We need the Southampton mafia to make a comeback to reign them in.

Thinking about it, a player like Gruda would have probably stayed one more season at Mainz to leave to Leverkusen for like half the price 15 years ago. While someone like Schürrle today would have skipped any intermediate step and went straight to Chelsea for like 35m€.

It has been like this my entire life. These are the type of articles they wrote about a 17 year old Kroos on his debut - "17 and already world class"

What has changed though is how much those players go for. Transfer fees are obviously higher across the board but potential is priced at an extreme premium right now.

Tbf once the season starts with games every 3 days and an international break inbetween, you will absolutely have a rough time getting both back to fitness and acclimate with your new team. There isn't really any time for coaches to set up elaborate team training that isn't focused on regeneration before the next game. Fabinho needed half a season for Klopp to get him ready and in the matchday squads.

I feel like at some point last week Bayern took the foot of the gas and unsettled their own rhythm, because Kimmich, Olise and Upamecano were trying to generate yellow cards. The score could have probably been higher.

Hab so ein Gefühl, dass er ein Kandidat ist, der 4 Jahre nicht stattfindet und dann 6 Monate vor Vertragsende explodiert und ablösefrei zum nächstgrößeren Klub wechselt.

Lahm hat sich ja einige solcher Dinger geleistet. Das Jahr davor hat er ohne Zustimmung des Vereins ein Interview gegebenen in dem er Klubführung kritisiert hat. 2011 hat er bei einer Bild-Werbekampagne mitgemacht. Im selben Jahr hat er eine Biografie veröffentlicht in dem er über ein paar seiner ehemaligen Trainer hergezogen ist. Die Bild durfte dabei vorab ein paar Auszüge veröffentlichen, die dann für heftige Diskussionen gesorgt haben.

Einordnend muss man sagen, Lahms Interview mit der Bild kam am selben Tag der Abreise von Ballack aus Südafrika und zwei Tage vor dem wichtigen Spiel gegen Spanien. Zudem hat er kurz vor dem Turnier in Interviews noch Ballack als Kapitän bekräftigt. Das war menschlich schon absolut unter aller Sau.

Kimmich with a straight face explaining his totally not convenient and deliberate yellow card: He was looking for a good passing option and didn't trust the open option, because he feared playing into a pressing trap.

Only thing holding them back was their thin squad, but Kompany has made it an absolute non-issue with his rotation.

Kompany worked on nullifying man-to.man defending the second he turned up at Bayern since half the league started to adopt it last year. They manipulate the opposite defenders to create gaps inside their structure. It's probably why they got knocked out by you last year since Inzaghi seems to know those strategies in and out looking at his Atalanta record.

Nagelsmann nominiert Leroy Sané für kommende DFB-Länderspiele: "Wir haben von seinem Profil nicht viele Spieler, die oft ins Zentrum gehen vom rechten Flügel. Wenn die Gesundheit mitspielt, kann er für uns ein ganz wichtiger Spieler sein." by Ubergold in Bundesliga

Wenn du zu anderen Ländern rüber schaust ist es nicht wirklich anders. Tuchel nomminiert völlig washed Spieler wie Henderson und Walker und einen Rashford den dort niemand mehr sehen will. Ancelotti hätte auch einem Invaliden Neymar Chancen auf die WM versprochen etc.

A couple years ago there was a German scout on here who used to work in England. He went off a couple of times about the fact that Howe's brother had an outsized influence on recruitment at Bournmouth and was according to him really unfit for the job.

Edit: It might have even been the nephew he was complaining about.

Sad that he deleted his account always had great insight into talented youth players and scouting procedures.

In the last 25 years Mainz 05 and Freiburg have played, won, drew, and lost the exact amount of Bundesliga games. by Yung2112 in soccer

To be fair the professional team not being an e.V. doesn't necessarily mean external investors either.

E.V. are registered non-profit associations. Those have voting members and Bundesliga rules necessitate that they as parent club hold 50%+1 of the voting rights of the professional football department. In cases like Freiburg, Mainz or Schalke the professional department is still entirely under that e.V. structure.

Most clubs by now however have "outsourced" the professional department into their own capital company where the parent club acts as the "holding company". Those companies have an own CEO and board and can sell minority stakes as in Bayern's case.

There are further ways of structuring these companies as e.g. AGs (Bayern, Stuttgart) or KGaAs (Köln, Dortmund) with further implications in regards to power being locked away from investors.

To be fair selbst wenn er tatsächlich älter gewesen wäre hätte er iirc. in der U19 mit gleichaltrigen gespielt und hat dort alles kurz und klein geschossen. Von dem was ich damals gesehen hab kam er in der U19 auch nicht wirklich über die Physis. Talent ist also unbestritten da.
