They probably can but they won't pay that much because they are a sensibly run football club. 500k a week 100mil transfers is Barcelona and PSG. Not Bayern. Maybe that's the reason Bayern are more likeable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this is why we had a profit on player sales this summer. We are probably keeping our money to bring Haaland to Villa Park next summer. He would be a good backup to Ollie and Ings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have an aim to "collect galaticos" in the same as Real Madrid or PSG, they don't spend quite the obscene amounts of Man City, Chelsea, Man Utd etc... ...but they systemically ruin the rest of German football. Got a brilliant player in your team as a German club that isn't Bayern? Bayern will buy him off you. None of the other teams operate in such an anti-competitive way tbh.

Chindie Posted September 20, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 20, 2021 Bayern are Germany's Manchester United, but didn't get involved in the crazy money game to the extent of other clubs at their level across Europe. They are still absolutely despicable, but with a more palatable sustainable pricetag on everything. A club winning their league 15 years out of the last 20, including 8 years on the trot, isn't good. And then having won the cup competitions throughout that period as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayern are just the top team in the league. We need to understand, the Premier League (and Italian league to an extent) are different to the rest of Europe. Most countries have a top dog team that conquers all and naturally, the best players from that league will join them. Can I remind you of what we, Aston Villa did when we were relegated? Bought the best players for money unheard of at the time at that level. You might not like Bayern, but we can't blame them for doing what everyone else is.

Some of this is a bit [citation needed] isn't it. When do people complain about players not seeing out contracts? I can't say that's a very common complaint I've seen. And usually I see people complaining about massive transfer fees in the context of complaining about how some clubs can afford them while most can't, ie people are complaining about exactly the same kind of anti-competitive situation Bayern have engineered, just through a different mechanism.
