Occasional signings, bahahhahha.

Van Nistlerooy £19m
Juan Sebastian Veron £28.1 Million
Rio Ferdinand £30m
Diego Forlan £7m
Cristiano Ronaldo £13m
Saha £11.5 million
Alan Smith £8m
Heinze £7m
Carrick £19m
Berbatov £30m
Hargreaves £20m
Nani £20m
Anderson £20m

and about £100m more for various undisclosed amounts and smaller fees

They've easily spent £300m over the last few seasons.

£300m, and they have won everything in sight. How much have Spurs spent to be joint bottom of the EPL?

Manchester United are a club to be admired Smiley

A lot less than £300m and also far less on wages.

Only £13m? Wow.

That is less than Spurs paid for any of Bent, Pavlyuchenko, Modric, Defoe and Bentley.

What a side Man United are!

Most of their squad are youth team graduates?

What fucking decade are you living in?

Who was the last academy graduate that makes the Utd first team regularly?

O'Shea and Fletcher make the bench fairly regularly but before that er........ Wes Brown I think, who is now 29 years old?

It's hardly a fucking production line of talent is it?

Wes Brown, John O'Shea, Darren Fletcher, Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Jonny Evans, Danny Wellbeck.

I suppose alot of those are getting on a bit now but I dont know if you sat down and compared it to any other team would they be any better.

For example Chelsea, after John Terry....

It is a lot harder to get into Man United's starting line up now than it has ever been.

But they still produce: You have got Frazier Campbell at Spurs, who plays semi-regularly, Welbeck has made an impact, and there is another lad on loan at Blackburn.

I'm not sure about the "majority" of Uniteds team being from their yoof system.

In a year or 2's time when Neville, Giggs and Scholes have retired only Evans, Brown and Fletcher will be near their 1st team as things stand and none of them are important players.

And as for occasional signings (!) they've bought Ronaldo, Rooney, Anderson, Nani, Tevez (sort of), Carrick, Hargreaves, Vidic in the last 3 (ish) years by my reckoning.  At a cost of over £100m . All good players apart from Nani though.

Fletcher is a key player for united now, speak to any fan that actually watches them on a regular basis and they will say he is absolutely vital to the way they play, hence why he starts the majority of games

I don't think Manchester United are as strong as they used to be. If any of the other teams up there were as good as they/people say then Manchester United should have never caught up so gosh darn easily.

At this moment I think I dislike Liverpool the most out of the current top 10 Prem clubs.

Dont think they will. Most Manchester United fans hate him with a passion think he's shit and only gets in the team because he's Scottish!!!

I think maybe a few loud Man Utd halfwits think that.  DV I think you maybe guilty of listening to the Thisis equivalent from Old Trafford.  Fletcher plays well for Man Utd, nothing at all to do with him being Scottish.

I dont watch Fletcher enough to form my own opinion but I can assure you that I am not reading the Manchester United version of thisis, for starters some of these fans even go to the games!!
