    But what have they both spent on players?

    Net spend means **** all and was invented by Rafa to make you lot feel special (which most of you are <laugh>).

    not so sure what net spend is all about but
    If you have to sell your best player to get 150mil then you can buy two players
    As opposed to just keeping your best player and then buying two more - I think that does say something
    I think

    I rarely respond to you, cause I think you're a massive trouble maker

    EtH total spend in 3 transfer windows (roughly 1 year at ManU): About £428m, 7 bought, 2 free.
    Klopp total spend in 8 years: About £756m. 35 bought, 21 free (mostly youth)

    So while Klopp has spent £328m more, he's had 7 more years to do it. At EtH's rate he'll have passed that total spend by next summer.

    See, that was simple wasn't it?
    No need to bring all this "net spend" ****e into it, just keep it real on what teams have cost.

    I am on about what a team has cost, not what a team gained from player sales.

    If someone pays £250m for Mbappe but sells 6 players to help fund it will Mbappe have only cost £60m?

    What is City and Utd’s total spend since Klopp became manager?

    Some clubs, like ours, have to sell to buy. As already highlighted we had to sell our best player (at the time) to fund two world class players. We can’t just buy expensive flops (repeatedly like you lot have) and compete. We have to be smart. Glazers have chucked obscene amounts of money at your club and you have been **** for over a decade.

    What the team costs is irrelevant in a well run club, it’s all about what it has to do to get there.

    I know you don't like the fact you broke records for Keeper and Centre half so stick to the net spend poor old Liverpool who build teams on a shoe string and all will be fine <laugh>

    Why are you so concerned anyway?
    Is it because your board is a graveyard, or is it because Utd have been a joke for a decade and you need something to try and argue?

    if you want the “I can prove Liverpool have spent money” trophy, here it is .

    You’re lot are still a bag of ****. Whether your finished above us or not.

    Just player costs. Would be interesting to see since Klopp arrived what all 3 teams have spent what they achieved with that spending, be it titles or cups

    They've got new owners looming, most Man Utd fans are trying to justify over spending atm

    Absolutely not, I just find it fascinating that you are so lonely that you have to spend it on a Liverpool forum because there is no one else for you to talk to. <laugh><laugh>

    We have overspent for decades mate, no point in trying to justify that.
    All i am pointing out is that other teams also spend big to poor effect too but call on the Rafa inspired "net spend" to negate it.

    You need to travel more mate, most people on here visit far more than their own board <doh>

    You’re point is just silly though because you have spent poorly and you’re trying to down play “net spend” as something that is pointless or bollocks. When you know in reality that your club can afford to be reckless and make **** buys, whereas we had to be smart, and smart we have been. In fact it’s what makes Klopp even more of genius than pep.

    You can say we have spent £1 billion, or £1, but how we were able to do so was through selling players.
