United have bought their way to titles just as much as Barca, Madrid, Chelsea, and now City have

I repeat ..... when they won their titles they were NOT the highest buyers in 11/13 seasons. 98/99 aside it's not even close to being debatable.
Let's talk about what they paid for Rooney but ignore what they got for Beckham just before? Or that Ferdinand cost 10M when Staam is taken into account?
When Chelsea won their 3 they were by far the highest spenders on 2 occasions and 2nd to city (100M) on the other. When city won theirs .... well.
If titles could be bought Liverpool would have about 3-4.
