That is not a reliable site at all. They only spent €40 m in net last year, scroll down on the following link to players in and out in the players section.
We've spent around 120 million pounds in the last 10/11 months now. And more looking likely to come.
Shirt sales argument is crap but there is truth in the fact that the overall commercial image of the club has improved since signing him. They were behind us in terms of revenue when they signed Ronaldo and have since seen a growth in revenue so large that at the moment their revenue dwarfs ours.
But it took us to collapse on the field until the Glazers realised we needed to spend money. Compared to our rivals since Ronaldo left and the end the start of last season we haven't spent much at all.
Alright lad calm down. I asked if someone could posts the stats as I was interested. Nobody did, so I looked on my own. We both came up with around half a billion anwyay, I was curious. No need to bitch about it
Their shirt and merchandising deal was structured different to ours so it reflected on their revenue in a larger way and hence bloating their commercial revenue figure. It also meant added costs in running operations etc and manufacturing.... in relation to that.
I think a club of their size can comfortably afford to average around 70-80m a season on transfer spendings.
Yeah, but they still turn in handsome profits all the while spending huge amounts on transfers. Their business model is smooth, and most of their fans enjoy it although getting rid of perfectly good players might be irritating at times.
The bale signing made sense, play a 433 with Ronaldo and bale holding the flanks but they both could play in the same team
That's the site I'd look to as well. Across the past 5 seasons (excluding this one) they've averaged about £60m/year and that includes the Ronaldo/Kaka megayear.
This.
Of those 27 mil were used on Fellaini.
Yeah City, he was pretty close to them according to rumours and if Real decides to offload him they would be favorites imo because of Pellegrini, but to stay in Spain and go to Real/Barca was his preferable choice.
you're just the worstWell its like taking a super model out on a night out, and letting her go home alone down a dark alley way
They're always amazing on FIFA. It's why all the kids use them.
Real and Barca are always awesome at FIFA. They could lineup with Crouch and Heskey and EA would give them a 86 just because they are Real/Barca players^^
We were never going to get great ratings, when we have cleverly fellaini valencia young and nani, and allot of these players started allot of games
Yeah true, but I have always the impression that Barca and Real players get some bonus points, for example Rafael would have been a 82 or 83 if he had his 2012/13 season at Real, at United he was 78 or 79^^
Don't see how they could fit him in to be honest, James will surely play centrally and they've already signed Kroos to partner Modric/Alonso.
To be honest I have not bought fifa in a long time, they probably do, but those 2 teams have an insane amount of good players, apart from their defenders
