That's not forgetting players like Hargreaves, Fletcher and Foster who might still get a reasonable amount of games each season.

We were fleeced around £77M to acquire three out of those four players, and Rio was deemed worth only after he completed five full seasons at United.. Not sure any other club can shell out such obscene money just to maintain an English core although the players are top notch.
