It's a bit early to say, but Tottenham look really good this season, I think Ange is the kind of long term deal manager these declining big clubs are in need of

Even if he ends up winning nothing in his career, he will be remembered for sure.

For me, I think Son leaving the club would have hurt more than Kane. With Kane it was always an inevitability, a matter of when not of. But Son, for whatever reason, is almost never linked to any moves away, no other club has ever seriously tried to take him. And I’m not gonna complain about that. He’s been a brilliant player for us, deserves that armband, and clearly is happy to stay.

He went to tottenham also thanks to money tho

​@@Lilac_31 you mean even though he'll end up winning nothing in his career.

Exactly, how he's not in this list?

@@vlad6331I think bc everyone knows about it

Because he plays for a team owned by Qatar

@warrenliu5079 so did Sergio Ramos and messi, and they made the list.

​@@saniwadayeah...

This

Not to mention that the manager and technical director seem to be at each other's throats not even a month into the campaign. Even more bizarre is that the new manager knew that the deal was that the new TD was going to go out and find players and that the manager's job was to form a team from what he got. Now the manager is complaining to the media that he didnt get he player he personally wanted. Wild stuff.

The TD bought a dozen of young players whom were mostly offered 5-year contracts. As an Ajax youth player, that now means you have no future at the club. I don't understand how a club can let something like that happen. Firing Overmars (the politically correct thing to do) was a huge blow. That makes the whole story even better material for Alfie, haha!

hardest Football quote in a looong looong time thx for sharing :D

​@@gzs7483Saudi slowly just become what China is. Their performing poorly in their Asian cup campaign. And the problem is their top team conquered by foreign player and more worst their player don't abroad from their league

I think part of the reason Di Maria wanted to leave Man United is because his home was broken into by robbers!!

I look at goal scorers like singers in a band. You are nothing without your defenders and bandmates, but you get all the credit. In fact. You do the least work. Source. I am the singer.

He was good at first half of a season and bad at the second.

​@@henrimarjoan7876which exactly coincided with his home being broken into.

​@@h2ohydroxyea, he clearly didn't have much fun in England. I don't think his English is very strong.

The 'albeit from a club that I had never heard of until Tuesday' was a bit of a giveaway. You can't really afford to rile people up as a professional footballer, it's not good for $$$.

@@z01t4n Henderson riled up a lot of people and it was great for his $$$

@@z01t4nalthough i agree with the rile up thing - I somehow doubt that Vardy REALLY cares about stuff like that

*I'd HAVE thought. this is top 3 annoying typos in English, ugh

What about Neymar? I think he is known to have a similar lifestyle.

@@maciejbala477 Not sure how it's a typo bud, I'm first language Welsh and the direct translation if I'd of thought. From "fyswn i'n meddwl". You continue to police us though. 🤣

Lukaku wants to live in Italy

He's probably been on Saudi radar ever since his rainbow flag-kicking antics...

Yeah....and Lukaku was mad at Inter because Inzaghi didn't start him in UCL final

so you did the research like Alfie did and didn't believe what you so online ha? O wait you didn't, haaa funny. Pls just don't type lies online, you make a fool of yourself.

@@abhishekbisht3032 And you are just the same. What a shame.

Messi will get his own MLS club when he calls it a day what would it be called and where would it be located Texas FC ,Inter colorado FC ect

​@@declangaming24 no, he'll get a share of inter miami. the most valuable MLS team was worth 1 billion and that was before messi chose MLS and values have been rising for years and are expected to rise further. so now that messi joined inter miami, it will probably be worth more than that. and it could very realistically rise to 2 billion (or more) when he retires. he will get a good share of that, no idea how much, but he will be a minority owner, but that could still be several hundred million. they won't give him a new franchise, first this would mean that MLS and not his club pays him. second, it is impractical. they would need to expand the league, messi would need to make large investments in the team, either with his own money or by getting investors in (which means he would sell part of the club). third, i doubt he wants to run a club, it's much easier for him to just own part of it and profit from the investment. he can still work for the club, but would be free in choosing his role. i think he isn't the guy who wants to become a business man, but will stay involved with the sports side of that business

@@NR-fd9wv your right but I think after he's done playing or coming towards the end of his carrer he will play or buy newells old boys and go all out to win the libertadores

@@NR-fd9wvhe got the same deal as Beckham, in which he has the ability to make a team and be part of the mls like inter miami

​@@declangaming24in Argentina you can't buy clubs.

Exactly. He even rejected a move to arsenal when he was like 28 or 29.

@@jegerm6752 I think he was worried after coming up the leagues he basically owe Leicester everything.

