He had a revolving door because nobody played significantly better than any of the other options. He had just as many options in attack, yet he managed to find a starting role for Wayne Rooney in every game he was fit. Same with central defense, and yet Vidic and Ferdinand managed to find themselves on the team sheet whenever they were healthy.
Again, don't get me wrong. He's a fine player, and would walk into most Premier League lineups. He's just nowhere close to being the best in England.
