"It's like..."
Firstly, how insanely good was this squad? Secondly, how would it stand up in today's league? Squad as follows (minus a few of the youth players)
GK:
VDS
Foster
Kuszczak
CB:
Ferdinand
Vidic
Pique
Evans
Silvestre
RB:
Brown
Neville
Simpson
LB:
Evra
O'Shea
Heinze
MD:
Scholes
Carrick
Giggs
Hargreaves
Anderson
Fletcher
FW:
Rooney
Ronaldo
Tevez
Saha
Nani
Park
Ole (not sure he was actually fit for any of this season)
I mean, that walks the league doesn't it? I genuinely think they win every game apart from away to the top three. Obviously with a few hiccups here and there. Only City who I think would be able to compete. There's probably 8 players there who if you put them in the current squad of any team outside Liverpool/City/Arsenal now would be easily the best player.
Its like someone cheated at Football Manager by editing the database. Imagine having to basically give Gerard Pique away because he has no prospect of ever being more than your 3rd best centreback.
