So Bayern have officially joined the crazy part of the transfer market now. Btw does anyone else believe all that crazy sum spending of the big clubs will actually profit the mid to higher table clubs (the smart ones, not ones like Everton). They will profit from huge transfer sums they then can spend on their clubs while they still buy decent cheaply offered guys from the smaller teams where no big club is interested till they are matured by them. | ||

Switzerland just got a goal off a pretty obvious handball in the penalty area. | ||

But when they change nationality (or decide for one of their multiple nationality) to play for a "better" national team... yeah, there is quite some shit storm. So when a Podolski or an Özil decided to play for Germany, there was a decent amount of complaining from the Polish/Turkish side. While usually nobody gives a damn, when players who were eligible to play for Germany decide to play for whatever else because they don't see a chance in the German squad. An interesting example would be probably the newest super star of Barcelona, Kevin Prince Boateng, who unlike his brother decided to play for Cameroon, because he saw no future in the German NT. In winter sports there is also a quite well known guy in Biathlon, who suddenly took the Belgian citizenship because he had a grandma over there. And nobody was really bitter at him. Most of those cases also pretty clearly show: It is usually not even that easy to assign players to one nationality. So the borders become blurry. One might add, that the acceptance of pure sports mercenaries in Germany isn't the highest though: E.g. in figure skating, where the top pair of Germany is a Ukrainian and a French, you will hear very mixed responses of "how German" people feel that pair is.  But unlike the cases of an Özil or Podolski or whoever, this is mostly as people really see no connection to Germany whatsoever with this pair. There are some other sports, where we have most sports mercenaries too, but they barely make it into the spot light. Nah, where did this come from? It was our coach dumb enough that didn't want Podolski to play in national team. He was declared that he could play for Poland but got refused, so then he started playing for Germany. So that's a whole different story. | ||

7 yeas ago Bayern paid the buyout clause of Javi Martinez against the will of Athletic Bilbao for 40€ (It was a lot back then for a defender). Today they paid the €80 buyout clause for another defender against the will of Atletico Madrid. Atleti really wanted to keep him, because Godin will leave in near future and Lucas was adapted to Simeone's system and he is only 23. Oh, anyway. The market is crazy. | ||

Not sure why Bayern throwing so much money at this guy, they could have got the two best CBs from Bundesliga and still have change left for that fee. Interesting. Don't worry, Bayern is probably going to raid the Bundesliga aswell :p Already secured Pavard for 35, very strong rumours regarding Werner and, who knows, maybe Leverkusen is actually going to sell them a player. | ||

I'm not sure why exactly it is in the rulebook, but I don't think most of the release clauses were even considered that carefully until PSG bought Neymar and the whole market went crazy. Even 3 years ago, that 80 million would probably have been way too much for anyone to even consider. | ||

Release clauses in Spain stem from Royal Decree 1006, which was passed in 1985 and gives footballers in Spain the same rights as all other employees. | ||

Guess this explains it quite well. I find it amusing though in games like FM you can buy out players like Messi for 1 billion euros. | ||

I think Pochetinno was always on the list but they were surprised with how well Ole was doing. | ||
