Sneijder and Robben playing in the CL finale in Bernabeu, one year after Real shipped them off, was a beautiful moment in football history.

I really wish Milan kept Bonaventura. He's an icon of our banter era

Can't mention Per Mertesacker without mentioning his 2017 FA Cup final appearance. Arsenal had no fit defenders left, Per had barely played at all that season, but him and Rob Holding put on a masterful display against champions Chelsea. Mans a legend

"Arteta was a poor man's Fabregas", that made me laugh lol

Most Injury prone XI (talented players) in the premier league era

Underrated panic buy: Hakim Ziyech from FC Twente to Ajax. Ajax struggled in the first half of the 2016/17 season under new manager Peter Bosz. Nearing the end of January, Ajax signed Hakim Ziyech and he went on to help Ajax reach the Europa League final and transformed Ajax for the seasons after to the Champions League semifinalists they became.

I remember that Barcelona Davids signing so well. It completely transformed the team. Me and my mates were adamant that if the season had a few more games, Barcelona would've won it.

7 best ever homegrown players with biggest impact at there home club.

I'd consider Kepa a success panic buy, because he succeeds in making me laugh.

You forgot the Arsenal trio of Denis Suarez, Park Chu Youung and Kim Kallstrom. So good in fact that the FA mandated Arsenal to not play them to create a more level playing field.

Cantona really did change United fundamentally, and I approve of this message.... Before he came they were seen as a glamouris, rich club, a bit like Tottenham Hotspur they would do well in the cups but that never had that extra to really dominate in the league. He was the guy who set the wheels in motion, and also added more glamour too. He didn't walk or talk like anyone else.

7 most expensive players 10 years ago: Where are they now?

Do a video with the premier leagues first 10+ million signings and how they did and what happened after.

Hyypiä also became coach of Leverkusen after he stopped playing for them. Interesting tidbit, he coached the team first with Sasha Lewandowski in a rare dual-managerial role where both of them were equal first team coaches!

Bro why did I feel like Van de Vaart was at Tottenham for years?😲

robben became a fc bayen legend after scoring the wining champions league goal at the beautiful wembley in 2013 to make up losing them the trophy at their homeground a year eariler

I met Dion Dublin once, I asked him what his thoughts were on Manchester United signing Eric Cantona, he laughed and said "Eric did more for united than I ever could have" He was such a humble guy, he was really nice too.

I actually was in the stadium of my home club of Nuremberg when Bayer Leverkusen lost their first match that season. I believe we went up something like 3:0 before halftime and we literally couldn't believe our eyes. The stadium was ecstatic. I think it ended 3:2 but we didn't care. One of the biggest upsets I've ever witnessed in person.

Man I loved how except maybe Hyppia and Davids, all these Panic buys made the player a lot better too, Robben has seen as an Injury-prone not reliable winger, and now it is regarded as one of the finest players of this generation, also how Mertesaker regained his starting spot as Germany's center-back going into Brasil, rotating with the likes of Hummels and Boateng. Arteta may not be a manager nowadays if not of that move. Video Suggestion: 7 Best 1-club man (I know you are going to put Tom Finney or Messi on top, I want to see how it would shape out)

Bonaventura is one of the most underrated player from Milan. He was the best Milan players in that era, when we became injured the team suffered. Still Pioli good shape on 2020 while Jack injured sealed his destiny. But for sure he could still play for the team now

I actually remember Fergie's desperation in the transfer market just before he bought Cantona and when it was announced on the news, everyone in the pub, included me laughed our cocks off! I'm not often wrong but I was proved wrong with that one but I still think it was more luck by desperation to get someone in, rather than judgement!

David Luiz to Chelsea in 2016 is one of the best panic buys as well. Signed in the last hours, he was pivotal in Conte's title winning season, even shortlisted for the Balon' Dor.

HUGE respect for recognizing bonaventura and his impact during Milan’s worst years

Robben the best! Arjan Robben still kicks ass! He played an amazing match, made a messi style dribble and beaten the whole enemy defense. He also scored 2 assists!

Lubo Moravcik was a panic buy for Celtic that became a club legend. When he signed he was 33 and totally unknown but ended up world class and had gone under the radar for most of his career playing for small clubs.

Remember when Arteta was an exciting young left-winger until his knee was turned in welchs jelly and desperately tried to rehab his career at arsenal

Cavani is the best panic buy this season tbh

I clicked just to check if Jack was on your list. Thanks. He is just so underrated. We kinda wasted his career cause he stayed in one of the worst Milan in the History while having the talent to play an important role in about any team in the world... Very unlucky player with all his injuries at key moments... I will always be grateful for what he has done in our squad. Grazie Jack di Cuore.

