I find it amusing how the concept of art and its value seem completely incomprehensible for parts of GAF.

Anyone that has ever read an exposé (not sure if this is the correct English term) on art, or even "just" literature or music, can understand how incredible paintings can really be.

they don't (want to) get art but they still insist gaming is art.

:lol[/QUOTE]

haha is it really fair to calculate it like this? It's like saying Buffon is still worth 50 million.

 

[Slizz]

:lol

Thats why Clev started.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

:lol

One team was built over the course of a decade, the other was built over a few years.

Yet another person who misconstrues every single point about Manchester City's wealth.

 

[Broder Salsa]

City = Moral champions.

 

[Blablurn]

It's just a joke picture from facebook. guys pls. so insecure.

 

[Wilbur]

But it's pointless. Who gives a fuck that our team was built for more :lol, how is it relevant?

 

[faridmon]

Why are you angry Willbur?

 

[Wilbur]

I'm not.

 

[Blablurn]

i respect your anger. you are going through rough times.

useless site. Benfica is also on a 27 match unbeaten streak since the loss to Olympiakos back in November.

24 wins and 3 draws.

 

[Meier]

:lol

The best part is Navas cost 7m less than that even so the difference is slightly more pronounced. Hart was also only 200k or so as well. Someone did one with the values adjusted for inflation (still in pounds):

Lacks the compensation fee for Rafael -- I think they used the figures from transfrmarket. Any way you slice it though, United's team was more expensive.

It says top 5 leagues brah.

like i said:

useless site

also, "top 5 leagues" makes zero sense, considering we're in the top 5:

Sound like what an angry man would say!

 

[Marc]

City, the people's champion's.

Still amazing that Kompany was so cheap despite everyone scouting him for years, worst kept secret yet no one gambles on him.

 

[Slizz]

like i said:

I agree. It could be argued, Porto and Benfica have been persistent/relavent in both UEFA comps, compared to Ligue 1 teams.

 

[Blablurn]

how i met your mother got so boring again. there were some hopes here and there but for the most time its just crap. i just wanna know how it ends. but its so bad :/

I knew Jamie Jackson would be on the case

The Glazers and their man on the ground, Ed Woodward, the executive vice-chairman, have shown admirable patience. Once this goes expect Moyes's removal to happen quickly and ruthlessly.

 

[Wilbur]

Which I don't think is what people refer to when they say 'City are ruining football'

 

[Clegg]

If you really want to be accurate then you may as well take away the fees for Rooney, Rio , Evra and Carrick. They were all bought before City's windfall.

 

[Zabojnik]

useless site. Benfica is also on a 27 match unbeaten streak since the loss to Olympiakos back in November.

24 wins and 3 draws.

Excluding the likes of Bayern, Benfica are the hottest club in Europe right now. Fueled by last year's debacles. I don't see them losing the championship or EL. Truly a glorious time to be a Benfica fan.

 

[Yurt]

guys pls. so insecure.

I love you Blayern, but this is incredibly funny coming from Bayern GAF

useless site. Benfica is also on a 27 match unbeaten streak since the loss to Olympiakos back in November.

Top five leagues!

lol don't worry though, Serie A is below Portugal next season*.

*co-efficient-wise. Since Serie A is below the Greek league in reality innit

City is truly the club for us commonfolk. Such a cheap team, it's amazing that they've been able to keep up with behemoths like United.

;-)

So United's next step should be buying City's best players? ;-)

 

[Meier]

City, the people's champion's.

Total bargain. Closest comparison in recent years is Varane -- what a steal for him at €10m.

The salt is strong in this thread… yummy united tears.

To be fair, did people rated Kompany before coming to Man City?

I don't think I have heard his name as much if he was that sought out, but again, that may be just me.

 

[Wilbur]

dat kermdog

 

[L1NETT]

That United team has been there (some of them like Rooney and Rio Ferdinand) been there donkey's years

Pretty unfair comparison. Looking at net spends over the last few years proves it.

Oh boom Arrow is on tonight.

Huntress episode though :/ Can't top last week

 

[Slizz]

dat kermdog

Gotta check dat post history before you call someone out lol.

 

[Blablurn]

after talking so much about losing teams here is a picture of thomas müller and schweini

 

[Wilbur]

Gotta check dat post history before you call someone out lol.

I was just joking, I have no idea. I just assume all City fans are Kermit.

 

[GorillaJu]

United Gaf are hardly salty. You guys take it pretty well, all things considering.

 

[Slizz]

As soon as I saw the av and the junior tag I thought the same, but jus had to check.

Like when a nurse surprises you with an injection, bruv

Bang, and the pain is over. All happened too fast.

the season is over soon, too. and im sure it can only get better next year.

Kermit?

 

[El_Presidente]

Not kermit, just pop in here after days like yesterday! You gotta savor the good times while they happen eh? I was just giving shit anyway, united-gaf has taken this season much better than one would have expected.

 

[Mr.Marston]

Yeah, Moyes will do better in his second season probably.

Only joking man

im sure you aren't kermit

 

[Salazar]

Wonder what the players thought when they saw Valencia getting stripped at 10 minutes, lol.

 

[Marc]

Total bargain. Closest comparison in recent years is Varane -- what a steal for him at €10m.

Massive bargain, natural leader as well which as Arsenal know is really hard to find in the market.

To be fair, did people rated Kompany before coming to Man City?

I don't think I have heard his name as much if he was that sought out, but again, that may be just me.

Yeah, he was well known in football circles as a future world class CB. I knew about him and dont really follow foreign youths except when watching England.

He was linked to every club under the sun for years it seemed like, think he was injured for a time so interest cooled a bit.

 

[Elchele]

they are cursed tho

"What's Kieran Gibbs doing in a United kit?"

 

[Meier]

That United team has been there (some of them like Rooney and Rio Ferdinand) been there donkey's years

Pretty unfair comparison. Looking at net spends over the last few years proves it.

It's just a silly comparison, but really, all that shows is that United were "buying the title" long before City did. Then you get into the "earned" versus "given" argument blah blah.

I actually think City and United have a fairly similar net spend over the past two seasons.

 

[confuziz]

This stuff is like a little piece of heaven on earth.

 

[L1NETT]

. Then you get into the "earned" versus "given" argument blah blah.

I don't think decades of success building one of the world's biggest clubs shouldn't be ignored. That's how clubs should grow, by playing good football, winning titles, bringing through generations of youth.

Kind of like a sport ya know.

But yeah agree the comparison is rubbish.
