QUOTE (Jack Sparrow @ Feb 20 2011, 06:16 AM) Well we have spent big. Rui Costa comes to mind. As does Nesta. The difference is they were awesome for us. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Exactly what I was about to write. Then look at Zlatan/Robinho/Inzaghi, Sheva was big money back then. Of course we spend money. Yes, we found players like Kaka but we spend just like most others, I'm not sure I agree with that point.

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Feb 20 2011, 01:27 PM) Of course we spend cash, but compared to what the other European clubs spend, well, it's insignificant. I mean, we've spent +30 million for one player only twice in our history, for Nesta and Rui Costa. That should tell you something. Maybe, United are the same though only done it twice, with Rio & Berbatov. (Rooney didn't cost more than £30m). Obviously comparing any team to Chelsea/Man City will make them look like they don't spend. Just look at Arsenal I don't think they've ever spent £30m. I'm not talking about history, you can't talk about history if you mention Chelsea/Man City! Just hope we get a few decent players in, Mexes being my #1 hope really.

I don't see many alternatives, and it would be for free right? I don't think it would be a bad signing at all.

IIRC Rui was £27m(our biggest ever spend) and Nesta £20m, the only other to come close was Pippo at £22m while we got Sheva for around £16m and Kaka was £8m. Considering Chelsea payed £50m for Torres, then you're right we don't spend big.

QUOTE (KillerMax @ Feb 20 2011, 08:54 PM) I don't know what the fuss is about Mexes. He, to me is a inconsistent and shaky defender with flashes of brilliance. I definitely don't like that in a defender. What you said perfectly describes him. And I'd rather have a solid but just good defender than one that's hot and cold. But Mexes would come for free and he would not be a starter - if Nesta stays that is, isn't he going to be out of contract this summer? So if that's the case I'd welcome his transfer.

Considering Chelsea payed £50m for Torres, then you're right we don't spend big. I doubt comparisons with Chelsea or Manchester are not going to lead you to secure conclusions.

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Feb 21 2011, 04:16 AM) I know that, smart aleck. But £20m is still less than €31m. That's what I was getting at. Funny, I reckoned I_R was talking in 2002 values, where it would be round abouts the same. Here in my local currency I remember Euros being ~75 and British Pound floating in at ~120 at that time, US $ stayed at the ~60 mark. Now, of course it's closer. Anyway, the two highest transfers remain Rui Costa, €35m and Nesta €30m.

Emerson is the highest transfer ever... I mean, what was Galliani on when he was signing?
