Thiago is top class, it was a masterstroke by Pep to bring him to Bayern. I have a sneaky feeling Thiago does not feel as much loyalty to Barcelona as Cesc and Pique did, and as a result, the fear that he will move back to Barca in a few years is not that big imo. Probably has to do with the fact he isn't originally Catalan.
Of course that's a huge factor, but couldn't you say the same about United when Pique left them, to a slightly lesser extent I know, but the same principle more or less applies, because they did reach a couple of CL finals, won PL titles for fun and were generally one of the best in Europe at the time.
Watze expressed his dissatisfaction at Bayern's transfer policy, and claimed that it is turning the Bundesliga into a one-horse race.
"There is currently no other league that is dominated by one single club like Bayern in the Bundesliga. The situation is not like in the Spanish Liga, but is more like in the Scottish league," Watzke told reporters.
"Bayern are hitting back now [after Dortmund's two titles]. They want to destroy us to make sure we will never be a danger to them again.
"And they are doing so by signing our players.
"We don't stand a chance when our players can earn twice as much elsewhere. Despite everything, we will not change our strategy, though."
