Shearergol Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Not really no, as much as I hate them Manure aren't just about spending loads of money, they've gotten where they are through a combination of great management (from the team right up to the board) and spending money on the right players, money that's come from being well run in the first place.. Chelsea are just pure money and nothing more, money thrown at them by a billionaire. Plus they've spent far far more in just a few years then Manure have spent in there entire history. I'd love to see the figures backing that up. van Nistelrooy (₤19m), Veron (₤28m), Ferdinand (₤30m) and Rooney (₤27m) Carrick (₤18.6m), Hargreaves (₤16m), Nani (₤14m), Anderson (₤18m), and Kuszczak (₤4m) 9 transfers which already make the claim bollocks. Ronaldo 12m, Tevez?, Vidic 8m, Evra 7mil Yep, keeps going. Dwight Yorke, £12.6m Andy Cole, £7m Jaap Stam, £10.75m Roy Keane, £3.75m (a lot at the time) Gary Pallister, £2.3m (see above) The list goes on and on. The difference is Man United generate a lot of their transfer money (cough *munich* cough) and Chelsea had the investment. Still, the claim that Chelsea have outspent them in history is utter shit.

wacko Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Man Utd and Chelsea pay for squad players what the likes of you and us hope to spend on the odd nailed-on first-teamer, and other clubs can only dream of spending. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
