are some bayern fans really so desperate to claim dortmund has NOT developed st. etienne's best player and donezk's "best" player (just for the record: he played there with douglas costa so by their "logic", bayern payed more for a worse player) into proper stars?
yes, aubameyang cost € 13M and other clubs wanted him too but look at his market value now and WHICH other clubs want him now - acting like developing players on a higher level (while still being raided by the likes of bayern) is not developing stars, that's pathetic...
the likes of gündogan, lewandowski, kagawa, reus... they all were good and showed talent at their former clubs, they all cost a couple of millions, each of them was wanted by other clubs too but can you really argue that they became proper stars in dortmund at some point?
I disagree, Aubameyang, Reus, Miktarayn ( fuck his name) weren't no names that only showed a bit of talent, they were already performing very well. Dortmund developed them, but those weren't no names. Imo Gündogan, Lewa and Kagawa are good examples of Dortmund's ability to develop players, but the 3 others were far from being "average" players as they call them there.
