Some of them have been good buys.
The fact is you cannot say that, as this simple stat analysis does, that spending £3.75m on a midfielder now is the same as breaking the transfer record for a midfielder. That was a greater amount of cash (in football terms) than the £35m they spent on Carrick and Hargreaves imo. Usually, if you pay top top whack, you will get a top top player. The risk is greatly minimised (exception = Stan Collymore in terms of record breakers).
