Your thoughts on RB Leipzig

[ijjysmith]

Yeah similar, it was a red and dark blue half and half type shirt iirc

Francesco Baiano was the main man, not sure what happened in his career after Foggia, think he went on to Fiorentina?

He went to Derby for a bit I think!

You for or against this type of thing mate?

Neither really

I mean, Bayern Munich spend shedloads of money too like, so there's no "good guy" here as far as I'm concerned

That's modern football, the more money you have the more chance you have of winning a title

If we spend our way to a Premier League title, you won't hear me complaining!

It's funny, it's like Bayern et al can't complain about them spending loads of money on players, so use the ownership rule to make them the baddie instead.

Personally I think sweeping up all the best talent is far worse than not having some commie ownership thing.

Yeah he did, just checked his Wikipedia and he played 64 games and scored 16 goals from 97-2000, can't even remember that!

A better ratio than Shane Long at Southampton. Interesting.

@chicoazul if English hooligans throw patio chairs, does that mean German's chuck sun loungers?

Think someone is jealous

Let's face it, as previously said, you can't slag off one, and not the other. RB Leipzig spend millions developing youth. Ralf Rangnick is doing a great job at making that youth excellent too. It's not like they are signing World Class player after World Class player, or scalping their rivals for all their decent players Ala. Bayern (you'd be sick if you were a BVB fan wouldn't you? As soon as you get a semi-decent player, Bayern poach them).

They're running a club, which crucially the locals are happy with. The only reason why the fans are fuming is because they're fearing it may happen to them. But lets face it, there's zero chance of that happening, ever! Remember a few years back Schalke or Dortmund boycotted a game because they "Hiked" ticket prices from €14, to €22, and were unhappy.

No Way will German football ever be dictated by money, the fans know this, the mass fume for me, is 100% about a new club coming, and taking the limelight. If they win the league with a very young team, I'd say it's one of the greatest stories of world football, regardless of the money they've spent.

They're the future.

We already have Gazprom Donetsk and Adidas München.

Not to mention VW Wolfsburg and BAYER Leverkusen - the original financial dopers!.

And Dortmund themselves have dubious financial history.

In England, Evraz Chelsea and Manchester Dhabi have already shaken the game up.
