And though you are right that Pulisic has a higher ceiling than Passlack and is the more exciting prospect; he's not a FB candidate and certainly not for the german NT. Which is what that post was about. Bauer and Max have been starting at LB for their clubs; Bauer in particular is intriguing to me, as he's always impressed with the youth NT in the games I've seen him in. Weiser has gotten his career back on track at Hertha and is a very talented RB candidate; who is seeing regular first league time as well.
And with Passlack staying with the senior squad for BVB, he enters the unclear mess that is BVB's RB depth chart; because, as you pointed out, Pulisic is ahead of him for an attacking position...and that despite all of Pisczek/Ginter/Durm/Stenzel being in the picture, the rotation is still up in air. I've always compared Passlack to a more dynamic Kuba for BVB fans that didn't watch our youth NTs; and Kuba is a player who I always wanted to see played consistently in a midfield trio. So I can certainly envision Passlack growing into a box-to-boxer or winger; but for now, he's seems poised to make his first impacts on senior team football at RB.
I see, I thought you were referring to Bundesliga prospects in general.
No worries, my initial post wasn't the most clear.
