Well, it is actually not untrue that many German clubs have recently been buying young players from France, England, etc., but there are actually also great talents in Germany (of course, not as many as before, but still). Schalke and Mainz have brought in a bit of an exaggerated amount of foreign players from France and so on and that’s why there are groups and an unbalanced team that no fan can identify with. This is one of the reasons why the two are now threatened with relegation.-
When it comes to Mainz, I immediately think of Niakhate, Diallo, Gbamin and Mateta, who were arguably the best transfers in recent years in terms of sport and finance.
German talents were also brought in, Meier, Kilian & Sverko come to mind …
I don’t have to think twice about what the better deals were and maybe the reason for being in league 1 at all …
When it comes to Schalke, only Harit, Stambouli and Mendyl come to mind. Harit is basically a great transfer, Stambouli is solid and Mendyl was a flop, but there were far worse misjudgments and the current situation is definitely not to be seen in transfers from France, that as a Schalke fan you should know that Schalke certainly won’t it was because of these three transfers that you ran down financially and athletically.
Money was burned at Geis, Embolo, Konoplyanka and, in retrospect, Bentaleb, which should have been quite difficult in terms of gelatin.
That only to the French in Mainz and Schalke.
I don’t even want to start with the British, everyone dreams of a deal like Sancho.
I understand what you’re getting at, but the great German talents aren’t currently in abundance.
And the guys who have what it takes will also prevail in the short or long term, see Wirtz, Havertz, Koch, Neuhaus etc. all talents who have made the leap from lower-class clubs or directly from the youth.
The list goes on and on.
What Schwabl addresses also goes against the young thesis, because there was obviously interest from Germany. You just don’t know from which club and which sums are involved with a possible financial background.
In any case, I don’t see talent from abroad getting in the way of Germans in the end, quality usually prevails
