Since £1.6 million was a hell of lot at that time, quite easily! Not to mention the issue was
buying everyone in sight. Did or did not Liverpool buy all the key players on the market that year? Yes or no? Do you know anything about footie? Toshack was
the buy of that year, and was rated as seriously expensive as he came from Div2.

So Dalglish wasn't a big buy then? Jeez.
Chelsea spend what's available. In fact over the last year the number of big buys has trimmed right down as even his nibs (thru the manager) has warned that the coffers aren't bottomless.
If you compare the current crop of players at Chelsea to Utds teams of the 90's there isn't much difference when comparing the level of talent and the size of the wedge spent, bearing in mind the current inflated market.
It's also well worth a good laugh listening to other fans bitching about Chelsea, when say for example, Liverpool have spent over £90 million on players themselves in the last three seasons!
If the Russians cash was coming into Anfield then no-one would be saying a word. Either fans
or press.
I think you're right Lawrenzini. Would anyone admit their old womans bellyaching is behind a transfer?
