Bayern's transfer policy isn't just about getting the best players in the German league, it's about hitting its rivals where it hurts the most. Look at the Götze transfer during the Champions League run in. Bayreuth put it out to the media that they were after him in the summer, because they wanted to unsettle Dortmund and Götze. It was the biggest issue with the team leading up to the Champions League final in which he didn't even play. Personally, I find it disgraceful.
