RAWK Goes Into Meltdown (2012/2013)

The proposed flotation of Manchester United on the New York Stock Exchange has re-ignited the debate on the Glazers' ownership of the Reds.
Fans have pointed to the owners as the reason why United have failed to land recent targets such as Karim Benzema, Wesley Sneijder and Samir Nasri.
But just how much have the Glazers spent on transfers since their takeover in 2005? And how does it compare to the money coming in from players leaving? Here is a run-down from each year since the takeover.

What do you think? Have your say.
Net spent is about 110M (maybe a little less) with the new signing of RvP, Henriquez and Buttner, also with the selling of Berbatov. So, 110M for 7 years is a little less than 16M for year which in the end of the day it's not that much but on the other side we had a good team before Glazers came here. Anyway, I doubt that without Fergie we could have had this success.
To be fair the real reason Fulham didn't sell Dempsey to Liverpool isn't about the paltry £2 million. They just don't want to strengthen a team that's below them but could be challenging them in the future.
Just scanning through that list and doing some mental arithmatic I reckon we received close to £50m from players that came through the youth set up and cost us nothing or nominal fees. Not bad.
Apologies for taking the thread off topic, thought it interesting.
Has anyone seen Borini over the course of a large number of games?
I ask simply because he's looked incredibly limited. That said, so has Giroud over three games so of course one cannot judge just yet.

The Tosic thing still bothers me.
why is that stuff in the RAWK thread??
Net Spend as a concept just belongs to the rawk thread

There's enough fantasy material on RAWK for you to write a book on, Steve.
Believe it or not, that's a shortened list, mate. 
Their obsession with autocorrecting makes their threads bizarre to read. The changing of Chav to Chelsea for example, makes that one seem like a confused rant against sloane rangers.
Not to mention that 'AVB' is autocorrected to 'Luís André de Pina Cabral e Villas-Boas'.
Not RAWK and knowing this place...it's old news...
Doing the rounds on twitter and I thought it was hilarious(very creepy though)

It's like Brokeback Anfield.

"It's too late, the gaffer has sold me to Real."

That is golden.No wonder Gerrard looks pissed off all the time - he nearly ended up with Gareth Barry instead.
what the?Mother of god.
Please don't tell me there is gay fan fiction about footballers?
Like someone said on here "stuff like this is making me lose my will to live".
For the love of my sanity I hope this is satire.

It's clearly a pisstake. Seems to have gone to far too much trouble but that doesn't take anything away from it for me!
Not a piss take at all.. check out that link!
feck,. that reminded me of that pic of Xabi tonguing Gerrard.. that was really weird
OMG.
You brits are sick.
Is that gay shits for real?

That's fifty shades of ghey.
Yeah unfortunately looks like genuine fan-fic crap.
Fan-ficition is probably the worst thing the internet ever came up with.
Probably is a piss-take from that incident.
