that is an interesting idea, is did Wenger underachieve with the team he had. it was just before all the money bags arrived. We had Campbell, Cole, Vieira, Pires, Bergkamp and Henry. 6 players who could get into any side. Some of the best players ever to play in the country. Yet couldn't make enough CL progress or retain a league title. I do believe that if that team played now, they would still win the league. You look back and they have everything power, pace, skill and goals from anywhere. We as fans were blessed and it will be generations til we see anything as good.
