@KulaRaha....Most of the players signed by Man Utd, City and Chelsea are usually overpriced, the ones who turn out to be superstars are actually those discount bargains. Btw, most of the foreign imports (Big & small names) usually prefer London to Manchester/L'pool, which would explain why clubs like Spurs, QPR and West Ham attract good players. The others have to offer crazy money to secure their targets.

Arsenal's spending in the transfer market has been on the increase owing to the fact that they recently paid off the stadium debt so you should expect more quality signings....our rivals on the other hand are still struggling with FFP rules.

The report claims United's ability to attract 'unrivalled' sponsorship deals is key to its success, and cites their £47m-per-year shirt deal with Chevrolet as an example.

Meanwhile, latest brand value figures are out. Seems you can go 2 years without winning anything and your brand goes up, while some win and brand keeps losing value.

Manchester United have become the world's first billion-dollar footballing brand, according to a report which also shows Manchester City and Chelsea performing better than Arsenal.

Some wins are not good.See what the Chelsea win did to our Chairman.He lost his marble and now he wanders around talking to self like an old lady who has misplaced her padlock.

Yaaawn! This thread has outlived it's usefulness.
Looking forward to the next season.
