Charlatottie, you're not going to be champions this year (which is ace). It seems £200 odd million is not enough to garuntee success.

Yeah Man Utd never spent any money at all..,.

Rooney 20 million
Ferdinand 28 Million
Vidic 5 million?
Saha 11 Million?
Carrick 18 Million

God it must be hard on the poverty line.

Gas man, two things..... firstly ..................20 million + 28 million + 5 million + 11 million + 18 million does not even equal 100 million, so not sure what your point is there.

Secondly I wasn't saying Chelsea were the only culprits.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

I assume united also have more than 5 players?

[Ballbag]

You assume correct Gassy, you obvously follow football, of some sort.

I was referring to the recent spending of Chelsea vs any other club.................. I think you'll find it's astronomical.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

It depends how far you want to go back. I bet since 2000 both Man Utd and Chelsea have spent a similar amount of money.

[Quincy]

yep. veron, van nistelrooy, saha all spring to mind straight away. them 3 combined probably cost around the 80million mark?

[Ballbag]

Oh I have no doubt that you two are right (and I am in no way shape or form defending Man Utd) but that was over a prolongued period, not in one massive go like Chelsea.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

but the point is you buy until you have a good enough team. chelsea had to spend over a short period because a few years ago they had crap like Mark Stein and Furlong playing for them.

The RS have spent a fortune too.

I skipped straight from post 1 to this so sorry if i'm covering old ground, but the parody is shite.

All parodies are. (2001 onwards)

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

Nah some of Moyles are quite good. The Hearsay one was good.
