Why shouldn't Bayern do what every other club in the league does, too. Schalke cannot complain that Bayern got Goretzka for free when a week earlier they got Uth for free from Hoffenheim. And the Bundesliga is not help when all good players go abroad either.
Bundesliga-Table after matchday 21 in the last five seasons:
17/18: FCB 53, B04 35, RBL 35
16/17: FCB 50, RBL 45, BVB 37
15/16: FCB 56, BVB 48, B04 35
14/15: FCB 52, WOB 44, BMG 36
13/14: FCB 59, B04 43, BVB 42
12/13: FCB 54, BVB 39, B04 38
Never was the second team that weak before in German history. Bayern's season before Jupp did not run flawless. The problem is that the teams behind Bayern do not distance them from the rest of the pack even if they got far more money from the others.
