But if you type "Barthez joined United" in google you'll get many links and everywhere you'll see the same number - £7.8m.
It's not important. What's important is that the spending power of EPL teams grows bigger and bigger and i must repeat again that i'm worried. They are making the others hard to follow.
Sunderland, team that just got promoted, spends more money on goalkeeper than a CL participant, Lazio, will spend during the entire summer mercato.
This sucks !

Oh well at least no one will knock off Juve from the number one spot, Im not sure but some one told me that there is more money pumped into the PL than any other league in Europe including Spain and Italy. You do have a point about Sunderland and Lazio and I personally think there should be limits in all countries, many rules need to be changed for example the bottom 3 teams that get relegated from the premiership get bucket loads of more money compared to the teams that get promoted from the fizzy pop league (its really stupid because with the amount of money the relegated teams have they can build a very strong squad to get back to the premiership). Another thing someone told me you get the same amount of money in remaining in the premiership than you get for actually winning the CL, this I dont know if it is true so im hoping someone could enlighten me but if it is true then its a joke.
