Erikson's a very different player. He's a playmaker in the Silva/Nasri mould. Shaq is a wide forward/winger who's strong and has electric pace.
A lot of reasons.
First - the Swiss is a country with 3 languages. In the German part they watch German television a lot. Basel is directly on the border to Germany. There is a lot people that e.g. live in the Swiss and work in Germany - or the other way around. The next Bundesliga club Freiburg is just 70 km away. Munich is 350 km away.
So - being a football enthusiastic Shaq certainly grew up with the Bundesliga.
His Ex-coach, his current coach and the coach of the national team all have had long and great times at Bayern. The bosses of both clubs know each other very well - the FCB of the Swiss are in the same position as the FCB of Germany - they are just smaller.
There is no language barrier, he can keep a good connection to his friends and family...
A lot reasons why he goes to Germany - and actually, everybody thought that he somewhen will make exactly that move - Munich is interested since some time and it just was a question when this will be.
You answered why he went to Bayern, but the question was how can they get him for this price ?
Very cheap, he worth at least double the agreed price.
Yes, I think he is cheap for an offensive talent in that age - but apart from the CL games it is the Swiss League and the Swiss national team - and not Bundesliga, Premier League, La Liga...
It is difficult to rate somebody like this. The bookvalue on transfermarkt.de was 12.5 million. He is told to have cost 9 millions plus extras depending on the future success Munich has. Similar to Neuer's transfer fee - he will be more expensive if Bayern wins trophies. (So the Schalke fans should be glad, if Bayern has success ;) )
And you never know if the two clubs did not make deals to work together in other parts, you do not know if Shaq had any special clauses etc.

I do not know. I guess a lot Schalke fans would prefer money and Neuer lifting a trophy in leather pants to Großkotz lifting any trophy... When I read Schalke Forums I always get the impression that there is nothing worse than any success that yellow bees have.
The decision might be pretty close without the money so...
