Given that hardly any player who is signed from Germany to play in the EPL flops on these shores, I can see the logic, but it would be interesting to know why?
did you see dortmund humiliate our champions twice this season? schalke outplay us twice and of course bayern would beat everyone in our league?

the league is run far more sensibly in financial terms, no billionaires can run in and screw it up and in general it is on the rise, whilst ours is on the way down. just because sky and all those muppets hide behind billions and pwetty graphics, there is no hiding the quality in the league right now has been going down for a few years.

pep just went there - the most sought after manager in the world right now. who is to say mourinho won't follow? the arrogance of the papers made sure we all believed it was only chelsea or city he could roll into but this is a sharp reminder of where this league stands right now.
