The Bayern Munich sporting director reckons that both the English clubs have been adapting a ‘childish’ approach in the transfer market.
Christian Nerlinger has accused Manchester City and Chelsea for spending wildly in the transfer market. He feels that both the clubs lack proper structure and are unaware of each of their player’s responsibilities. Nerlinger further
added that these English clubs lack key philosophical elements which Bayern Munich, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 and Manchester United possess.
The former Bavarian midfielder believes that Manchester City and Chelsea have been spending heavily in the transfer market regardless of their heavy losses. Last season, Chelsea spent 50 million pounds alone for the transfer of
former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707, who has been a huge flop at the Stamford Bridge.
On the other hand, Manchester City spent millions on the transfer of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Joleon-Lescott-c18941. Despite these big-name signings, City have so far not been
able to achieve anything of note, and as a result, there is a surplus of attackers in their ranks.
The lasts season’s joint top goal scorer alongside http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carlos-c8346 Tevez, has been resigned to the bench this term which is a clear indication of City’s ‘sick spending-habits’.
Nerlinger added that even his current club had to go through plenty of problems in big competitions, but they never changed their economic philosophy. He assured that the Reds will stick to their economic philosophy even after
the Euro 2012.
While talking to Goal.com, the former Bayern Munich midfielder further stated:
“Yes, of course we thought about it because the last three or four years after big tournaments, we had a problem. But always it’s about philosophy and we don’t want the Manchester City model.”
The 38-year-old stated that Bayern want players who are hungry for trophies unlike City, who are more interested in landing top names without thinking of the club and the player’s future.
"We don’t want 22 world class players and a balance sheet that is growing and growing and growing. We want to have players that have a perspective so that they can play on a regular basis. It’s always about finding the right structure
in the squad and we are, of course, thinking about that," Nerlinger concluded.
Bayern Munich have been regarded as one of the most financially stable clubs in Europe, in comparison to City and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 who have losses of over $100 million.
