this won’t be close.

And they included players that have nothing to do there, while missing very obvious names.
Haaland will be ranked above him, and Camavinga dragged in mid-table team to the CL at age 16/17.

Why would Haaland be ranked above him? Sancho has played all season against the level of competition that Haaland will play half a season against. Let’s see a full season of Haaland producing like that before comparing his season to Sancho. He’s great, but Sancho is more proven.
And Sancho is English. Haaland is Norwegian. If there’s any country bias here, it should favor Sancho with the English media having a lot of influence over football culture.

It’s impressive and he probably should come second, but I think his lack of a full season in one of the best leagues comes second to a full season of great play by Sancho in all competitions.

Haaland is also a striker and Sancho is a winger.
That said Davies has stepped in at 19 and in a lot of games been Bayern's best player. He completely shut down and frustrated Sancho and has also been present on the scoresheet. I could see Sancho, Haaland and Camavinga though also, but Davies has been just as impressive if not moreso. I think it takes a special kind of talent to step in at 19 on one of the best teams on the planet and not only hold down a starting spot but excel and be one of the best players on the way to the title and possibly the CL.
karamoko dembele is our top academy prospect since probably the 80s in terms of hype and projection, but hes a 17 year old thats played a few minutes in the SPFL so far. how could you compare him to someone like haland or sancho?
