You two are so funny. Solskjær was on my bench before I decided to clone Rooney.

Now that is a first 11.

I might put in Sagna, at least as a sub, but that XI is pretty spot on. If we're talking bench, RvP would definitely be a sub, probably over Parlour. Toure over Keown. At his peak, I might go Overmars over Ljungberg, but Freddie had the longer Arsenal career so I've got no problem with him there.

Awesome lineup, Kinda sad that none of our current players even make the bench though.

Yup we just don't get them like we used to.

In fairness, the majority of those guys played together on the only team to go unbeaten throughout an entire EPL season.

Ok so I guess that should count against them. Thread said best starting 11 so that's what I did. I can't help it that they all played together on the best team in EPL history.

I'm not counting it against them, just saying maybe you're holding current players to too high a standard.

No CL hardware, no important goals to date. As of today, no.

He possibly could slide in, in detriment of Raulinho, in the future.
