What was the last top ranked world leading player to move to play in Germany after he has reached the top? Germany is not that kind of league.

Spoiler: money is not everything but ..

Germany is largely a league for German players, 6 - 7/10 level non-german players getting on in years and younger players moving up to bigger leagues from 2nd and 3rd ranked leagues. It is like the Dutch league on steroids.

Get a list of the top hundred stars in world football history, remove the German natives and near-native non-locals (like for example Klose), and see how few of them ever played for a German team.

Or even try this list FIFA 100 - Wikipedia

Going to Bayern is still a smart move for MBappe. Will probably pickup atleast 3 CL wins before he's 30 years old if he does.

It depends when this was said? I researched the quotes and the best I could see that this was said on the eve of the World Cup Final? If so he was spot on about Mbappe at that moment. His game definitely wasn’t complete and played as he was a teenager but those quotes definitely don’t apply to him now. Mbappe development is following the progress of Ronaldo, from speedy tricky athletic winger to a proper goal scorer and match winner.

Mbappe broken on to the scene as a striker. His wingers were Lamar and Bernardo Silva. He was proper goalscorer and match winner from the start.

Everyone knows Mbrappe is really striker. He is modern forward who doesn't really have a position as he excels in any role in the forward line but he has always been a 9

Liga was never the best league lol
He needs to go to epl and call it a day if he a real bodmon. Or he can wait a few more years

if he wants to win and score a ton, then sure go to Munich but meh

Bit pointless pointing out potential destinations for Mbappe when the reality is there’s maybe 3 clubs in world football who could even afford the fee + wages he’d want right now.

He already plays for one of those clubs and i don’t see him ending up in Manchester.

Chelsea maybe could but they’re such a nothing club i can’t see him going there.

I think he’s stuck in Paris until he runs his contract down.

 

[Gilver]

Oh his contract runs out in 2022 i thought it was later

Go ahead then lads

Stop mentioning Arsenal even as a joke though


He’ll end up at Real.

Pique trying to hang on to his career as a top level footballer.

No Cavani or VDB tomorrow and Pogba out until March.

With our fixture list coming up it might be about to get ugly.

How is Ole perceived by the fanbase at the moment ? Man seemed super polarizing in the start of the season where you guys were struggling but I feel it was kind of unfair to him. He might not be an elite coach but he's proven that he was at least a good one IMO
