I struggle to remember an elite brazilian striker in the last years, then vardrid signs some kid and suddenly we sign one, clear FOMO effect.
The difference is that they can splurge money on luxury signings without risk.
The mistake is thinking brazil where 38yo Hulk is scoring goals for fun is any better than segunda.
And signing a 19yo in a position of need is the dumbest thing ever, Lewandowski is 36 and now injured, did anyone really buy this "he'll stay 3 more seasons" stuff?
The same thing that happened with Ter Stegen could happen at any point

Right now the reality looks like this. 20 goals are totally unrealistic with this output, not even Manure wants those kind of stats. Currently sitting at 13th.
As of now that's 3 real goals.
