I agree. Bayern has the materials

to get in the highest level of spending but their common sense and frugality always win out which, to be honest, is a more sustainable and better operating model than what the top of the EPL and La Liga do.

I love Real but I do not want to spend 200+ million Euro for Kane and I do not care if he is the best striker in Europe. I would rather spend in the low 100s (crazy) for someone like Icardi and then put some money into the defense.

I also wonder how Bayern and Real will settle on James. I am thrilled he has had a positive year for Bayern. He definitely deserved the chance and at $30M to own him outright he is an all out bargain in this market.
