Hey guys. We need to be realistic now. Why on earth is Bayern chickening out of a bidding war with Arsenal? Why? When Arsenal were at their best and broke records in the EPL, we beat them... 3-1 in Munich which was a very flattering result for THEM. We have a much more illustrious history than them. They have won NOTHING last season... and we're afraid of them?!
If anything, they should be whimpering and cowering in a corner when they hear Bayern being mentioned. We're a much bigger club. Just because last season was the first time they managed to progress further than the quarterfinals of the CL doesn't mean they suddenly became bigger than Bayern. Income? Up until recent they were using a really small stadium. Sure, they've upgraded now to the Emirates Stadium, but it's still smaller than the Allianz Arena and I don't even know if they do fill it every match like Bayern do at the Arena.
So, in conclusion, let us not start fearing any club that's big outside of the Bundesliga. We really should NOT be fearing Arsenal. After all, when their fans voted for the most influential player in their squad, they voted for the only German in the team, Lehmann.
