NB EDIT: Mario Balotelli is a footballer for Man city, and is famous not for his skills on the pitch, but for this.

About time someone made a thread about Super Mario, he's a comic genius.

Sorry, the above didn't quite copy and paste properly. Since the Premiership began Man U have spent over £483 million on players.
Only 3 clubs have spent more. Chelsea,Liverpool and Man City.
Here is the link.

Mario Bibotelli

Thanks for the link makes interesting reading, can't believe Liverpool have spent so much money on distinctly average players...and Arsenal have recuperated nearly all of the money they have spent on transfers £700+ and £650+ million for Chelsea and City is just ridiculous though

£4.5 mil for Taibi has to be the biggest waste of money ever lol

As for Balotelli...


lol

28 million for Veron was a shocker too but surely 35 million for Carroll will prove to be worst bit of business ever!!!

there are so many....50 for Torres, 20 for Downing, the countless amount of times Heskey has been sold for over 5 million (by countless i mean i couldn't be bothered to count) 17 for Aquilani 19 for Robbie Keane, do Liverpool not like money?

lol forgot Carroll cost so much, although he did set up Bellamy in their 3-1 loss to Bolton at the weekend, and judging by his performances so far this season that assist is worth about 12 million pounds

the 5 min scroll down post? whats all that about?

If you bothered to look gaz I said it didn't paste properly in the post below it and posted the link...BUT...what it's actually about is making nonsense of your claim that Manure train up and build all their teams. They have bought success as much as any other team.

rarely the money is wasted though, just ignore veron. 12 million was it for ronaldo?

and we got our money back for veron!

A salary cap is the answer.

Veron...bought for 28 mill and sold for 15. Money back?

that was the nominal sum, with add ons, it came to 26,500,000

why? they're offered ridiculous wages, if you were offered 300,000 a week, would you take it? providingits pounds and not zimbabwean currency, of course

Would I what. My comment was tongue in cheek mate. Good luck to any one who can get that sort of money, be it Uk pounds, US dollars or Vietnamese dong.

All clubs make dodgy signings it's true.
Fergie has made enough of them though.

Taibi
Djemba Djemba
De Gea
Obertan
Berbatov
Tosic
Anderson
Hargreaves
Bellion
Forlan
Carroll
Bartez

That little lot amounts to £124 million....

yes, the amount of 3-5 man city players