Vardy was great in his prime, but his measly 3 goals from 37 appearances last season suggest that he is sadly a spent force. A move would have made sense for him and perhaps even for the club if the transfer fee was high enough, but I understand that he didn't want (his family) to live in Saudi Arabia.

Statues are ridiculous

unsubscribed

I can't blame you.

You can do it manually

If you hit settings wheel in top right, choose Captions, then choose Auto Translate, then choose Spanish (or whatever) it should be mostly accurate but I can't be sure. Alfie's audio and pronunciation seem clear to me so it should be finem

Fine*

I'm not a native speaker but I do know Spanish and the auto-generated subtitles seem to be pretty good

@@YesOkayButWhy from my experience auto translate is of questionable quality, it can struggle with things like grammar, names or homophones for example. Admittedly the latter two are more of an issue of auto generated captions in general, but it gets worse with translation because the context of "these words sound the same" can easily get lost. Everything after this just serves as an illustration of my point, feel free to skip if you're familiar with the joys of auto translated auto generated subtitles. Here's an example of a dubious translation from German to English (so we get to a translation everybody in the comments should understand), the video in question is Mainz 05 vs Stuttgart highlights (1st German video I saw on my home page). I added punctuation so it's maybe somewhat more comprehensible than the "raw" subtitles but it felt necessary to compensate for the missing context of audio and timing. "Mainz in Roth against Stuttgart, the guests full of spectacle so far, the hosts the complete opposite: 17th place. First scene 9 minutes the only five looking for their form. So he can tackle the topic, Marco Richter with the strong action, the Stuttgart keeper Nübel also with very good ones Grades completed." Obviously they didn't play in the Bavarian town of Roth (triathlon enjoyers might've heard of this one) and the third sentence is barely coherent. Note that this was commentary specifically recorded for the highlights for public broadcasting so the auto generated subtitles don't suffer from weird cuts or poor audio quality. Now think of dealing with this for an entire video and keep in mind that a lot of languages have significantly larger grammatical differences with English than German does.

Shithousing probably doesn't go down well in the Em!rates

With enough money you can easily get drunk in places like Dubai. Just don't kick up a sh!tstorm in a drunken stupor. Though even then the Saudi's can take a hike.

No money no (commercial) football in reality

@@isaacfung622 That's not true, football was doing fine until it became a big corporate business.

Ironic that the ridiculously high salaries on offer ALL started at the EPL.

It's cute that you're saying that now that Europe is being affected, like it hasn't been doing the exact same to South America and Africa for at least 50 years...

Nah

Tbf it's probably not all down to their ethics, lots of them probably just want to still play at the highest level and compete for major trophies

@@ethandalton6480 for sure, but that is a good thing too

I wonder what the ethics of working for an oil monarchy owned club in Europe are compared to playing for an oil monarchy owned club in Middle East.

That's way different to actually moving to Saudi with your family and promoting their league. Messi continued playing in Europe whilst being an ambassador, before moving to U.S!

@@sepehr.javaheri he is doing more promoting than anyone for Saudi Arabia and its even putting his money where his mouth is by living there he is as bad if not worse

@@od9694That is factually incorrect. Messi is not the face of Saudi Arabia and hasn't promoted their league.

@@sepehr.javaheri he hasn't promoted the league he has promoted the Country

@@od9694 Thought we were on the topic of football and not sponsorships and tourism 😂

Will go same way as China Some hand wringing and eventually ending up being nothing

The Chinese league though was much less lucrative. These Saudi offers are way more then the CSL ever did. The best players the Chinese league had were like Paulinho and Oscar and an ancient Tevez, not Ronaldo, Mane etc.

@@xcf5587 tbf Mane and Ronaldo could be considered ancient aswell... however players like Milinkovic Savic, Neves, Fofana, Kessie, Ibanez, Laporte and Veiga are top players who still had surely lot to do in Europe

Soooo you just did the research yourself, nice. Can you show me a source or something?

​@@stefanmihordea3854 Mate this is widely known. Google it yourself and you'll see. You're implying the OP is pushing some crackpot theory - it's not at all. It's the very widely reported truth. Surprised at Alfie, he's normally very well informed.

@@stefanmihordea3854Lmao why are you taking this so personally? You can see in the comments here, a lot of people know this story and saying Alfie got it wrong. He isn’t an expert either, he’s just a researched KZfaqr..

He went because of Beckham offering him a cut Inter Miami.

I know right!

Yes. Even I am surprised that he hasn't included Salah's name in this list. Salah and Liverpool had the most pressure from Saudi Pro League.

Exactly, Salah knew that, as the top Muslim football star of all time, he would have been treated like royalty everywhere he went in Saudi, but turned it down to stay with Liverpool...
