What do you currently regard as the 2 greatest soccer clubs ?

Biggest club is undoubtedly still Manchester United. But the question
was about greatest (not biggest) in a historical context, and based on
league and European titles won there is only one possible answer to
that, so stop fishing for compliments.

Is "big club" just about purchasing power or squad size?

I thought you'd say Man U.

But I didn't read the subject well, it says "greatest" not biggest, so
there there's a possible credible argument for Milan over United (who
are a bigger club).

I put equal parts to:

History (more than a generation or so years ago, so roughly 10+ years)
Fanbase
Current Status (most recent decade)
Revenue/$$$
Pedigree (do they attract top quality players? Both current and
historically)

Anything else?

It could be either, I suppose, but the primary definition refers to
purchasing power.

Actually I was just curious on what basis Liverpool is a bigger club
than United (I think United are bigger so stop jumping to conclusions)
yet Milan are bigger than Juve.

IMHO. In England, historically, based on titles/EC won; Liverpool.
Currently, based on potential to win more titles/CL; Man Utd.

Give it a rest!

United have plenty of income money, one has to remember that the
debt that 'Red Football' carries has absolutely nothing to do with the
club's spending. I realise that you have a very narrow mind but surely
you understand that?
The debt that Arsenal carries is the debt from money they SPENT on
a new stadium.

Sorry, lots of income.
