Carey 6 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Great finish although I thought QPR were excellent as far as defending goes. This will be great for english football at the top level, Manure will realise they have some total garbage on their books (Fabio/Rafael, Evans, Carrick, Anderson etc, etc) and strengthen, Chelski will replace the old guard, Tottenham & Arsenal will improve. Oh and Liverpool will still be crap. BCAGFC Carrick should be off of that list, he's been a top player this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor10 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 The difference being manu still have quite a few other 'youth products' who play, Manc = 0 and when you take the squads as a whole the Manc squad cost far more than Manu's. Interestingly though Man City have one the best break through of youth products in the premier league. I read somewhere they have produced more premier league home grown/youth players than anyone. Obviously not all are at in their squad, but players like Ireland, Onouha have all been sold on making the club profits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Figures on both sides seem quite out there. I heard it was City: £161million, United: £169million. That might have included the bench as well though Whatever the figures, it is a bit rich for Man U fans to acuse City of buying the title. Until fairly recently, and for much of the last 20 years, Man U have had the financial muscle in the premier league and were able to "buy" the title year after year, as their buying power was greater than anyone elses. , In the last few years sugar daddy owners have enabled other clubs to compete in the transfer market and Chelsea and now Man City have shown that this can bring sucess. Steve Landown's wealth pails into insignificance compared to owners at the top end of the game but Pardew's sucess this season shows that a competitive premier league team can be put together without having to break the bank ( in premier league terms, of course). On the other hand, Dalgleish has shown that spending big is no guarantee of sucess either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashtonphil Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Just thought I'd point out that one of the cheapest buys was Vincent Company - bargain of the season.... Any season at £6M. He is one of the main reasons MCFC won the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they have Giggs Only real product Man City have is Micah Richards. The difference being manu still have quite a few other 'youth products' who play, Manc = 0 and when you take the squads as a whole the Manc squad cost far more than Manu's. Well they have Giggs, Evans and Welbeck which are regulars But Evans wouldn't be playing if there were no injuries. That leaves Welbeck and Giggs. So only really 1 home grown talent difference in the starting line up. Rumours are that Sturridge could be going back to Man City, so that could be their 2nd either way, Man U have stopped producing real top quality talent. Most of theirs are old or bit parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hart, Kompany, Toure, Silva and Aguero. Definitely, I thought Toure was a big outlay, but in terms of A English league midfielder, he really has come into his own this season. Kompany has always been good, still can't believe they got him for 6 million. Hart A gamble but not a big one at 600k from Shrewsbury, I will say this is probably their best buy of the lot. A keeper like that can save you enough points in a season to make a difference. Silva, a luxury that that City can afford to have, brilliant or frustrating. Aguero, well this guy is a class finisher, paid a lot, but in terms of today's transfer fees, well, what was today's goal worth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To have been around for as long as he has, with no scandel, no nasty stories, says alot about the guy.
