Add about 5½ to Ferdinand, after clauses were triggered they closed the book on his transfer at £33M.

And I am sure Joe Hart didn't cost 1.5 million either?

Think Joe cost about £600K from Shrewsbury. Maybe even in Frank Clarke's brief reign

Joe Hart cost £1.5M because he got an England cap.

Ferna cost City £30m, it was widely reported that Ferna waived a £4m bonus from Shaktar in order to finalise the move. Shaktar confirmed on their OS that they received £34m ( €40m ) so if them reports are to be believed then City forked out £30m.

He said Ferdinand mate. Not Fernandino!

Exactly. Every time we lose, the cost of the opposition team is the first graphic they love to show. No surprise that they've chosen to ignore it this time.

Done, also put it in the comments section on every article there (Subject to approval).

I cannot see them being approved as they don't show the image of utd that sky are trying to portray.

Pearce signed for something like that but we have paid add-ons since as he has progressed.

Popped home today and caught a little of that new Footballers Football Show on Sky and they were showing the spending of the PL, including wages, with us at the top. They then went on to break it down but the caption looked as though we were at least 100 million above everybody else. Is this right?

They also had some journo (I think) who stated that it would be a 'Novelty' to see City kicked out of the CL for a couple of seasons but concluded it couldn't last. Seemed to sum up the show for me.

I think any rational person realises that, but the rag mongs will just come out with some shit about them earning their money the right way.
That's the only argument the twats have got left.
