Pickford 30 million
Morata 50 million
Sissoko 30 million
Van Dijk 40 million
Walker 45 million
Dier 50 million
The Salah robbery about to happen
The market has finally adjusted to the obscene amounts of money spent by a handful of clubs in recent years. That financial doping has created a market so inflated that Pickford is worth 30 million All paid for in the end by ordinary fans. Not in those cases obviously, in their cases, and only their cases, they are paid for by billionaire owners. But I mean everyone else who has to pay ridiculous fees.
I'd just like to thank United, City and Chelsea for their services to football. Oh and wages too Because you decided to give someone like Rooney 200k a week, now every above average players in the country thinks they are worth it. Good work guys

Don, why oh why are you still arguing this. You don't really need any facts or stats to know that hoody is far, far more likely to be right on this one. We've spent more money than them, we have/had better players therefore we will have had a squad worth more if in not all, nearly every season.
Why is this so important to you? Hoody is more than likely correct.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
actually, he is very likely to be wrong. see my point e) above.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As I said most seasons. There will be the odd one they spent/had more valuable squad, but I'd suspect 90% time we did.

Actually there are three seasons where I am not and I was led to believe otherwise by a newspaper article years ago based on that whole Rafa and Fergie argument.
Still I'm sure Don is not a hypocrite and he can back up his statement otherwise he looks an utter tw@t.
Your turn Don. Btw calling someone angry when your bashing a book away on your keyboard doesn't hold much credence. Still as long as you're not angry.
I find it interesting that my source is inaccurate but yours is gospel. Seems a touch arrogant and as said I'm surprise no-one has picked up on this.
Oh wait.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
so there are three seasons where you are wrong?
so what statement am i supposed to be backing up?
i don't need to check every number to see that your source is completely wrong on keane:
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2009/apr/23/roy-keane-career-highs-lows
so to conclude you read a newspaper article a few years ago - a link to which you have never bothered to provide by the way - and either you or the article were wrong. so i think that settles that, thanks.
is there anything else that needs sorting, or are we done?

agree absolutely.
and if hoody had simply said "well for most of the PL you had a more expensive squad" there would have been do doubt, debate, or mud slinging.
instead he stormed onto the thread, suggested other posters were ignoring the facts, stated a "fact" of his own that he could "guarantee", and then when challenged came back 48 hours later with nothing but a link to a transfer website. in the meantime he seemed to suffer some sort of breakdown, and collapsed into a mass of seething indignation and insults.
other than that, nothing to see here.

"yes, that seems to be the way it works with you, you make a statement without any evidence to back it up, then put the burden on other people to do the work to disprove your assertion."
This statement Don. You'll have all the evidence to hand I'm sure and absolutely won't try and wriggle out. I write literally thousands of comments and I'm asking for just a couple. Off you go....

It is a fact. At no point have Liverpool had a more expensive squad in the Prem. Feel free to check and throw in wages too if you wish.
If you add up the cost of the squad each year I can guarantee you Utd have a more expensive squad each season in the Premier league.

Okay. What about the stuff about me seeing as it's such a hang up for you. As said there is no way you'll try and wriggle out of this. You're the best, better than all the rest.
Just post your evidence that you already had to hand. Not hard surely cos you're not an arrogant hypocritical bellsniff.

isn't 48 hours of humiliation on this thread enough for you? you have still provided no evidence at all for your argument on here - your mythical newspaper article may or may not exist, we sure as f@ck haven't been shown a link - so i'll be b@ggered if i'm going to waste any more of my time on you.
and if you spent more time thinking about your arguments, and less time throwing puerile personal insults, maybe you wouldn't get yourself into such a tangle.
and quincey, i can tell you that i forgot about this thread 2 days ago - you can see that i made no comments at all yesterday for instance. and i would have happily ignored it forever, and not lost a moment's sleep over it, but for hoody's desire to turn every discussion into a personal duel.
but if you think it's f@cking boring for you to read it, it's even more boring me having to write this sh!t.
even now we can see that, rather than chowing down on some humble pie, having been proven to be a liar, he just wants to prod, and prod, and prod some more.
i'd give this online debating stuff up if i were you hoody, you're really not very good at it.

Didn't read any of that. Are you going to post your evidence in the in tress of parity or not?

Good stuff. Found the time to write about 1000 words (because you're not bothered) but can't live by your own rules and absolutely won't try and wriggle out of this.
Stay classy.
