The hatred of Guardiola is making otherwise smart people sound foolish.

Cantona was signed for 1.2M that was at the time the highest spent on a player by an English club was probably about 1.5M

How was that peanut in that age. Thats like saying a man earning N2,000 in 1965 was earning peanuts when the highest earner earned just N3,000
Don't let your idolatory of Pep make you sound foolish. The highest spent for a player then was 5.5m Gazza followed by 3.6m Shearer.
So when Cantona was bought for 1.2m, there were English players going for 5.5m, 3.6m.

In that Cantona transfer period while Cantona was bought for 1.2m, the following players were bought for more money, Shearer, David Rocastle (midfielder), Martin Keown (defender). Martin Keown with his bushy eyes cost more than Cantona, Dean Saunders, Paul Stewart (midfielder), Darren Anderton, Stuart Ripley (midfielder). Yes Stuart Ripley cost more than Cantona.
Dayo stop associating with amoeba, you need to educate yourself.

In Fergies' first EPL season he had only 1 player in the top 10 transfers and that was Cantona and in his 2nd season only Keane in the top 10.

Pep had 2 players in the top 10 in his first season and 3 the next season.

Furthermore Pep spent more than all his rivals his first 2 seasons, whereas Fergie did not outspend all other clubs for almost a decade.

It is very illogical and ridiculous to compare those Fergie seasons to what Pep is doing now.

Bro, don't you see what is going on?

It is now convenient to call on a so-called 30 point lead when it is obvious Pep going to be kicked out from the Champions League in the Quarter finals for the second year in a row

Previously ,the Premier League wasn't priority.

Its only reasonable to compare the highest in one time to the highest in this time.

Manchester United under Ferguson was one of the biggest spender in the league and this can be shown by the numerous transfer records they broke


From relaxer to record are you now a DJ?

In 2016/17 season Pep was the biggest spender, in the 2017/2018 season Pep was the biggest spender. In the league for 2 seasons, biggest spender in each of the 2 seasons.

doctor, you be sharp mouthed fellow.

See admonishments.

That aside, let them counter the facts you have put on ground instead of telling lies to defend their god.

Their agenda is clear: since they can't defend Pep, it is to make Ferguson look equally bad. How sensible that is, I still can't understand because like you pointed out earlier, Fergie's first title dominating sides were built on youth and home grown players.

relative peanuts.

Cantona cost Ferguson 1.8m or so that year. That was the 10th most expensive transfer of the season. That's like saying Kyle Walker was signed for relative peanuts.

Roy Keane that is also listed as a relative peanuts was signed by Ferguson for a British Transfer record. Which means that no other player in the history of the UK had ever cost that much.

relative peanuts

Teddy Sherringham was the 8th most expensive transfer in the league when Ferguson signed him on a 20k per week contract for 3 years. He was 31.

I could go on and on.


I don't think you did your research before posting this, cos this is a massive gaffe.

The other obvious problem aside the 'relative peanuts' misstep is, you haven't considered how many other clubs in the league even had a starting eleven that could boast at least 4 of the names you casually mentioned there.

How many Solkjaer were knocking about in the league? Fück it, how many Ji sung parks?

PDP was the first PEP.. Easily.
There is a difference between having experience of that era and reading about it later.

Your twisted perspective comes from viewing Cantona transfer through the lens of todays desperation where a desperate club might pay £200m for Neymar (which makes £50m for Kyle Walker look relatively cheap) . . . and lead you to compare Cantona transfer to Kyle Walker.

You are even comparing worldwide to equate Cantona to Walker which is nonsense. In 1992 Lentini, Vialli and Papin were signed for upwards of 10m in Serie A. Intermilan also bought players in that price range. And you are busy comparing 1.8m for Cantona to that. You would have to compute about 30 transfers made in Serie A first before you start to think of British transfers. So no, Cantona was no Kyle Walker. He was more like Mario Lemina. That should give you some perspective first and foremost.

Then if you need better perspective, consider within Britain that Chelsea paid 3m for Robert Fleck, Arsenal paid the same 3m for Martin Keown, Leeds 3m for Rocastle, Man City 3m for Terry Phelan, Villa 3m for Dean Saunders, Blackburn 2m for Stuart Ripley, even 2m for phucking Kevin Gallacher. . . . you will see that you have goofed strongly comparing Cantona transfer to Kyle Walker. That was a peanut sum for that level of player and was a giveaway from Leeds who wanted Cantona off their books due to his attitude.

There is difference between real life experience and Wikipedia extrapolations and assumptions. Don't goof like the erudite trying to do Mathematics ontop football. Those who were around that era know where to place Cantona, it was a middling signing for peanuts and cannot make the top 30 worldwide signings of that year.

All you need to know about Roy Keane transfer fee of £3.75m is that Daniel Amokachi moved for not too dissimilar amount 12 months later. British transfer market has always been a conservative one where transfer prices move up by a couple of grand each year in the early 1990s. Roy Keane fee will not enter top 50 worldwide transfers to that date and was not dissimilar to what other EPL clubs were paying at the time.

Again why would Ferguson need to spend heavily in just two seasons when the best players in the EPL for an entire decade were already on his payroll?


for example, this is the Mirrors EPL team of the 90s.

6 of the players played for PDP and he desperately tried to sign Shearer too.

of the remaining players in this pic. 3 played for Arsenal. 1 for Blackburn/Newcastle. 1 for Chelsea

No other team is represented.

And all those players, Ferguson signed all of them. Every single one.

So you already had the best team in the league as at January 1st 2000, and then in 2001 Ferguson was back at it again breaking club, British and World transfer records
