On what basis you are saying ManUtd fanbase is 2nd biggest in the world?
I don't how things are in UAE, but I have yet to seen a single person wearing Manchester United Shirt in the downtown of Tokyo. Because a team is popular in one part doesnt necessarily mean it is popular in the other. Though I presume ManUre is popular as hell in Korea. The methodology used by magazines to calculate fanbase is sheer back of the envelope bullshits. They are not the type of figure to put much emphasis on. Considering we hardly generates any revenue through gates, and season ticket sale, I say there are more concrete basis to suggests Juve have bigger fanbase they are not fully exploiting.
I don't care what whether you intended or not, but to suggests that Juve never spend 25m Euro on player, to emphasize the Juve
can't (That is to satisfy AHMED

) can't buy expensive players, is pouring fuel into the fire. What do you expect Juve fan to take that as? Some sort of backhanded compliment? Even when, factual evidence suggests we can? There is a profound difference between not spending and can't spending. In regards to Ribery, Juve belongs to former, and Arsenal to the latter. You know why? When Juve buy expensive players, they have necessary infrastructure to make such venture into profitable one. Arsenal doesn't. That is why we spend money, and you don't. Arsenal is one their way towards establishing such status, but not there yet.
And we Juve fans have many reasons to feel bigger than ManUre. (1) More domestic trophies in a league, which have traditionally been stronger than EPL, quite significantly as well (2) Only one of two team in Europe to have won all the major European trophies, (3) 7 CL Final appearance compared to 2 of ManUre. Oh yes, to suggest we havent been more successful than ManUre on the pitch is an understatement.
