Luis Díaz

Some goal that. He really seems to have gone up a level since leaving us. Good luck to him

It's a much easier league in fairness but he does seem to be playing very well. We do miss his unpredictability and that fact he actually took players on as oppose to nobody in our squad being able to do that... is pretty annoying.

Wirtz was the player of the season and look how that’s turning out…

Bayern Space, @BayernSpace

Inside Bayern’s dressing room Luis Díaz has spoken with a clarity that caught even members of the staff off guard. He has reportedly told teammates that the Bundesliga is nothing like what he fought through in the Premier League. The intensity feels softer, the rhythm slower and the spaces wider than anything he ever experienced in England.

Díaz was stunned by how much freedom attackers are given here, how defenders retreat instead of confronting and how duels lack the violence and urgency he once met every single weekend.

Luis Díaz expected adaptation, he expected pressure, he expected the strain of a new league, yet instead he found room to breathe. Teammates around him, especially those who once played in the Premier League, repeat his comparisons, that players in England survive by inches and seconds, while here entire pockets of space open around him and defenders move with a hesitation he never saw at Liverpool or anywhere else in the Premier League.

There were also conversations with Bayern’s physios where it was said that, for his body, this league may be a blessing in the later stages of his career, offering fewer collisions, fewer sprints and fewer battles that leave marks for days. Even so, he finds himself taken aback by the drop in level, surprised by the gentleness of a league he assumed would test him far more deeply.

Inside Bayern this has not gone unnoticed, as another elite footballer arrives from England and within weeks reaches the same conclusion many internally have feared, that the Bundesliga no longer carries the intensity of Europe’s best, that its pace comes in waves rather than storms, and that its resistance bends far too easily.

It is a league that flatters attackers and exposes defenders, a league where world class players feel not challenged but unshackled.

Luis Díaz expected a battle, instead he found space.

Kane is top class and will score anywhere in fairness, chap has been putting up huge numbers for years. But yeah we can all see how easy the league is in comparison to the Prem. Pace, tempo, physicality all well below the prem.

He's going to get a massive kick in the bollocks in the next league game

You'd think our expert scouts and buyers would have considered that the bundeslige is a bit softer

24 goals and 20 assists so far in his debut season for BM, good job we had Gakpo to replace him

[Buzzo]

He’s had a good season for sure and is 100% better then Gakpo. Knowing how we covered for losing Diaz was really the main question mark from last season.

However, even Cody would be good for 20 odd goals in the Bundesliga for Bayern.

He wanted to go though didn't he? Club made him improved contract offers but his mind was made up. Can't see what else we were supposed to do.

He has been a big loss, it's not that often that players move and improve after leaving us but at least we made some money on the move

He has acknowledged that the Bundesliga is a step down from the PL & is enjoying all the space the German teams are leaving him to do damage with so to say he has "improved" is a bit presumptious.

[danperkins]

He's had a fantastic season but the league is an absolute joke. Kane and Olise are putting up ridiculous numbers too. Look at how much Wirtz and Frimpong have struggled to adapt to the prem after running the show in the Bundas and this is a weak premier league.

[Charly]

I hoestly dont think it is a weak premier league. I think the weaker teams have beefed up. Maybe not the greatest skills, but Klopp showed what you can do with fitness, organisation and pressing.

[Buzzo]

Hard to disagree.

Diaz himself has acknowledged the Bundesloga is a piece of piss. But he was a threat in the Prem - a maverick. We’ve missed him. Gakpo has been plodding and predictable.

Easy for morons like Micah Richard to blather on with the advantage of hindsight.

Gakpo played very well last season and Diaz had been looking for an out for a few seasons. Kind of gets lost that his agent spoke with reps from Barca the two seasons before he moved to Bayern.

Diaz wanted his big pay day and we had Gakpo who was performing well before this season. We also had Salah on the other flank whose drop off in goals/assists could not have been predicted.

If this season had Gakpo playing like last season and Salah with even 50% to 60% of last season's output, then the same "experts" would be saying it was smart business.


It's amusing the way a **** player with so few brain cells and as lacking in self awareness as Richards goes and carries himself like he is an authority on anything.
