However the point I argued is that if the German league continues to lose its young stars - Khedira heading to Real Madrid example #1 - it will not live up to the lofty stature some believe it can. The potential move of Ozil would continue this trend. The latest rumor, which is not really a rumor since the noise has been there since prior to World Cup, is that the Turkish - German play-maker is looking to make a move away from his current club. The likely destinations appear to point to the EPL....surprise surprise. Clearly this is not a surprise. Werder Bremen is a solid Bundesliga side, but clearly not in the category of a Bayern Munich in terms of appeal and financial heft.So does this spell the doom of Werder or the Bundesliga? Of course not. And a point that fellow podcaster Gooner made - the financial situation in the EPL, La Liga and Serie A will eventually catch up to them and this could allow the profitable Bundesliga to take advantage of that situation. While this might come to fruition, I think we will see the EPL and La Liga still attract and purchase the biggest names on the transfer market in the near future. While the Bundesliga will chase the likes of Raul and Ballack, great players and names but players on the tail end of careers. I guess this is better than Ligue 1 which seems to have its players all run off to Turkey....Gouvou, Boumsong heheehheeeee.....
