Yeah but consider the times as well. Henry cost 10.5m in 1999, that'd be the equivalent of about 35m now. Bergkamp 7.5m in 1995... United's record signing at that point was Andy Cole at 7m yet that team had already won the league twice.
& 10.5m (Henry) + 7.5m (Bergkamp) + 3.5m (Vieira) + 6m (Pires) = 27.5m
van Persie was 24m
Rooney was 20m plus 7m in potential add ons
btw my post wasn't a criticism of Arsenal.
