Our total spend on the top 10 is £150m compared to £212.95m on theirs.
Only 5 of those players are still with us, compared to 8 of theirs.

nice one - so £60m difference - and on top of that they had the likes of giggs/scholes/beckham already in place.

[Fernandinho]

Berbatov was more then both of them but.

[Exiled_red]

I think another big point is that Our most expensive signing (Torres) would only come in at number 5 on their list.

Berbatov was more then both of them but.

tbh i was exited about them both..watching Diouf at WC 2002 and knowing we've already signed him was a fantastic feeling, and Keane i've liked since his Leeds days, but jesus christ what turd they both ended up being

[Fernandinho]

That Zoran Tosic guy would make 7th our list if you are to believe rumours about the cost of his transfer! Utter joke...

Just shows the difference in budgets over the past decade - still players still come to Anfield over the bigger pay days out there - Nando (turned big nose down 3 times) - Cole (plenty were interested on a free for him!)
