It is crap when you have leagues dominated year after year by a single team but it can change, for example in Norway Rosenborg dominated for decades but then gradually some other teams managed to muscle their way in but it took a lot of investment to do it. Leagues need to be better at self regulating this thing, if a team is to dominant then place a transfer cap, draft system or something else to level the playing field a bit
We have it. It's called FFP. When were Bayern last up for FFP?
A few years ago, it looked like the mancs would win the league every year. 2 years ago, we were 25 points off the top. Now it's our turn to be 25 points ahead of the competition. If the rest of the league dont like it, it's their problem not ours. We can't be punished for being so far ahead of the rest. This is football, not Formula 1.
Nobody can compete with Bayern anymore. It’s the same with Juventus and Serie A, the league is won before the season even kicks off. No matter how the season is looking at any point, it will always end up finishing with them teams winning it.
5 players signed for a total of 75mill roughly.
Bayern spent 70-72mill on Lucas Hernandez alone. They paid 8mill for the pleasure of loaning Coutinho with the option of paying 110mill for him this summer.
Yet you are saying Dortmund can compete with them financially?
Dortmund are like us, they will only spend big if they get big money from sales too, they have a low net spending. Where as Bayern can spend that money without a moments hesitation and year on year Bayern are up there with the highest spenders in the world.
A day will come when they won’t win it, same with Juve, but it will only like be an off year like when Monaco got that freak year ahead of PSG and then it’s normal service resumed.
Monaco won that league and got to the European Cup semis, then sold off all their assets, Mbappe, Fabinho amongst them, and several coaches later, are down at the bottom of the league. The mancs have spent hundreds of millions of pounds on new players and managers since 2013. They're almost 40 points behind us. They're well able to buy players but are nowhere near winning the league. Back to the Bundesliga...
Dortmund are not like us, they are primarily a selling club, and they don't have a culture of winning. There's already talk of their best players leaving, not even there a year some of them. So they sell them on, rebuild, lose the league, sell more players on and the cycle continues. Last year, they were 9 points clear of Bayern at Christmas, still leading with 6 games to go, and lost the league. While just a few weeks back, they had the chance at home to hurt Bayern in the title race. They didn't perform and they lost. The lazy answer is to blame Bayern for it. The real answer is they're not good enough and they seem happy enough to be best of the rest.
As said before, players want to play for Bayern Munich and that is usually enough alone for the club to sign them up. Ticket prices at Bayern are pocket money by EPL standards, and the fans are prepared to let everyone know the difference when travelling to London clubs for European Cup games. In English.
You proved my point that the Dortmund players you listed didn't come cheap. Of course like most countries in Western Europe, they buy and sell in Euro, so the fees of all of the players are even higher than as stated above.
