United did the same, remember the saying by Alan Hanson, "You can't win anything with kids"

Beckham, Scholes, Butt, Neville's, Giggs cost united nothing.

Its only over the last few seasons Ferguson has spent quite a few quid.
And on some players that didn't fit in i.e. Barthez, Taibli, Stam, although I think Stam was good but he had a run in with SAF.

The signing of last century has to be Cantona, a snip at £1 million.
The signing of this century has to be Ronaldo on his showings so far.
The biggest waste of money although he is a class centre half has to be Ferdinand at £30 Million, no centre half is worth that kind of money imo, I think manu were trying to bail Leeds out by paying all that loot.

I admit Wenger has done well with the resources he has at hand, but time will tell I suppose.
