No, THESE are the top five Premier League signings of all time! After fans questioned Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher's list, Sportsmail reporters picked their own... so, does Cristiano Ronaldo make the cut this time?

Sky Sports pundits Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher stirred up a debate when they listed their top five greatest Premier League signings during their Monday Night Football show earlier this month.

Since the top flight's inception in 1992 there have been a number of bargain buys who went on to greatness, and in Neville and Carragher's top five were Alan Shearer (specifically his move from Southampton to Blackburn), Eric Cantona, Thierry Henry, Jamie Vardy and Vincent Kompany. However, some fans online were dumbfounded as the likes of Frank Lampard and Cristiano Ronaldo missed out.
