Mancunium said:In 1986 AC Milan were bankrupt and fighting every year over relegation. Then Berlusconi came to the rescue by spending hismillions, he went on to win leagues and trophies, no one dared say anything. Actually, they thought he was a "winner".
Something similar happened to Inter Milan with a new rich owner, Moratti, in the mid 90s (spent millions, with very few results, showing everybody not only do you need money but you have to know how to spend it).
Then we could talk about Chelsea before we talk about City. And then PSG or Monaco...
The truth is that everyone who slags us off is purely, simply envious.

Mate, if he doesn't go, wears the shirt when they win or City lose etc, then he aint worth argueing with!
My dad once told me "Never argue with an idiot...he'll drag you down to he's level then, beat you on experiance!!" ;-)

mikraphone said:I've just done a quick calculation with the link below on the Veron and Ferdinand transfers, for approximately £30m each around the same time.
Taking into consideration inflation, that amounts to about £84m - allow me to emphasis :two players for £84. And we're getting grief for having spent approx. £80m for 4 class players.
There are so many ways you can analyse the rag's spending, and it'll only equate to what we've done or worse.
I think also we should consider the £80m crazy bid for Ronaldo, which would skew some of the stats somewhat. Ronaldo is undoubtedly a quality player, but with Madrid ready to spunk money through every orifice, United were able to inflate the price somewhat - that rise from the previous highest world transfer is not proportional. So in that respects, Madrid basically just fed money into United.
