I'm not sure I follow.
The first guy claims Man City's starting 11 cost less than Man U's. Are you guys talking wages or transfer fees or some combination of both? (I'm not well versed on EPL payroll calculation methods)
Bagor I don't get your facts. Are you saying Man U had a positive net transfer fee differential this year? Is it only this year? How is that calculated?
If you are saying Man U had a positive net transfer fee differential this year, so what? It's not like their team was free, they more than likely paid a lot of transfer fees at some point for those players who weren't developed internally. For example, if Man City made no moves but to sell Ballotelli next year would you claim they also have a positive net transfer fee differential, despite spending a cool qtr billion this year?
Edit: apparently I can't read. You said last 3 years. Ignore the last paragraph. And the second paragraph. So where did the first guy's claim come from?
