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.

Lol you are making it sound like united are some poor team that wins due to an unreal youth system. Their gross number is inflated due to huge fees they recieved for Becks and Ronaldo.
They were still top 4 in spending since 92, and more likely top 2 for most of it since City has only spent lots for 4 years now and Chelsea the last 10 years.
United is just as guilty at "buying" championships as the rest, they are just better at poaching other teams talented youth on the cheap and then sell them for huge profit when their value is at its highest.
