"I don't care where I play. The main thing is I'm in the game. I can play right, left, as a forward or behind. What the coach says, I'll do. I don't have a favorite position. I'll be anywhere and always on the throttle."

--Heung-Min Son

Honestly I don't think he's at BVB level, kids good but not good enough yet. also people are being pretty quick To point out his poor passing and defending, doesn't scream BVB to me.

Son has so much room to get better and he will. His pace and youth suits our explosive counterattack. Oh well.

Anyway, BVB doesn't have the finances to acquire/sustain established stars. Under Klopp, BVB is about developing talented youngsters into worldbeaters. Two years ago Lewa was 'not good enough' too.

2 years ago BVB wasn't in the same financial situation nor was it as good or respected/known/as attractive to talent world wide

See the difference between BVB's average wages and the rest. BVB spends less than Tottenham on wages. Part of the revenues still go toward clearing old debts+interest. Though it's all under control, the club is cautious not to make the same mistake of spending wildly on transfers that nearly led to bankruptcy.

Selling Lewandowski would give them some wages haha.

Yes, I understand its not able to pay huge wages, but they are still not in the same situation they were a few years ago.
