Schmeichel
Saha mid season transfer 8 figure sum (normal team would just use a rookie striker)

source for the valuations http://endlesssoccer.tripod.com/tran..._transfers.htm unvalued players were expensive. There are dozens of players who are not listed but cost 7 figures, Man Utd have had the luxury of spending millions on a player who they dont play all season, leaving them with a large squad and of course large wage bill, this is a luxury that other teams have not been able to match eg. having a diff team for each competition. Keeping his premiership side fit for league games. Of course everyone who isnt a man utd fan knows this, but the spoilt glory hunting man utd fans either refuse to believe it or just dont realise it, they see a potential 25m annual cap as low when its still higher then 80% of the premiership.
