The management of the Stuttgart club are not fighting for the title, they are fighting to stay in the Bundesliga and whenever they have any chance of making a profit by selling players,
What Stuttgart achieved last season certainly indirectly made their players attractive from other teams for recruitment, in fact, what you say makes sense if we look at the finances that Stuttgart currently has, but sometimes small teams like Stuttgart don't have the ability to continue to keep their best players in the team forever, because after all the demands for large salaries and bonuses along with the increasing performance shown by these players will make the club think twice about trying to keep them in the squad, besides that, most teams like Stuttgart often do not protect their players with high release clauses so that it is easy for big teams to redeem these players, as happened with Guirassy who was acquired by Dortmund for only 18 million euros, isn't that value quite cheap if we look at his ability to score 30 goals in a one season?
Trust me that is not true , if they have the chance to get the title they would be fight for it , but they cant afford the money to hold that players.
If there was enough money i guess most of the players would stay in Stuttgart.
But i dosnt look good for them as Waldemar Anton und Serhou Guirassy already gone to Dortmund.
There are rumors that Pascal Groß also wants to join Dortmund.
I think that the next season will be more exciting as the last one was already.
We cannot hope that Stuttgart will be able to repeat what they did last season, because one by one their star players have left and chosen to join other teams, the conditions that occur in Stuttgart are actually something that usually happens to mediocre teams in the European leagues so far, apart from the lack of money to retain players, these clubs are often only used as ladders by players to be able to play at better clubs and most of them think about taking the existing opportunities to get a better career with big clubs in the future, so it is not surprising for us to see an exodus of players often occurring in teams that have no guarantee of continuing to compete at the top level every season.
