*Officially* we're the Ultimate Selling Club

[OmarsComing]

During the past 5 seasons, we have sold the highest amount of footballing talent in the world.

I'm assuming out of that €322

• Bale €100M
• Modric €40m
• Berbatov €40m
• Carrick €22m
• Keane €25m
• VDV €13m
• Kranjcar €7m
• Corluka €7m
• Pav €10m

That's €264, so not sure where the other €58m is

Plus caulker, huddlestone, Parker, gio, tarrabt, (Darren bent? Was he in the last 5 years) etc probably adds up to that.

Caulker, Darren Bent, Palacios and Crouch to name a few. Also, it says to the big-5 league clubs, which presumably means Serie A, the Premiership, La Liga, the Bundesliga and the French League which would rule out Pav and Kranjcar.

This would make a good Pointless question.

Zokora for around £7-8 million is one.

They didn't go to top 5 clubs.. This is what they are measuring

 

[Lufti]

And we've reinvested that €322.1mn into the superb squad we have now

 

[chinaman]

This proves that we can nurture talent.

and blow wads on players that aren't worth it.

Reading comprehension

It's weirdly worded but it's clubs in the top 5 leagues. Hence teams like Genoa and Udinese not being greyed out. Or Sunderland not greyed out but Portsmouth are because they're not in the Prem anymore.

I wonder if that means our dealings to Portsmouth are included or not. Would be even more if they aren't.

No they mean transfer income to clubs in the top 5 leagues-not transfers to top 5 clubs

 

[Geyzer Soze]

Quite the contrary. In the absence of data on how much our incomings were in the same period, this says that we DON'T blow wads on players that are not worth it, because we make shitloads on selling them.

 

[yiddopaul]

So, RM are a selling club

And either fail in, or have no interest in, keeping hold of them.
