    £14 million, hardly an earth shattering amount in this day and age.

    And besides, I wonder what man utds turnover is per year, reckon they'd cover there summer spending in shirt sales alone.

    They can't even release their new shirts until August 1st due to their deal with Nike. Imagine the melt down on here and the BFC Facebook page if we had to wait that long? :D

    I have been told Van Gaal is not a fan of bringing players on through the youth setup. Probably why we are seeing quite a few of there lads released and on the market.

    You could never accuse Chelsea, city or Liverpool of trying yup buy the title though could you. They always fill their sides with products from the youth team eh? ???

    That's great for the likes of us. Let these big clubs release all the hordes of kids they snaffle up and let more of them reach their potential. Whole youth setup needs a revamp to stop the big clubs killing the talent. And that doesn't mean them having u21 teams in football league!

    As for schweinsteiger. Amazing! And a bargain at that price.

    Simple solution which I've said before. Scrap loans completely. Big clubs won't be signing hundreds of young kids then, instead they will sign for their local sides

    Don't be silly Man Utd don't buy the title, Man Utd don't even spend big money on players


    Rio, Veron, Rooney and Di Maria aside of course, then there's the players they signed just so other clubs couldn't have them players like Saha, Young, Valencia and RVP.

    No don't be coming on here slagging Manchester fuking United off, quite afew on here are balls deep in Man Utd

    In tennis terms she's up there with the likes of Bencic, Bouchard and Wozniacki.

    Best name in football and it's great he's after one last career challenge and decided to come to our country. It doesn't matter if United are trying to buy success because that's what every side in football is trying to do when they pay money for a player.

    I'm sure I'll get accused of being a United fan/sympathiser/etc. but Saha, Young, Valencia and RVP all played big parts for Manchester United. And a lot of their previous signings were made with money they had earned through success, global branding, etc. Not from some rich Arab sat in his Castle picking and choosing who he wants to buy this week.

    That's just my opinion like.

    What is the difference where the money comes from? They are still buying the players for vast amounts of money !
    I fail to see what it matters where the money comes from ! Man Utd are supposedly the team that does it the right way. Do they **** , they are just the same as every other club. If they want a player they buy him .Full stop .

    Maybe it doesn't matter to you, but I'd rather see a team spend vast amounts of money that they've earned over the years rather than have a sugar daddy. I'm not including the last x amount of years with the Glazer family at the helm, for obvious reasons.
