Wenger is has bought some mules but his bargain hunting is second to none......

Liverpool £179m

And there you have it. It gives lie to the fact that Liverpool don't/didn't have money to buy players, it's the players they are buying. Some of the duds they've bought would make you tear your hair out. Having said that I think it's a bit harsh to label Lucas as terrible value for money just yet. He's still only a young lad. Diouf and Cisse would be the two that jump out at me.

Lucas Liverpool £8m
Kuyt Liverpool £9m
Bellamy Liverpool £8m
Gonzalez Liverpool £4.5m
Morientes Liverpool £6.3m
Cisse Liverpool £14m
Diouf Liverpool £11m
Kirkland Liverpool £6m

A certain Roy Keane at a mere £3.5m must surely go down as a great bit of business by United?

[Billys Boots]

FFS, Toure is the bargain of all time, followed closely by Clichy.

I was going to include him Seanie but at £3.75m he was a record transfer so was trying to keep it in perspective somewhat but a fantastic buy none the less.

[AZOffaly]

Is this your list Dinny? Or did you pull it from somewhere?

[Great Leap Forward]

I take it the list of hits and misses just include the six teams mentioned at the top of the thread.

Surely Tim Cahill has to be included in the list of bargains.

£1.5m and averages 10 goals a season from midfield.

[GaillimhIarthair]

Cantona at £1.2M must be the best piece of business here.  Was the catalyst for much of Uniteds success in the early to mid nineties and to be honest they haven't looked back since.  He never really cut it in Europe for Utd but he was a steal from Leeds at the time and hard to believe they actually sold him for that price considering the influence he had on their '92 league winning side.

Ha! I  have a life, I  got the stats of a mate of mine in an email.  PM your email and I'll send it on, I have an email address belonged to you but that might have changed.

GLF,

Yea sorry it only includes those 6 teams, Tim Cahill is a fantastic buy at that price.

[An Fear Rua]

Just after Keane and Shearer went the transfer market went crazy, Norwich were selling Sutton and decided to have an auction, Hence Blackburn payed 5million for him! That led to the beginning iof the madness.

Dinny why did you decide to look like a child by typing "manure"? Why not Murderes, Arseholes, chavski?
Grow up lad

Two words - Lesley Ash.

His influence wouldnt have been helping due to the fact he was "allegedley" banging Lee Chapmans missus

BAD VALUE -Id disagree with the following. Depends on how you interpret value, the fee or what you got from them/potential

Wright-Philips Chelsea £21m - Having a storming season so far, now he is in the team.

Mutu Chelsea £15m - Was playing well, and would have continued before he got caught. I dont think his tranfer fee was bad value.
Nani MU £13.5m - Only a kid, cost the same as Ronaldo did, and haveing a very similar first season, and ar egular in Portugal Squads.
Hargreaves MU £17m - Bayern regular, euro cup winner , aggressive, fast and clever player, Utd have seen enouygh of him this season due to iinjury, his pedigree is in no doubt, how can he be judged on half a first season in the premiership.
Carrick MU £14m - Overpriced due to english market, regular for united last season in a championship winning side, numerous excellent performances again this season, most recently againt the Geordies.
Ferdinand MU £30m - overpriced, but a great talent even if he is a knob. Averaged out over his utd career, easily worth it.

More good value

Dennis Irwin 1.5 mil from Oldham
Steve Bruce £825,000 from Norwich
Gary Pallister £2.3 Mil from Boro

Must be why she developed the 'trout pout' after he departed 

He was still a bargain though..........
