Vastly outspending them ? They spent £19 million on one player for f'ck sake He couldnt buy alves for the price of bellamy and pennant combined because he needed both a striker with pace and a right winger What leo is rightly saying is that Utd have players like rooney who can change the game in an instant, the truly world class players, like rooney, like rohnaldhino, like kaka, like Henry, like robben will cost a lot of money to buy and Liverpool have never been able to pay that money, we produced one of our own in gerrard, luckily That is why we have not taken that last step up for the last 6 or 7 years. We couldnt afford to buy two or three top, top, top players at once, we had to buy potential.
