But the Arsenal boss prefers his method of developing young players into world class stars rather than paying out for the finished products.
City have splashed out almost £300million on a host of top stars thanks to the financial muscle of Sheikh Mansour and it seems to be working as Mancini's men lead the pursuit of champions Chelsea.
Ahead of his team's Premier League clash at City, Wenger accepted each philosophy has its own obstacles.
He said: "I am happy where I am and I work in the way I work.
"I could do it (spend millions) as well, but Mancini has his own problems and I have my problems.
"I am quite happy with my problems because I have enough.
"It is a different way - we have advantages as well to clubs who have less resources than us.
"Coventry to Arsenal is less resources so we have to accept that."
Wenger expects City to mount a title challenge this season before continuing to splash the cash in their attempts to start a trophy laden era at Eastlands.
And he is hoping his Gunners side can also begin realising their own silverware ambitions.
He added: "City now will be one of the contenders because they are not at the end of an investment cycle.
"It looks like they are at the start of it so you have to consider them as one of the teams that will challenge.
"In our own way we are at the start of a cycle.
"That's what is good in football. Every club can work with its own rules."
Man. City 11/8, Arsenal 15/8, Draw 12/5
