Their quick action to grab the best players from Bundesliga foes has always been a game-changer. Lewandowski was a free move from Dortmund, which I remember. What a score! As if Bayern weren't already strong enough, they're making the competition even weaker on purpose. Absolutely, that's a smart move. I think they're successful for more reasons than just getting the best players. It's almost uncanny how well Bayern knows when to purchase players. They intelligently spend their money instead of just throwing it around. Their strategic thought is what really sets them apart, even though they've built a financial powerhouse. Rich people aren't enough; how they spend their money is what matters
True words, but they are currently concerned that Saudi Arabia could further drive player prices and salaries, which would give them a hard time to keep up with the inflationary market. At the same time this market development would mean less time to raise your own talent.
What ultimately counts though are titles. Until now it looks all great and peaceful in regards to the Harry Kane transfer because he is scoring goals like nobody else before him, but all of that could turn into dust when they win no titles. They are out of the DFB Pokal, the Bundesliga could be tougher than usual due to Leverkusen and it would be bad if they can't get past the quarterfinal in the Champions League. Even if Kane scores goals like crazy, it would still not have paid off then.
