The team that started against Barca was quoted at costing just less than €100m.Its been puzzling me for a few days, ever since I heard the figure. (which I may have misheard).
But that Bayern team that has just won the CL, cost £60m.
they sold Hazard and Morata for 150m, They're absolutely balling.
The team that started against Barca was quoted at costing just less than €100m.
Neuer €30m
Kimmich €8.5m
Boateng €11.5m
Alaba €0.125m
Davies €10.5m
Goretzka Free
Thiago €25m
Gnarby €8m
Muller: academy
Perisic: on loan
Bob: free
There most expensive player, Hernandez, was on the bench costing €80m, but Sule €20m, Tolisso €41.5m, Coutinho €8.5m loan deal and Coman €21m.
While they're notorious for tapping people up on free transfers and loan deals within Germany, you've got to give their scouting and frugality a big applause.
Compare it with the silly prices that we've paid for bang average to dross, and you can't help feel a bit sad.
It's an impressive list that started the game, but don't look at in isolation.....
tosillo - £37m
Sule £18m
Renato Sanches £32m
Lucas henrnandez - £72m
Pavard - £31m
It's not as if they are shaking the poor box around. It does tell an interesting story of how cost doesn't ensure quality, as we no better than anyone
that’s what people forget. They’ve also just got rid of Willian and Pedro too. They’ll probably offload two centrebacks as well in Christensen and Rudiger/Zouma that would bring in 50 mill.
They’ve recruited extremely well so they always have a lot of high quality players they don’t need which they can sell to offset the FFP problems. They could go out now and sell Abraham, Hudson Odoi, Loftus Cheek, Barkley, Reece James, Tomori, and it would barely affect their first team but would probably recoup the money they’ve just shelled out.
As long as Lampard doesn’t mess up as manager they are seriously stacked for a tilt at the title.
they’ve also just bought Sane for a lot as well.

Problem is...too many signings and it may not work.
Got to remember how is Lamps gonna get them to play as a unit, get the best out of them etc. While I think they're looking strong, I won't be all that surprised if it doesn't entirely work out straight away
their potential first 11 looks strong though.
Kepa
Azpilicueta Silva Sarr Chilwell
Kante Kovacic
Ziyech Havertz Pulisic
Werner
That’s a title winning 11 if Lampard can get them to gel.
Sarr as CB?their potential first 11 looks strong though.

Nice to see their vaunted academy project under Lampard lasting one enforced season haha.
Sarr as CB?
