Lothar Matthaus has cme out to blast Bayern Munich directors for their recruitment strategy. He recently had his say following Joao Palhinha’s departure just one year after signing him.
According to him, the Palhinha signing was always an unnecessary one for the German club, and they only have Tottenham to thank for loaning the player off them this summer.
Lothar added that Bayern Munich already had 4 to 5 players who could play the DM position before Joao came in.
His words, “Thanks to Joao Palhinha’s loan to Tottenham Hotspur, Bayern Munich got away with just one and a half black eyes.
Thomas Tuchel desperately wanted Palhinha, but Vincent Kompany didn’t rely on him. Looking back at the history of the transfer, he was ultimately unnecessary and superfluous.
Bayern has four or five players who can play in that position. They didn’t do a lot of homework and paid a lot of money for a player who barely played in Munich.
You can’t always do everything right. But Palhinha wasn’t the only bad investment; [Bryan] Zaragoza, [Bouna] Sarr, and [Sacha] Boey, who came from Galatasaray for €30 million, also cost a lot of money. All of them, however, had little to no playing time.”
WOW.
