I get that to:

City = 148,250

Utd = 156,000 + whatever Fabio cost.

But don't forget that Rooney, and even more so Ferdinand, were signed a long time ago. Index linked to show the cost at today's prices their price tag would be much higher.

I took the op to mean it was for ammo when it's a 'look at all the money you've spent and where you are versus the pitiful amounts we've spent' argument- you're trying to buy your way to success etc etc. Think he was showing that it's swings and roundabouts. Add the subs on and you've got the nucleus of most teams either of us are going to put out, possibly with the exception of Tevez and Kolo Toure for us, but you've got to have some limit in any argument and I think Bob's saying a reply to their moaning about buying success is to say take the first game of the season, you paid more for your starting 11 than we did?

Is that the crux of it Bob or am I reading it wrong?

You're right.

I wasn't trying to prove that our first 11 cost less than United's, I was trying to prove that we've spent a similar amount of money.

At the time, Anderson and Nani were both about £17-19. Hargreaves was bought at the same time for around the same.

And unless United paid everything up front (which they wouldn't have) or Portuguese clubs accept pound sterling (which they won't), they would have cost significantly more than that
