Cost of Utd legends in today's money...
- Thread starter Litch
- Start date
Depends when you bought them.
Lazy OP
£0. All of them well past their expiry date. Wes Brown is still going no? £10 for him then.
Let's say immediately after we won the Treble and translated into today's money
Stam: 50m
Beckham: 65m
Giggs : 50m
Sholes : 35-40m
Keane : 55m
Cole : 40m
Yorke : 50m

Actually I think the real question is how much would todays players cost in yesterdays money..
A prime Keane is upwards of 120m. They don't make em like that anymore.
Imagine how much Ronaldo would go for today. With the benefit of hindsight, £80 million was a huge bargain for Madrid.
Rio Ferdinand: £70/80M
Just think of the price paid for John Stones for being English, imagine if he had the talent of Rio. Hard to find some decent center backs these days as well.

Idiot
Stupid
.....and fool. The treble
Ok that's three infractions coming right up. Would you like fries with that.
Best 200 million
This.

Beckham 80
Giggs 60
Scholesy 80
Keane 100
Stam 60
Yorke 60
Cole 80
Giggs 60
Scholesy 80
Keane 100
Stam 60

How to get banned in 30 minutes
Would Cole who didn't even play regularly for England go for £80m? I doubt it.
Is he banned ?
A player like Andy Cole would walk into the England team of today though. The difference in quality England had up front in the 90's was streets ahead of what they have today. And he was still harshly treated.
Beckham: 60m
United: 1.5billion
A good banning: priceless
United: 1.5billion

Rooney: ¥435.608.000.000
Thread name should be changed to 'how to efficiently get banned from Caf'.
Haven't we already had a thread like this recently?
I have no idea what his comments were for (the ones that got him banned). It's like he couldn't take sarcasm.Too much mulled wine and not enough mince pies for the OP.
Beckham: 80m
Ronaldo: 200m
Ronaldo: 200m
This has gone swimmingly
Did Wilson get banned?
Solskjear £40m
Beckham £120m
Giggs £85m
GNev £35m
Cole £50m
Yorke £35m
Keane £85m
Scholes £70m
Schmeichel £50m
Beckham £120m

Yeah but in 99 he still regularly rotated with Butt, he got better as he got older I wouldn't call 99 his peak.
If Paul Pogba is worth 90 million, how much is George Best? 300 million.
Most unexpectedly funny thread of the year award late entry.English tax...
Scholes - £100m
Charlton, Best and Law were Ballon d'Or winners. That means their value is easily north of £100 million each based on what one would go for these days, even if Messi and Ronaldo are freakishly good. I'd say Edwards at his best would be thereabouts also, considering his young age.
Hindsight is 20/20, but considering Ronaldo's numbers for Real, I don't think £200 million would have been unreasonable had he been bought today. We were robbed at £80 million even back then.
The rest would be around the £50-100 million mark, I think.
