Remember all those on here saying how City would 'win the PL easily this year'? (Batmanu & Bubbles specifically)

Not many straws left for the Chelsea fans to clutch onto I see

Still fully expect United to go further than Chelsea and Arsenal in all competitions

Because after all, United and City are superior teams to any London clubs!

If you find that interesting then I imagine your parents didn't have much trouble keeping you quiet on Christmas Day when the grown ups were talking.

City, the Barcelona of the Prem At home to Stoke maybe.

Imagine if Fergie could buy the players Man City have bought. Utd would be on 54 points by now.

If Fergie can outwit a team costing over £500 million, that will be amongst his finest achievements.

So Ferguson is limited by finances, make your minds up...

Man City - the Barca of the PL who play the best football the world has ever seen

--------------

Then surely Barca are the City of La Liga?

Bubbly I actually wrote an article with those comments in it so didn't have to go far

I was also WUMming by the way when I said Cíteh would walk it. I've been saying all season United would win the league.

United's current squad cost roughly £290 million to build...City's cost roughly £340 million.

You make it sound as if United have built their squad for nothing...

I didn't realise that City could field every player they've ever bought at the same time.

It's called squad depth Boris.

Nasri doesn't play often, but your squad is still stronger with such an expensive player avaliable. So it's very important to include back-up players when assessing the squad.

posted on 27/12/11

So, you think our squad cost £500m.

posted on 27/12/11

Did City's current squad cost £500m?

posted on 27/12/11

That means we paid an average of £20m a player. Didn't realise the likes of Kompany, Zab, Hart, Onouah, Richards, Hargreaves, Johnson, Clichy, Razak etc were so expensive.

City have on average spent so much money opposition managers and fans think they only spent £200-£300m but in fact they spent over £500m and over a net spend over £400m.

Safe to say this spending will not happen again at any club, I thought it would be hard to eclipse abramovich first 3 years but city manager to eclipse those 3 years + make anzhi machala and psg and malaga spending look so small they spend this every transfer window for these clubs combined..

I knew we should have been quiet talking about transfers, here he is, Mr Buzz Killington.

It's interesting that City's strongest XI only costs about 25m more than United's. And here was I thinking that you'd got all your players for free...

posted on 27/12/11

Man utd have only bought 3 players above £20m, city have bought 11 which average at around £25m each.

-----------------------------------

No, maybe not quite. But you've paid loads of money for flops as well, you can't just dismiss those. Being able to write off flops like Santa Cruz and Jo is another unique advantage you have.

In contrast United suffered when we signed Veron and he failed to perform, because we can't simply buy another £30 million player and hope he does better.

All part of operating as a business
