Ok, dummy. One last time. The vast majority of those players cost next to nothing (comparitively speaking). Also (please try to keep up here) we, like all PL clubs operate a SQUAD system - not every player will make it as a first team regular. So the likes of Inamoto, Diawara, Malz, Grondin, Suker all cost little and served the club well at reserve level. We have no problem with that.
You should probably spend a little more time on wikkipedia though before you embarrass yourself on here again;
I don't have time for the full list (or to spend half my day on wikki) etc but from memory;
Wreh - Double winner 1998.
Richard Wright - Double winner 2002.
Grimandi - won two Doubles 1998 & 2002.
Garde - Double winner 1998.
Cygan - UNBEATEN League winner 2004.
Most embarrassing of all for you

;
Kanu - Double winner 2002, FA Cup winner 2003 & UNBEATEN League winner 2004.
Now I think anyone with even half a functioning brain cell will admit that's not a bad return on our investment (maybe you could borrow that half a brain cell from your wife/sister) Further to this, the last time you posted that pointless list I posted this list of your donkeys (homegrown and bought);
Rossi, Forlan, Howard, Barthez, Johnsen, Phil Neville, Carrick, Bellion, Blanc, Bosnich, Carroll, Chadwick, Jordi (I refuse to call him Cruyff), Spector, Djordjic, Darren Ferguson, Goram, Greening, Taibi, Miller, Poborsky, Sealey, Veron, Anderson, Djemba-Djemba (Utd being so “classyâ€
