Fernando Torres aside, Liverpool have never spent more than £11 million on a player. United paid £29 million for Rio Ferdinand A DEFENDER, in 2002. They spent £28 million on Juan Veron (great signing, ha!) in 2001, Owen Hargreaves cost £17 million, Carrick nearly £19 million, Rooney cost £30 million. I could go on - the point is for every £ million Liverpool soend, United spend £2 million!
It is hardly worth even mentioning Chelsea - everybody knows the money they throw at the squad.
I would like to add:
In 2003, Chelsea purchased a starting XI and still only finished 2nd in 03/04
In 2001 Utd spend on two players (Veron an Ruud) what Liverpool did during the whole of last summer.
Yes Liverpool spend money last summer, but players left too - nearly £20m
