Problem with Nagelsmann could be his young age and lack of professional football experience as player. Neuer, Lewa, Thomas Muller, Javi Martinez are his age average. I presume board and players gave their OK for this move, but at first crisis things could turn ugly.

I guess Leipzig got a bit too close for comfort this season, time for Bayern to do their thing, weaken their closest challenger.

Dortmund also poached Marco Rose from Gladbach and derailed their season.

And then Gladbach poached Adi Hutter from Eintracht Frankfurt just four days before they've played them in the league and Gladbach won that game 4-0. A week later Frankfurt also lost against Bayer Leverkusen and are now just a point clear off Dortmund (they were 7 points ahead not long ago) for the last CL spot.

Yep.

So all the BuLi teams do this to each other. Bayern obviously being the by far biggest catches the most heat, but if the argument is letting German talent go abroad instead of Bayern or Dortmund just for the sake of it then it's a poor argument.

The likes of Leipzig and Dortmund not wanting to use more money to compete for titles and push Bayern is the reason they're still easily ruling that league. As long as these two clubs are content poaching talent from various academies around Europe to develop and sell them for high fees instead of using more money and offering higher salaries for better and more experienced players to push for a title, nothing will happen and they can only blame themselves there.

Atletico despite choking are at least *trying* to get better so they can serious compete for and possibly win major titles.

Leipzig and BVB are not.
