不过,太阳报比较了英超三强这两年来的投资情况,倒是值得一看。
HOW THE TOP THREE COMPARE
MANCHESTER UNITED
UNITED paid £31million to bag Kleberson, Cristiano Ronaldo and Louis Saha this season, but only have the FA Cup to play for.
OUT (since 2002-03): £70m.
IN: £42m.
NET DEBT: £28m.
SQUAD VALUE: £199m.
CHELSEA
CHELSEA’S spending has gone through the roof since Roman Abramovich’s arrival.
OUT: £121.75m.
IN: £1.1m.
NET DEBT: £120.65m.
SQUAD VALUE: £194m.
ARSENAL
ARSENE WENGER did not have to break the bank to lead Arsenal to Premiership glory this season.
The Highbury boss has spent very little in the last two years.
Spanish striker Jose Reyes is his biggest signing — a £17million buy from Seville — during that time.
OUT: £25.1m.
IN: £4.56m.
NET DEBT: £20.54m.
SQUAD VALUE: £214m.
