Erling Haaland and the Bundesliga Tax



Try The Athletic for FREE for 30 days:

When Jadon Sancho played his last season at Borussia Dortmund his statistics were up there with the best in Europe, but in his debut season at Manchester United his numbers have been anything but…

And he’s not alone, most stars of the Bundesliga fail to reach the same highs when they play in the Premier League. This drop off is known as the Bundesliga Tax.

Why does it happen? Is the Bundesliga alone?

Jon Mackenzie explains, Henry Cooke illustrates.

    You have to consider that most players from the Bundesliga come from great seasons at successful teams. The teams they are transferred to in the premier league are rarely as successful. Jadon sancho for example played for the vice champion in Dortmund and then went to a struggling Manchester Utd.

    I'd be very interested to see this broken down how much performance variance there is when a player moves to a league in a country whose language they do not yet speak, as opposed to moving to one where they can speak fluently from day 1. I bet the isolation and confusion of not being able to easily communicate with teammates and coaches would likely be correlated to poorer performances.

    No mention of teams tactics playing a part in the down tick in performance like Werner and Lukaku being used as target men despite being very much not target men

    So poorly managed PL clubs who doesn't care much about the player and pushing him in another situation on the pitch is the problem. M.united thing is another side of problem – what to expect form new player in such a mess?

    Doesn't make sense at all.. Because both the factors.. Team success and age are the same for Timo werner and Kai havertz but they have underperformed.

    City's last 3 Bundesliga signings: De Bruyne, Gundogan, Sané. They don't know what the Bundesliga tax is

  11. Avatar de Adrian McDonagh

    Haaland is going to score 30 goals sancho was never that good

    Ofc Sancho's stats are dropping like crazy when moving from being an undisputed starter at the 2nd best team in the league to a bench warmer for a mid table tier team in another league.

    Havertz hasn't been disappointing…..have you been watching any football????

    This is obviously a narrative been pushed… Usually most players have a drop off when they have to relocate to somewhere that's new (look at Messi at PSG). This phenomenon should be called the Transfer Tax.

    I didn't knew Aston Villa was a Bundesliga team that explains a lot about that 100M signing!

  16. Avatar de Bart

    even as a roy keane fan, i am happy to see a Haaland in the PL again !!

  17. Avatar de Dark Invader

    Would you make videos on coutinho or hazard who declined massively when coming to laliga or you so called analysts are clearly biased towards pl

    This has to be one of the most redundant videos ever made in the history of everything

    Worst video from yall

  20. Avatar de dripking 12

    can you guys make a video about nkunku i feel like he’s going to be one of the best attackers this season

  21. Avatar de A S

    A video of 5:24 to be told he is more likely to be like De Bruyne than Sancho…KMT

    This man has a career for a having a beautiful voice

  23. Avatar de Tyler XL

    Think it’s too early to write Sancho off

  24. Avatar de Richard Duinmaijer

    Bruyne is definitely overrated

  25. Avatar de CYMotorsport

    This seems cynically rooted and statistically dubious. It violates confirmation bias egregiously. What is the longitudinal evidence here? The sample size is quite large. Has anyone confirmed this statistical correlation? It’s less than a days worth of effort. Man city in particular have “trend breakers”. This seems like an odd formula only one side of the table came up with.

    so hows the Bundesliga tax on Son Heung Min & Kevin De Bruyne?
