Lets not forget that under Moyes whilst finishing fourth we still had minus 4 goal difference.

Off the top of my head that team was put together for less than 50 mil:

Yakubu ~10 mil
Cahill ~ 2 mil
Pienaar ~ 3 mil
Fellaini ~ 15 mil
Osman - Academy
Arteta ~ 6 mil
Baines ~ 3 mil
Lescott ~ 5 mil
Jagielka ~ 5 mil
Neville - Free / Nominal
Howard Free / Nominal

Bleach please

Baines and Jags for 8 million...
23m for Gbamin...
That piece of information alone should be enough to make a grown man cry.

Yeah because you’d pick up those 2 for that price in today’s market.

That Stoke yard dog, whose highlight reel includes Fleetwood, is being quoted at £20m

Conceding two goals in injury time against Newcastle was another 'highlight'.

Still not got over this one! Think i stayed sat in my seat for about 15 minutes afterwards genuinely stunned!

1.5 for Townsend and Gray. 30 for Salah.
Today market is one for suckers and winners.

What are you going on about; you’re literally all over the gaff trying to compare purchasing someone in 2007 to purchasing someone in 2019.

….the problem is more significant than simply blaming the back four.

You could have prime Baresi & Maldini back there, but if your midfield is non-existent, the opposition will run riot, just as we witnessed on Saturday.

I'm pretty sure Howard and Neville were around 3M each.

They were top of my head tbf

Bainesy and Seamus were bought at a snip...their LB, RB pairing would be worth around 75 million quid nowadays. Both are still in their prime and would be snapped up by any club with CL aspirations. Capn Jags?, yes, he would be sought after but I think valuations above 50 million are being seen through slightly blue tinted spectacles
