He played 90 minutes twice for Germany over the last international break

So at 21 he won his 6th and 7th cap. Brilliant. Now compare with Bellingham who at 22 has won not too far off 50 caps for his country. A country that has been doing considerably better than Germany over the last 10 years because it's far stronger.

Not really. Pavlovic isn't better than Rice and that's all there is to it. Maybe in 3 or 4 years he could be, but nobody can say for sure. Not every player improves season upon season. Then you can obviously have bad luck with injuries.

I actually follow the Bundesliga more than the Premier League, and League One in England more than the Premier league. Am I somehow super biased to England because I highly rate Kane and Palmer? Or think that Rashford will do better for Barcelona than some would have predicted? I dont see it.

It’s seems lost on you that being a regular for Bayern speaks more to a players quality than being a regular for Arsenal

You claimed he wasn’t a regular when he is. I don’t know why you’re deflecting to Bellingham, Straw Man.

My contention is that Pav isn't better now, but might be in future. On that we align.

I also agree with you on most English players - it's more your ultra positive slant than the fact you rate them.

You're obsessed with Rashford. What is the point you're even trying to make?

Pavlovic has 7 caps for Germany. 7. He's 21. He has less than 50 appearances for Bayern, with plenty of them as a sub. To even compare him right now to a seasoned midfielder like Rice is insane. And let's not pretend Germany are even grest these days. They've done absolutely nothing for years.
I am not interested in Pavlovic vs Rice. Just saying you're penalising Pavlovic for things that apply as much if not more to Rashy - and you don't penalise him for them.

7 caps for the senior national team at 21 isn’t abnormal. His playing 90 minutes twice over the last international break speaks for itself.

And in one of those games he was subbed off against Northern Ireland for having a rubbish match. The other game was against Luxembourg.

Let's compare him to Rice when he actually has a few good seasons behind him in the Bundesliga and is one of the first names on his clubs team sheet like Rice is for Arsenal, eh?
