We have spent more than most for quite a long time, except for Liverpool - not sure the exact stats but they seem to waste money at quite a rate! But apart from them and until a certain Russian came along we most certainly did spend more than others!

I'm going to put Fraizer Campbell in my fantasy football team now and hope your prediction comes true!

In defence though we seem to be spending less these days, if you exclude the large transfer buying of last season I expect only to see one or two players come in per season which I think is largely down to stable management. Clubs like Newcastle and to a lesser extent, Chelsea, chop and change manager a lot and each manager has their own ideas of playing style and usually bring players from their old clubs which invariably leads to a high turnover in players.

True, but I hope this summer's saga signals the end of our "high turnover" days. If we have quality here, there is no need for a new manager to come in and completely change it all. I think Scolari has gotten that message loud and clear.

I will say that I think you have a quality player in Berbatov that is a perfect compliment to your current strikeforce. And I hoped you would let him sit out a year in the reserves and then get him for nothing next summer. F*cking spurs.

I wasn't denying we have spent money and yeah we have spent more than most, but you rarely hear people moaning about the money United have spent on players over the years.
