Essentially we have the best bang for buck in the league:
VDS
Vidic
Evra
Park
Ronaldo
And I'm not sure anyone else has homegrown who are as impactful as ours.
For all this talk of us 'buying the league' we're littered with both steals and more homegrown talent than the rest of the big 4 combined... right?
Funny.

Vela was signed at 16, he counts as homegrown, no?
Fabianski in goal, he was signed at 16.

How is Agbonlahor not in that lineup? Also isn't Mancienne a right back? Switch him with Carragher.
EDIT: Right right Big 4. *slaps forehead*

Huh? Fabianski, you sure..?
Is Vela better than Di Santo?
I guess we can put him in, but it's close between them..

Funnily enough, if you put the rest of the league's homegrown against that side for the rest of the big 4 up, I think it would be close.
Don't think either would touch ours.

Pound for pound, inch for inch, we're the best team in the country?

I'm pretty sure on Fabianski
Vela has is better than Di Santo and would probably be a better Left Winger than Wilshere.
The rest of the league would have a very good home grown team. Just look at all the stars West Ham have pumped out.

Fabianski is 24 and has played two years for Legia Warsaw before coming to England, no?
Aha. I will do this wing switch and put Di Santo back in.
I suppose where the rest of the league side would struggle is with impactful forward players. Gerrard is the only dynamite one for the ROB4 side, even.

Is it only Barcelona who could do something similar and remain competitive?
They're probably #1 for this in the world, actually.

oops, yea you're right about Fabianski. I can't think of any keepers. I know Arsenal have one 17/18 year old GK, but i can't remember his name.

Shhhh... everyone knows all we do is buy titles. Don't try to use fancy shmancy numbers. Otherwise the Scousers might also realize how much more they have spent compared to us. ;)

One of the funniest gifs. I've seen. Ronaldo's ego looks like it's been shattered to bits.
Thanks for this thread DS. Our efforts become even more impressive when you display our starting xi with their price tags.

Barca...
------------------Valdes
-------------Puyol------Pique*
-----------------Busquets
------------Xavi---------Iniesta
Messi-------------Bojan
???
So if we bargain basement the rest of the positions, what's the best they come up with totalling less than 35m?

How much did they pay for Eto'o? Not too much I assume.

That is shocking to be honest. Highlights the reason Fergie is able to spend big a few times as opposed to big once in awhile and dross regularly.
Virtually all our squaddies save Nani and Park are home grown.
