Transfer Fees adjusted for today's prices

What I notice is that United are on the first two pages of that six times, we are on it once. Was there outrage and wailing and gnashing of teeth for any of those six times, in the media, or even among rival supporters? About how they were establishing a stranglehold and ruining English football by simply cherry picking everything in sight? That's not the way I remember it. I just remember rah-rah cheerleading in the media, along the lines of “good old United, good old Sir Alex, how right that they should be back where they belong finally!” and a sort of air of pissed-off resignation amongst other clubs' supporters. Tell me if I'm wrong, but that's the way I remember the nineties and noughties.

Yep, for them it was all fanfare and excitement; for us it's all funfair and excrement!

I don't think it was quite such a love in -United were hated by most supporters - ABU didn't come just from paranoia.

However, I do remember being amused by the fanfare over Javier Hernandez being less than £10m and how "transfer genius" Ferguson had proved there were bargains about if you were clever enough to look. Shame it took him 25 years of breaking transfer records before he started looking.

Mate any idea how they do this? Is it normalised by the highest revenue of any club at that time, or an average of revenue over top 10 clubs for each year?
 
They have initial transfer fees for KDB and Sterling wrong.

KDB was 55 and sterling 44+5.

Boring fact : Looks like this site has got the fees from Transfer Mrkt and in the summer of 2015 the £ was strong against the € when they converted into euros. At a later date when TM updated prices into £ the exchange rate was totally different and it inflated the £ prices on the site and they've stuck with them.

What that proves beyond all doubt is that Real Madrid totally fucked football economics.
With Italian clubs not far behind.

And they are pretty well near the front of the queue pointing the finger at MCFC. Wonder what Ebenezer Wenger thinks of the Arse's latest £50m acquisition. I wonder if he files it under 'sportswashing'?

Funnily enough Dubai and not Abu Dhabi pump far more money into the European game with Emirates sponsorship of multiple teams. He was v v proud of his Emirates stadium as well :)

All of those fees are inflated anyway.
Robinho did NOT cost £39M.

Sterling's fee inflated by £13M, de Bruyne by £13M, Otamendi by £10M, Sané by £8M, Fernandinho by £6M.
The likes of Jo, Adebayor, Balotelli, Silva and Mahrez are a couple of million out.

You can't adjust fees for inflation when you don't get the original fee anywhere near correct.
