• WHAT ULI HOENESS SAID

  In a chat with , Hoeness was asked if the English attacker was worth £100m, to which the Bayern chief said: "Luca Toni as world champion or Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben were similar transfers, as was Oliver Kahn. Giovane Elber suited us wonderfully, as did Bixente Lizarazu, Manuel Neuer has to be mentioned, and Joshua Kimmich came young and developed wonderfully. I could name a few more, and Harry is definitely one of the big names.

  "He is a great character, a great player. It speaks for the German record champions that such personalities find a home at FC Bayern,. Ultimately, it makes no difference that he is definitely the most expensive purchase in the club's history. He is worth every euro."
