Who gave me one star? They're ain't nothing wrong with this article.

Wenger

Don't think i could think of any manager in the world who could achieve a similar feat. All the other top managers either work with massive budgets or inherited a team of superstars.

A levels suck.

Fergie's cheap XI is better.

Schmmeicel - £500k

Neville - free
Bruce - 800k
Pallister - 2.3m
Irwin - 600k

Beckham - free
Scholes - free
Keane - 3.7m
Giggs - free

Cantona - 1.2m
Ronaldo - 12mil

Total - £21mil (ish) and over half of that was C.Ronaldo


Im not going to harp on about how Fergie is the master at finding bargains because for every Nemanja Vidic, there's a Kleberson, Djemba x2, Veron, Bebe, Tiaibi etc

Fergie is impressive but I don't think they were really the best 11 players he bought in over his managerial time, whereas my list was.

e.g. Ferdinand and Rooney cost a lot and should probably be in there

Also most of those players were older and so the transfer market was of much less value,

Yeah was just about to add, fergie is only other manager. But even so he has had a lot of funds compared to wenger overall

Neville - free
Bruce - 800k
Pallister - 2.3m
Irwin - 600k

I somehow don't think these are the best Man Utd players in their respective positions that Fergie has bought in!

For Ferguson's team surely you'd put ferdinand or vidic in CB. Then Rooney upfront, then instead of Beckham or Giggs put ronaldo in midfield. To make perhaps his best team. Therefore Would make it more expensive than arsenal. Wengers bargain team would beat that man u team.

Stil Ferguson's is not that bad. But Wenger's is better.

Dont be stupid people

Rooney over Cantona Ask United fans who they would deem Fergies's best striekrs were and not many would have Rooney.

Also, Neville and Irwin are our 2 best full backs over the last 2 decades. Did any of you even watch Bruce and Pallister, they were on par with Vidic and Ferdinand as a partnership.

Admittedly, you could stick Vidic in there, even then, he only cost £7mil

Smalling_Jones' team is spot on, and arguably as good as Wenger's team. Only 4 players might have a say on getting in that team and that's Rio, Vidic, Stam and Parker. Even the, Bruce and Pallister was a phenominal partnership. Rooney wouldn't get near a best Ferguson 11.

Still Fergie has had a lot longer. Also Man Utd, go away. This is an appreciation of Arsenal. How much success do you need before you stop trouncing on everyone else's!

Sorry, I saw the article and was going to comment, then saw Smalling_Jones' one and thought I'd give my opinion on that, and then forgot about the OP.

Credit to Wenger, he really has found some gems. It's shame he hasn't been able to find as many recently - that's not a dig at him or Arsenal by the way, just an observation of his transfers.

If you were to merge the 2 teams, Id say there'll be mroe United players than Arsenal ones

Here's mine, money no option, and based on what would make the best partnerships accross the pitch:

Schmeichel
Neville Rio Vidic Cole
Ronaldo Scholes Keane Pires
Bergkamp Henry

Bergamp, Henry, Pires and Cashley were unstoppable down that left wing. Neville, Rio and Vidic are less attacking and would allow Ronaldo more freedom. Scholes and Keane speaks for itself as a midfield duo, and Schmeichel is one of the greatest ever.

If we are talking TRANSFERS surely players promoted through the youth academy shouldn't count? Just an observation.

Both good teams

Neville - free
Bruce - 800k
Pallister - 2.3m
Irwin - 600k

Wasnt Bruce in old money? How many shillings is that?
