I don't think Bayern gives a shit about the "strength" of clubs like Stuttgart, they care more about their own squad. Upa is the first player they buy from a competitor since 2016 (Hummels). | ||

Are you seriously comparing the 'poaching' between Dortmund and Bayern? There's a big difference between poaching up-and-comers, and proven star players of domestic rivals. Götze & Lewandowsi going to MU or RM is less bad because there's just Dortmund losing out. Bayern doing the poaching means +1 for Bayern and -1 for Dortmund - a double whammy. I'm a fan of Ajax as well. And admittedly, they're dominant in the Dutch league. They may do their fair share of 'poaching', but they operate more like Dortmund (but with more success historically). Edit: Responding to TerransHill actually. Just wanted to add from where gTank left off. What is there not to compare? Thorgan Hazard was a proven starplayer for Gladbach for example, I would not call him an "up-and-comer", and even then, what does that even matter?. Doesn't matter how you put it, Dortmund is doing the same thing to other clubs. I don't blame them for it and I don't think there's a direct intend to weaken the opposition behind it. But it's ridiculous to cry about Bayern doing it to them at the same time. There is a clear career path in the Bundesliga regarding salaries and prestige. Everyone is buying from lower clubs, and Dortmund established itself as the club beneath Bayern. And your double whammy is way to hyped up. Sure it feels bitter at first, but imagine Lewandowski goes to Real Madrid and Bayern gets Benzema. Dortmund would still remain behind Bayern. So why would Bayern not get Lewandowski if he is the better fit and wants to play for them? | ||

In English idiom it’s the ‘draught excluder’ (the thing you stick under a door to stop annoying cold air currents, and in Italy it’s called the ‘crocodile’ but I’m not sure why haha Wonder what it’s called elsewhere | ||

But it is a great way to use shorter players... Or is it better to have the tall ones lay down? Hmm. Im sure Ill be getting the Baader-Meinhof effect on this one and will be seeing it everywhere from now on just to rub it in. | ||
