What amuses me is the notion that we've just come along with enormous wealth and blown everyone out of the water with bids and wages for megastars. Apart from the early dizziness of Robinho, Berbatov and Kaka, all our signings have been fairly modest (relatively speaking) and most could have been achievable for top 6 PL teams. KdB and Sane were obviously high profile in the Bundesliga but not huge here; we pissed on Bayern rags' chips by getting those 2 instead of them going there for peanuts - I suspect der spiegel is the German equivalent of our mirror i.e. a scum / dipper fanzine but for Bayern instead, that's why they are on a mission.
