also i believe with transfer fees they are often paid in instalments over the length of the contract, so it is possible that we didnt give all that money to Real in one go and hence we always seemed to be owed money by Barca.
I believe Liverpool are bankrolled, I don't believe even with better commercial deals than us that they can afford independently the transfer outlays that have been made by them in the last few years.
