Germans seem to be very stupid when it comes to football sense.

Dortmund isn't even a bigger club than fking newcastle.

no1 would join city or chelsea, if they paid the same wages as some other clubs. their entire appeal is based around money from day 1.

leipzig going to rival dortmund in a few years. if you think that isn't about cash either, more power to your deluded brain.

for the amount of money spend the pl clubs doing a piss poor job on the international lvl so far. remains to be seen if it changes next year.

holy shit, marcin - that's hilarious! that might just be the wittiest comeback in the history of banter!



seriously though, the only reason the premier league is still close to bundesliga is that the clubs have almost unlimited funds to spend and keep buying our best players... trying so hard to buy that 2nd spot back, it's pathetic really...

LOL. Bayern is the only reason why bundesliga is even relevant.
Dortmund is selling all of their best players to the Prem (Mhik and gundogan are very smart, and reus + auba are very foolish to stay at that club right now. Although I guess reus isn't that good of a buy because of his injuries.)

Germany has one top club and that is bayern. Dortmund is a team who makes talent just like Porto+benfica.

CASE CLOSED.

Higuain refuses to show up for Napoli's pre-season. He's pushing for a move.

Juventus, Liverpool and Arsenal heavily linked.

Juventus allegedly have tabled a 75M offer (probably Pereyra, who is valued at 18M + cash).

Higuain has a 94M release clause. If Juventus meets it, or even has the first bid accepted then they will surely be selling Paul
On the other hand, Higuain is a world class #9 who I don't like that much.

Hugain at juve would be fucking sick. But wont happen imo

very unprofessional if true... and if he ends up joining it would make serie a even more boring imo...

they are selling their best players, and still doing more than fine on the international lvl compared to english teams that spend a fortune. quite embarrassing to say the least.

doubt its changing anytime soon. seeing bvb buying guerreiro (arguably a top 2 full back at the ec) before the ec for peanuts, just shows bvb's brain trust is way ahead of some of the english clubs. doing more with less.

bayern lost in the semis just like city, wolfsburg (who did quite shit in bundesliga) was a reason germany had once again a better season than england.

Agreed. To be honest, I'm not a fan of signing a rival's best players. Pjanic from Roma was one thing, it allowed them to retain Nainggolan and he is not their best player.

Then again Napoli with 94M would be able to do a hell of a lot, they are a Champions League team with a very nice squad as it is.

It seems dangerously prepared for Juventus to sign him though. My god what a squad Juve would have assembled this summer if true

Higuain
Pjanic
Dani Alves
Benatia

Ridiculous

Buffon
Bentia/Barzagli/Rugani - Bonucci - Chiellini
Dani Alves/Liechtsteiner - Khedira - Pogba - Sandro/Evra
Pjanic
Dybala - Higuain

Could think of worse squads, that's for sure...
