Beat 50 goals in a league season? Good luck....
Would be tremendously tough.

We should be looking after ourselves and not care if we 'aid' Bayern or not.
Lewandowski will bring around 40 goals for Barcelona and 40 goals less for Bayern.
He happens to cost us 30m for that. For 30m we're not getting a great long term CF.
So either we have to buy a tier 2-3 striker like Jesus and realize we'll have to spend again in a couple of years, or gamble with a lesser known CF, which is an even bigger risk of having to spend again.
Either way, we spend 30m now, and will have to do it again soon. With Lewa at least we're as close to guaranteed goals as possible on paper.
He'll function as a stop gap allowing us to compete short term during a time where we can't splash 70m on a striker.
Would be tremendously tough.
I am not sure if he will bring 40 goals for us. Not sure at all. New country, new league, setup is completely different, no acres of space here in Spain, get caught up with age, whatever, he might flop hard, there is a chance there.
And if he does, we essentially have another Griezmann situation, high wages, long contract, can't easily offload.
And potentially causing problems in the dressing room.
Lewandowski doesn't need acres of space to score though. He's tremendous at scoring against Parked Buses too.
True but we don't cross as much as they do at Bayern, not remotely close and also our wingers aren't half as efficient and effective as Bayern's.
You cross a fair bit under Xavi, especially after the honeymoon, no wonder he wants another great aerial striker for his crossing game.
I know, but nowhere as much as Bayern does.
Will be even more, after you switch to 442 next season with Luuk and Lewa upfront.
So much for Barca DNA.
Luuk will be gone with or without Lewandowski.
I don't think we are ready to turn into you guys, yet.
NGL, even though i don't particulary want you to get results, if those results are achieved with cross and inshallah, its kind of a win for us.
I am confused. You rather see us deviating from the so-called "Barca DNA" and win games??? Why would you want us to win games?
What does Madrid care about how we or any team plays?
