I think it just shows what a terrific job Watzke, Zorc and Klopp do. Back then, Leverkusen agreed to sell you Ze Roberto and Ballack in the same year and that completely killed them. We refused to sell Lewandowski and thus had a gradual and easier loss of those two. I mean, sure, maybe we would have been fine considering Götze was never as important for us as Ballack/Ze Roberto were for Leverkusen. But it was a clear statement to our players/fans and the league that we're not willing to sell easily and try to challenge Bayern.I don't think you can blame Bayern for trying to get Vidal or Bender. Ultimately they didn't, it's as stupid as claiming we "tried" to steal Dzeko. Ultimately we didn't steal him. I think the Bremen/Leverkusen years were much worse, but maybe that's because the teams back then were less deep as e.g. Dortmund nowadays. Yurt even had to do some impressive mental gymnastics to fit some of our transfers/not-transfers into the "Steal from rivals just because you can" theory.
A Juventus fan lecturing us about stealing. I'm still baffled.
And Leverkusen didn't manage to bring proper replacements in, while I'd dare to say that we're better off with Micky/Auba/Kagawa than we were with Götze. About Lewa, time will tell. Ramos looks good so far and if Immobile gets going, I'd also say that Ramos + Ciro > Lewa + Schieber. (Mainly because Schieber was terrible :lol :lol :lol)
Also, I don't get why you're baffled about Yurt, he is a BVB fan m8
Whichever child runs that account was always a fucking cretin
It's always been a dreadful account and it's worse when it gets posted in here
There was some funny stuff in the first two weeks or something. Got unbearable after that but now it's even worse because he just can't let go lol
