I won`t argue about the figures. Maybe i mix Pepe and another transfer. Which doesn`t change the fact that Pepe is a joke and even 28mil is 29 more than what his true value.
In other words, you were misinformed about what actually happened - something that didn't stop you from talking. Maybe you should re-examine your believes about how much MU spends when compared to other top clubs. Honestly, how many times have you seen Pepe playing? These things are always subjective, but I confess I never thought someone would consider Ferdinand a better player than Pepe. Real should regret the money they spend on Metzelder, for example, not Pepe. Ask any Real fan if they have any kind of problem with Pepe's acquisition.
But on the other hand you are Porto fan so of course you think players who played for your team are better than anyone.
No I don't. That may be the way you analyse players, but not me. Not in football, not in basketball, not in any sport. Therefore, I resent your false accusation.
What did you expect? MU paying 500.000/year to keep Christiano and Rooney? PROVEN top players get top money.
So? I just found the suggestion that MU is any different than Real or that they only spend a fraction of what they can or that they let overpriced players go absolutely ridiculous. A club with one of the biggest payrolls in the history of football! Just don't pretend you're something you aren't, that's everything I'm saying.
MU qualified for 10th time in 13 season at the quarterfinals of CL.
MU won it 2 times and another 2-3 times reached the semis.
Maybe they should "relegate" to UEFA cup and win a few trophies more.
In the last 25 years, Porto won the European Cup/Champions League 2 times, plus one UEFA Cup, an European SuperCup and 2 Intercontinental Cups.
Porto are the record-holder in Champions League appearances, with 14 of them. This is the 6th qualification for the quarter-finals, MU has this on us. Still, a pretty comparable record, considering we advanced from the group stage 4 more times.
Now, if one factors the money each team spends, it's not even a contest - like it's a non-contest when you compare Porto with teams with similar resources, teams like Anderlecht, Feyenoord, Besiktas, Olympiakos, etc. If only we weren't forced to build a new team almost every year and see our best players leaving to teams that have astronomical debts like MU...
