Oh the bitterness.

Boateng is by far the best CB in the world ATM. What a beast
Thiago Silva is the best. Boateng is top 5 sure

No, I do not remember those times as I was only a child back then. Bit hypocritical as a Barca fan to complain about other team buying players from weaker teams inside the domestic league.
I was a child back then too, has nothing to do with it. And no one was complaining; we were merely describing.

The current Barca quad has 17 out of 25 players from La Masia and only two players( Alves, Adriano) are from a domestic rival. And certainly Sevilla is not our fiercest rival+main competitor for the title. Anyway, every club has its unique identity and you should embrace the identity of your club, which many of the Madrid fans have already done and I really respect them for that.

You can add Alba to that list even though he came from la masia, Barcelona bought him from a weaker side. Dante, Mandzukic, Götze, DvB and Rafinha are from domestic rivals. But yeah Bayern is the big bad wolf while Barcelona is a saint, hilarious. But on a less sarcastic note, you got the last part right

What I find hilarious is your hypocrisy accusation, considering you make claims while obviously knowing very little about the Bundesliga, or not having followed it for more than the last few years. Bayern have a decade-long history of raiding potential direct competitors, which is a fact. I don't know why you started the Barca comparisons, but while we're at it, it would be comparable if Barca bought the best players from their main title rival, which usually is Real Madrid, and left them more or less ineffective. This is what Bayern has done on multiple occasions not just to Dortmund, but to any club that posed a major title threat to them - as I said, KSC is one example. This is the reason why the Bundesliga has been a one horse race for many many years, and every time this status quo seems in danger, Hoeneß is sure to do something about it. Your bitterness comment probably hints at the 7-0 defeat? Makes little sense, since Bayern started doing that 30 years prior to that, and since it's not just hurt Barca or Dortmund fans complaining about it.

Thiago Silva hasn't been that good so far this season, and I was talking about who's the best CB right now and that is, IMHO, Boateng, by far.

Boateng slides in too easily in my opinion, the fouls he gives up will end up costing Bayern sooner rather than later.

I'm not denying it. But merely pointing out Bayern isn't the only one doing it, every team that is capable of doing it does it. Dortmund bought Hummels from Bayern and Bayern bought Götze from them, I call that even. but only Bayern gets the blame. But personally I'm quite fond of the club's attitude of not giving a fuck about anyone else, not sure if any other club in the world possesses such a brazen attitude.

Wow that is great news. The Bundesliga clubs have always had very good finances and little to no debt but couldnt compete with the spending power of the PL and the rich clubs of La Liga and Serie A, but with more TV money even smaller clubs can now spend some money. I think the quality of the league has already risen a lot over the last years, this will give the league another boost. And this new generation of german players like Reus, Götze, Müller and so on looks to be one of the best we've ever had. Great times ahead.
