According to German Sky Sports, German legend Dietmar Hamann discussed Borussia Dortmund's transfer strategy, Said-Marah's contract extension at FC Cologne, the massive financial influx in the Premier League, and Bayern Munich's transfer window in an interview.

On Borussia Dortmund's recruitment of many young players

Hamann said: "When you bring in so many young players, you naturally need some experienced players to lead them. That's why Anton, Schlotterbeck, and Nmecha all naturally carry a heavy responsibility, even though Nmecha himself is still relatively young. Guirassy also has to step up differently now that he's been replaced. He has to be a role model so the young players will follow them. This transfer, Ethan Nwaneri's transfer, might not have happened at all if Youssoufa Moukoko hadn't suffered that serious injury. This is a fantastic transfer for both the player and the club.

Borussia Dortmund has always been known for developing young talent, particularly young English players, and they hope to help these players reach a new level. I'm very much looking forward to seeing this young player perform. I think he's made a very good decision, and so has Borussia Dortmund."

On Said-Marah's contract extension at FC Cologne

Hamann said: "He scored in his first match, which is of course a very good sign. People are always looking for the next Podolski, and now everyone hopes they've found someone like that.

Of course, one day he'll want to compete for championships. But for the city and club, his decision to stay is a fantastic sign. I would love to see him join Borussia Dortmund one day. He's a player who should be playing in the World Cup and should now be getting into Germany's national team. I don't think there are many players with his quality in German football. However, for FC Cologne, extending his contract is a very important deal. It will pay off, and he will help FC Cologne stay in the Bundesliga."

On the massive financial influx in the Premier League

Hamann said: "All clubs operate at a loss. Financial Fair Play has been introduced, and some clubs have indeed been punished for it. But when I look at what Liverpool or Chelsea are doing, it's like the Wild West, and it's unfair. If you want real competition, then you have to, in some way, guarantee equal opportunities. If you can't, then we can say: 'You play your way, we play ours.' But if this continues, one day we might not even need to play in the Champions League anymore.

If English clubs have a funding gap of £100 million, £200 million, or even £300 million, and their owners can fill that gap, but this can't be done in Germany, then we can't compete in the same competition. At that point, we have to think about what to do in the future. Given what England is doing now and the scale of money flowing there, other European teams have actually performed quite well."

On Bayern Munich's transfer window

Hamann said: "They came very close last season. If you have a team that can reach the semi-finals in Europe, of course it's very difficult to further strengthen that team. Their squad is indeed a bit thin. The team has promoted some young players, and if you want to improve the starting eleven's strength, you naturally have to spend a lot of money. However, compared to England, their investment is still entirely within reasonable limits.

Both Nathaniel Brown and Xavi Simons have the potential to become starters. The team also let go of players they wanted to let go of. If you have a large squad, you have to keep all players happy."
