Rooney £30m, Berbatov £30.9m, Hernandez £7m, Ferdinand £25m, De Gea £18m, Young £20m, Valencia £18m, Nani £17m. Phil jones 18 m

But City bought the league??

Yeye dey smell

4llerbuntu: when Alex Ferguson and coogar says Man City have bought the title pls note:

Cost of starting City team = £161m. Cost of starting United team = £169m. #MCFC #MUFC

Aguero - £38m, Tevez - £30m(?), Silva - £24m, Nasri - £24m, Yaya - £24m, Lescott - £22m etc.

I seriously doubt United's starting eleven cost more.

you omitted dzeko - £27m, kolarov - £17m, milner - £26m.

30m in 2004 for Rooney , 27m for Ferdinand almost 10yrs ago what would be their worth in 2011

dayokanu: 30m in 2004 for Rooney , 27m for Ferdinand almost 10yrs ago what would be their worth in 2011

And if you were a gaffer, would u pay 27m for Ferdinand in 2011?

dayokanu: 30m in 2004 for Rooney , 27m for Ferdinand almost 10yrs ago what would be their worth in 2011

yeah - compare that to city's firepower in the last 3 yrs.

£47m - tevez
£38m - aguero
£27m - dzeko
£26m - milner
£22m - nasri
£25m - adebayor
£25m - silva
£24m - yaya toure

i would leave out lescott(£22m) and adebayor(£25m) out of this debate not
to cause further embarrassment for you.

dayokanu, you embarrass yourself when u had to dig out rio's acquisition of 10 yrs ago.
how many titles have united won since 2002 for rio ferdinand's contract to be relevant in
this debate.

ogbeche77:

dayokanu would......brainless nazi.

The fact here is the time value of money.

Alan Shearer was bought for 15m, To buy a striker of Shearers quality now wont cost you 15m.

ogbeche77:

The person who paid 50m for Torres and 35m for Carroll in 2011 is what? Gaffu?

dayokanu: The fact here is the time value of money.

papiss cisse and demba ba disagree with you.
i would add chicharito as well. fecking hell, how much did
barcelona pay to get messi? £500 billion?

next?

4llerbuntu: Rooney £30m, Berbatov £30.9m, Hernandez £14m, Ferdinand £25m, De Gea £18m, Young £20m, Valencia £18m, Nani £17m. But City bought the league??

Yeye dey smell

this is why one should not be named 4llerbuntu.
chicharito bought for £14m?

city bought the league cos of what they have
spent in the last 3 seasons they have had the
sheikh.

2009 - £127.8m
2010 - £125.0m
2011 - £154.0m
2012 - £76.0m.

not even real madrid/barcelona spend this much season in season out.

coogar:

Messi came through the ranks and wouldnt make sense to compare someone him, Messis value would be at least comparable with Ronaldos which was 94m at last transfer.

I am not sure any of Demba ba, Chicharitio etc had Shearers quality

Euro 96 Golden Boot Winner (five goals)
UEFA Cup top scorer: 2003–04, 2004–05
FIFA World Player of the Year – Bronze award: 1996
Ballon d'Or – Bronze award: 1996
Highest-ever Premier League goalscorer: 260 goals
Premier League Golden Boot: 1994–95, 1995–96, 1996–97

dayokanu:

why won't we compare someone like him to shearer?
are you saying when talents are spotted at an early age and groomed
like welbeck, it doesn't count?

I am not sure any of Demba ba, Chicharitio etc had Shearers quality

shearer's quality? that was the same shearer who had played 9
seasons in the top division in england before he was bought for £15m?
dayokanu is comparing shearer(19 seasons) to cisse who hasn't even finished
a full season in terms of quality. you should donate your brains to silverback
apes!

When did Hernandez cost 14 mill. Haba peeps shouldn't just pluck figures out of the air.

montelik: When did Hernandez cost 14 mill. Haba peeps shouldn't just pluck figures out of the air.

chicharito - £7m
hernandez - £7m.
total - £14m.

4llerbuntu is a genius.

Lolz...Still waiting for the day Hernandez will feature, So we bought a player twice, scouts scammed Fergie, no wonder he had to fly to Germany yesterday to watch Kagawa himself... So we won't be buying a Shinji and a Kagawa seperately...
And who is 4llerbuntu?

@starboard...u r wat? a DUNDERHEAD! whats with this starboard guy? i tried to keep it civil but its obvious u have baboon's balls in ur skull and lack d mental capacity for reasonable discourse.so by your i.d.i.o.t.i.c theory d liverpool of today is stronger than d arsenal of 04-06? i was talking about d 2000s and i said Arsenal n Chelsea were rivals then and u said(in dimwitted fashion)that arsenal was OUR ONLY rival in dt era(backing up ur asinine statement wit d 05-06 table).did i say 2000s or 05-06? So u chose to ignore other seasons in dt era n went for d one dt backs up...can u see why u r a GOLLUM? when did mourinho lead chelsea to back to back titles? was it not in d 2000s? were they not our rivals then? in d country of m.o.r.o.n.s u would be Emperor! ur functional brain mass is less than the mass of a quark!

and you call yourself a fan? you have been negative from the get go! d team got 89 points! this would win d league in most seasons,give them some credit!...but no you have to be tuba blowing on mancini's dick like a fairy! your sort of fan is what blackburn is blessed with.
just cos u r angry/disappointed u sent your quark weighing brain on compulsory leave and are spewing rubbish.
Rily thot u were sensible,didnt know u were senseless.ciao

I disagree with people that say "City deserved to win". . .UTD deserved it more - with a squad many have labelled as the 'poorest' UTD side in EPL history; should we still even be in with a shout in the dying minutes of the last games of the season!!?

the "poorest" United side in EPL history copped 89points and lost in d last 2mins of d 38 game season to a team built with megapounds over a few years! and some say the team and d manager don't deserve some credit?

You shoulda been aborted, you bedroom mistake.
That's all I'll say to you.
Your IQ must be in the region of seminal spurts when copulating, so it was a mistake jawing with you.

just let it be. the better team won.

Shouldnt you be out celebrating another teams' title win?

If we had done things a bit differently. . .

mbulela: just let it be. the better team won.

Not so sure. . .but they won. . .

Yeah, I believe the better team won. We may have finished level on points but the rules are set before the start of every season.

Best team - Team with most points ( at the end of the season), if more than one end up on same number of points then Team with best Goal difference wins.

I think we did pretty well. To lose the league while it was on GD is still an achievement to get 89 points. that has been good enough to win the title 15 out of the last 20 years. If people think this spells the end of man utd then they write Fergie off at their own peril.

Dramawise, probably the best season I've ever witnessed. Too bad we came out on the wrong side of it but we certainly have had our fair share of that type of success over the years.

Im just intrigued to see the response in the summer.

Err...

Ruud Van Nistelrooy to announce his retirement today. One of the best finishers in the premier league and probably the best within the 18 yard box.

Its been an interesting season in the EPL for Man-U, I wouldnt say they are the poorest United side ever to be seen, but I would gracefully say Citeh deserved the league just for 1 major reason: United were beaten home and away by citeh.Chikenah!

Comes across as a nice chap with a good head.

What are you not sure of?
City are a better team than united. even fergie acknowledged it with that schizophrenic line up he chose at Etihad.
