Which One Is Buying The Title?


Let me get one thing straight about Chelsea fans claiming Man Utd are ‘buying the title.’

1. Chelsea spent over £120m in the first season with the Russian tycoon, where Man Utd have only spent £50m so far.

2. Man Utd (unlike Chelsea were) aren’t alone with the big signings as Spurs and Liverpool have broken their own transfer records this season.

3. Man Utd have only signed 3 players where Chelsea signed a full team basically.

4. Man Utd already have the title and everyone said that they can have Carrick for £18m as they will win nothing.


I am not a Manchester United fan AND NEVER HAVE BEEN! The introduction of these quality players is going to make the Premiership even better, especially since top players aren’t only going to Chelsea, there going to other teams in the league. However, this doesn’t mean that Man Utd vs Chelsea is going to be a goal fest, we will still have to put up with them playing negatively against each other and a boring 0-0 draw will be on the cards.

but then you'll complain that Man Yoo and Arsenal are winning everything. When chelsea camwe thru it was a breathe of fresh air and to be fair everyone wanted them to win the league.
This season i just want it to be contested by at least 3 teams. The Spanish league was great when the leaders kept changing hands every second of a game.
Newcastle need at least 8 quality players to challenge for the title at maybe the sum of £120m. Dont think Ashley is that stupid to spend that much.
