Do you mind, Rags, Chelsea, Liverpool are allowed to spend millions. If any other team does, it is seen to be buying the league...............

Who fucking cares!! If it pisses the rags off then I say treble our spending next season. Its not like the Sheik is short of a bob or 2 and its not my money so I dont give a fuck! Lets get really obscene and buy Messi for £150m pay him £1m a week and have him selling programs! Lets gold plate the piss stones and serve beluga in the butty vans. We could carpet the walk ways and make all the seats recliners (electric of course). Replace the bog roll with £10 notes and sell crystal champagne in pint pots. Now thats class!

2nd most expensive, Buffon was ~£30m. I also think that De Gea cost £17.8m? So £18m is basically right.


I love pulling this fact out when they harp on about buying the league, they also forget all the ludicrous prices that they paid in the 90's and early 2000's, they might not be equivalent in numbers but at the time the prices they were shelling out for players is similar in accordance to the economy.

Hart cost an initial £600,000 which has since become the full £1.5 million after bonuses I'd imagine.

Point remains though.

You bitter blue barstewards, all our signings were funded by the turnstiles and megastore tills.
