Makaay was asked why he left Bayern. He said:
"Some people say I am afraid of too much competition! This is not the case! I have never been afraid and I will never be afraid of competition. But I am long enough in this business to know how things run. If the club buys two big names like Toni and Klose, they will have to play and I don't want the fans to think: 'look at Makaay, he is not doing anything but filling up his pockets!'"
When he was asked why he didn't move to Bremen since they made a top offer for him, he said: "My love for Bayern is too big to play for another German side!"
Once again, this guy impressed me. I think he was the unluckiest striker in the history of the Netherlands since he had to play at the same time with RUUD. The difference between the two of them is minimal and there were years when Roy was definitely better. They were always my favorite two strikers. Beasts, with an instinct for goal. Now reading Roy's words I can only once again say THANKS for 4 great years and wish him all the best at Feyenord. I'll definitely be supporting that team next season. As Uli Hoeness put it: "Roy was a great personality on the pitch and outside the pitch!"
