Gerd M?ller has died.
Absolute legend of the game. Rip.
Former Bayern assistant Andries Jonker: "I once asked Uli Hoene? why he always buys the best players from Bundesliga rivals, like Mario Gomez from Stuttgart. He said that Bayern do not negotiate in such cases, but always pay whatever the other German club wanted" [@spox]
Jonker: "The said club would then invest the money into a good replacement and put the rest into their own youth academy, which in turn would help Bayern in the future when they get the next good player from that club. I thought that was a nice explanation."
