    And you only had to spend £80 million more than them to achieve it.

    Go team Brenton!

    Ah, but the impact that has on any club would be massive.

    Look how far down the table Utd fell after we lost Ronaldo. All that way down to still being better than Liverpool were before they lost Suarez.

    Seems that the club is only bigger than the player if the club is actually big <ok>

    Everton net spend: £37m
    Liverpool net spend: £38m

    Except that even includes £10m on Origi who only arrives this summer.

    Ouch!!!!!!

    Anyway I see everyone on this board is pleased Van Gaal is taking the first most expensive squad with the first highest wages to fourth place #tacticalgenius

    Certainly beats spending a **** load of money to take a team backwards and out of the CL. I admire the fact that you're now the last man standing in support of Brenda. KRAP.

    I have absolutely no idea what this depressingly unfunny halfwit is trying to say with that.

    Anyone got the foggiest?

    That's £116.8 million. Have you been taking maths lessons from Sisu and London's Only again?

    Ah, I see the problem. Lallana was missing. Easy mistake to make - he's been missing all season.

    Besides which, none of it counts as they funded most of it by selling their best player, so their summer was a resounding success

    To be fair to Liverpool they have played some decent football this season, whereas United have been incredibly dull passing sideways in their own half all season bar three games.

    You must have had higher hopes after a 150m spend

    See, when we mention you parking the bus you all scream "second highest goal scorers" yet here you are ignoring the fact we are fourth highest <doh>
