Pls with tables, diagrams and examples where appropriate, explain the boldened part....

Before the sugar daddies, United and Arsenal were the biggest deals then. The most expensive players we had bought was Fredinand. Most of our players were from our youth setup. Same with Arsenal. B4 the era of the sugar daddies, we always did our talking on the pitch, winnnig games and titles. So i dont get how people always think we bought the EPL wit money

Ferdinand was a record breaking transfer at 20 something million.

Guess why.

Why?? Because we played better than any other team on the pitch and we also enjoyed the benefits that came with those winnings. And so we was able to sign him at that fee.

Lool! As at that time, Ferdinand is/was the only record breaking signing on this list. All the other players could easily ve been affordable by any other of the top EPL teams(Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle, Leeds and even Chelsea) then. But my own point is United's wealth has come from our success on the pitch and sponsorship. Not even the Glazers ve one kobo in all that money

example

"Signing Gary Pallister was considered a risk in 1989. He was overpriced for a defender and looked too lightweight to survive at the very top. Pallister was playing non-league football for Billingham Town at the age of 19, but by the time he was 24 he had become the most expensive defender in English football."

Would you like to confirm the rest too?

The simple answer is that nobody else in the UK had ever paid so much for a defender, hence it was a 'record transfer' grin


Roy Keane's transfer to Manyoo was a British record at only 3 million
Jaap Stam was the most expensive defender in history when Manyoo signed him...only 10 million
Dwight Yorke was Manyoo's most expensive player when he signed at only 12 million
Ruud became Manyoo's record transfer again at only 19 million

Look at the fees that were setting records, and then you will understand what kind of moinmoin budget everybody else was operating on.

To catch up you had to spend big money....That's what the sugar daddies did, that's what Arsene is doing now.

You can't fight money on the pitch.

You fight money with money. quid pro quo

Those are United's record signings. Not EPL record signing. And numbers 8, 9 & 10 dont count as this arguement is based on transfers before the sugar daddies era.

Or u want mke we start to list Chelsea's record signings??

3 million, 12 million, 10 million?? U want to tell only United could ve afforded those players? Wat abt Arsenal? Kanu, Viera, Pires, etc...
Or Liverpool?? Stop making it sound like United was the only club dat had money. Yes we was(and still are) the wealthiest English club but other clubs could ve afforded other players in those price ranges. But instead the settled for mediocre players and allowed United to gain momentum and become one of the best clubs to ve graced the EPL....

You are missing the point.

If 3 million pounds was British record in the mid 90s, it clearly shows who the dominant force in the transfer market was at the time.

Jaap Stam's transfer was a world record.

Ferdinand was a UK record.

How did you want other clubs to cope, when you were constantly breaking transfer records?

The only way for other clubs to try and cope was to spend too, but nobody else could really keep up.

Leeds tried it and were relegated in 2 years. Arsenal tried for a while, until Abramovic came and upped the Ante.

That led to almost a decade of barrenness for the North London side, and the only clubs that could actually challenge Manyoo's hegemony are the only two clubs that have outspent Manyoo in the history of the league.

@raumdeuter,

lewandowski's agent has been using style to attract bidders for his client. he said if united are going to get lewa, they will pay more than £35m. if we can pay £60m for di maria, lewa is worth at least £70m.....£35m na chicken change.

There is no way Bayern would sell Lewandoski when Schweini has been sold and other attackers are injury prone

Lewy and Muller are the only injury proof attackers we have To sell Lewandoski is to throw in the towel for this season

there are mkhitaryan, adrian ramos, KDB, etc for you guys to bully.

lewandowski will fit like a glove @man utd. he's big, strong & with good foot work. he completely destroyed mascherano with this move.

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Antell95(m): 7:22pm On Jul 14, 2015
Linked with Nicolas Gaitan and Nicolas Otamendi. We only need the latter. But it's Woodward you know. He might get both nicos.
