Surely it's this one by a long long way? Assuming you forget the crippling wages that nearly destroyed the club that isMessi for a hormone treatment programme and money to his dad.

Not so great when we resigned him with a broken back nearly 10 years later for 2.5M.I always thought it was some team tracksuits. Then sold for, what, 2.3 million? Superb ROI
This is bang on.Nonsense. Throw meaningless stats at it all you want but Cantona had an influence at Man Utd that changed the mentality and drive of the team. Just being on the pitch motivated and lifted the team. No stat can show that but this will only be opinion, not fact, but if he hadn’t been banned in January 95, I bet Man Utd and not Blackburn would have won the league that year.
On the subject of Blackburn, signing Shearer for £3.3M, although a fantastic amount of money at the time, must be up there as one of the best buys? Win them the league, then sold him for £15M.Nonsense. Throw meaningless stats at it all you want but Cantona had an influence at Man Utd that changed the mentality and drive of the team.

Excellent trolling. People will genuinely think you're a complete imbecile after that.Definitely not Cantona.
Obviously was a good signing but only played 5 seasons for them. Was banned for 1.
Only scored more than 20 goals (in all competitions) once.
Never got 20 league goals in a season.
Keane, Schmeichael (sp) and even Ronaldo are all better bargains than Cantona in my opinion (and that’s just at Man U).
Aye, was a good buyBernie Bernie Slaven
Always seemed a nice blokeDanny Mills to Boro for £1.5m.
Or at least he'd said it would have been had we not messed him about.
