Money talks and I think if manu had as much as City seem to have then they would buy the best players as well.

Don't forget that they have 'bought' the league over the years as well. £30m+ for Ferdinand, Rooney wasn't cheap and there are many others (Berba is one) that cost them a lot of dosh. It's only the last couple of seasons that they have been unable to splash out for the really big players - 'cause they are so much in debt I don't think Young was a bargain bucket buy though was he?

can you tell us how they bought the league with the players beckham, giggs, scholes, butt, neville brothers etc Stoop?

Good point Des, if Manu had consistently brought through top class young players rather than pay top dollar for 'complete' players, including youngsters, in the 20 years or so since that crop of great young players came though.....

Chelsea are the third highest point scorers in the Premier League history behind man u and Arsenal, if any teams are to make the step up to compete with these two and they have the opportunity they have to spend big to catch up which they have done, my guess is Chelsea will not buy again this year but Man U may have to as will Arsenal.

Abramovich took over Chelsea in June 2003,who had already finished 3rd in the league, nearly eight and a half years ago Des, so it wasn't 'all at once'
