Honestly BBB...I don't consider Mane @30 or Gotze at @20 as huge players signing..I really don't
No bother AZed... still, at £34m, Mane is 'bigger' (more expensive) than anyone he signed at BvB and (when we were
only being linked with low cost players) you along with others
did infer that Jürgen wouldn't break with 15 years of 'tradition' and that we should all know this.
Personally speaking I truly believe that, the only reason Jürgen didn't spend bigger in Germany was that he didn't have the money. In fact, when he did have the surplus, he spent it [Mickthearmenian and Immobile for example]. Although, if you still want to, you can argue the toss on who you think warrants the tag 'big player' or how relative (exactly) the fees are.
You'll realise tho', that if you do go down the route of relatively [i.e. Premier v Bundesliga spending power] then all the cheap BvB transfers suddenly become a tad more expensive. Given the relative amounts of money and cost of players in each league,
your example of Reus probably works out as a similar deal to the £35m we got for Sterling.
Listen; it's all good - although I'd prefer Reus to a kid who might be the "new Reus", five years from now: I honestly don't give a F**k what money Jürgen (or any manager) spends on which players...
as long as he's getting exactly who he wants - never have, never will and I'm bemused when others do.
For me; It's
that simple.