Love the videos bro keep up the good work. You should do a video on the best squad outside the ‘top five’ leagues I think it would be really interesting

"I am after all an idiot"...best statement ever 🤣🤣🤣 Robben was the best

Right guard, reliable antiperspirant and apparently a decent barca manager too

Day 19:Please make a video about DINAMO BUCHAREST...The story of our club is a hard one...And you telling it can really help us a lot,our club is clinging to survival,and we raised 2 milion euros to try to save the club... Dinamo is one of the biggest clubs in Eastern Europe,it has 18 league titles and 13 domestic cup titles...It reached the Champions League Semi Final in 1984 after beating the holders of the trophy Hamburg...In the Semi Final they played against the great Liverpool side of the 80's...After the 89 revolution the club lost one of their greatest generation after their players where bought off by western clubs,similar to what happened to the clubs in East Germany that you already talked about...Corruption and neglect brought this giant of romanian football to it s knees...At the moment Dinamo is preety much the ONLY true historical side in Romania's top division...This team stood afloat thanks only to it's fans...In the summer some new spanish chiarman came and bought the club,brought players on huge contracts and left without paying them...The players just broke the contracts and the club accumulated even more debt...If the fans did not step in and accumulated 2 milion euros the club would have been dissolved...For anyone watching outside of Eastern Europe it might be hard to understand it s value...If u re English imagine Liverpool being dissolved...This club is OUR Liverpool,and it's stadium OUR cathedral...With all the fears of relegation,players leaving and managers coming in and leaving the club still managed to fight it's way to a Romanian cup Semi Final...Please,make one video about our story too...

I would also add Cafu, from Roma to Ac Milan on a free transfer. Either the president of Roma or the manager said that he is 30yrs old and cannot give more.... While on AC Milan, Cafu won 1 Seria A, 2 CL, 1 WC, 1 or 2 Coppa Italia, and maybe more... until he retired at 37 or 38

Bro your content is sublime. Much appreciated mate

I liked that you included a picture of Stewart Donald when talking about stupid decisions Alfie, you’re not wrong

Nice to see Arteta and Mert get a mention on this. Thoes two did more for our club than people realize behind the scenes. Mikel as great on the pitch as well in his first few seaons, while Mertesacker and Koscielny were our best defensive partnership of the ast decade.

Don't forget Martin Braithwaite 💪

Alongside Ribery and Neuer, Robben is the most crucial signing Bayern made in the last ... 30? 40? 50 years? I have to go back to the 60´s when Beckenbauer, Breitner, Hoeneß and Müller were scouted, or maybe one of the 90´s guys but in the modern era, Robben stands supreme

Love the video great stuff keep it up and I'll I can't wait to catch your next KZfaq video

Mate, that was a good one. Could you do a best 7 left backs in this century please. They are as loose as goalies

Soldado is a bit of a legend at the club too! Despite not recapturing the form that got him the move, the fans immediately connected with him and he still talks about his spurs experience!

Kim Kallstrom scored a penalty in a shootout in the FA Cup semis and made one really cool pass against Swansea. Great piece of business by Wenger.

Big up for including per and mikel two underrated signings!

I understand that this channel is English (although I'm not saying at all that Alfie ignores the rest of the world, quite the opposite), but Hakim Ziyech to Ajax has to be one of the greatest panic buys of all time too. Just weeks before, Ajax' technical director Marc Overmars had stated that Ziyech was a good player, but that Ajax wouldn't be pursuing him. Then Ajax had a slow start to the season, winning just 1 of their first three games in the Eredivisie, and losing the Champions League play off to Rostov of Russia, and Overmars does a 180 and signs Ziyech on deadline day in 2016. Four years on and Ziyech has helped put Ajax back on the map with great performances both domestically and internationally, reaching a Europa League final and coming within seconds of a CL final (both were thought by many to have become impossible for a Dutch team to reach), winning silverware domestically, as well as many individual rewards, including Ajax player of the year three out of four times, despite playing alongside players such as Frenkie de Jong, Mathijs de Ligt, Dusan Tadic and Andre Onana. A bonafide Ajax legend.

Please can you make a video on the best strikers in the 98 world cup. In my opinion, there were world class strikers in most teams competing...thank you

Check out Beşiktaş's experience last season with loaning Ghezzal from Leicester last season. They got him on the last hours of the transfer window and barely got the paperwork through to the FA. He want on to providing 18 assists and 8 goals as Beşiktaş won a double

What an underrated player Hyppia was. Fantastic player lifting (along with gerrard) a rather poor liverpool squad to some major trophies that they weren't really worthy of

Didn't know King Eric was a panic buy!! Also, why no Cavani? Everyone expected him to fall flat on his face in the Premiership, but I was confident that he would be a success like Ibrahimovic. But he was definitely a panic buy!

Great video today keep it up your doing amazing job

Great topic

I think David Luiz's return to Chelsea should be amongst them. we bought him for 50m back from PSG on deadline day, I remember it coming out of the blue completely. He helped us win the premier league with Conte and lift a couple other trophies, before being deployed to Arsenal to sabotage them

Nice video idea Alfie, good watch ;)

This channel just give me nostalgia

Top 7 Player-Coaches of all time based on their success?

I love the content ❤️ Greetings from iceland 😎🇮🇸

Rivaldo from Deportivo to Barcelona in 1997 after Ronaldo moved to Inter & Barcelona had difficulties in the previous stage of UCL against Skonto Riga.

Thanks fr taking the idea

Dion Dublin to Villa. After Yorke forced his move to Man Utd, Villa signed Paul Merson. An incredible start to the season saw Villa top of the league, but Merson picked up an injury, Collymore was dogged by off-field issues and Villa were knocked out of the League Cup and UEFA cup in successive games. Desperate to regain momentum, Villa brought in Dublin, who went on to be considered a club favourite.

"If you really really must make a panic buy, then bay a dutchman": Barcelona must have see that video before buying Luuk de Jong 😂

Best bundesliga scorers to have scored the least goals in the Prems and you're absolutely spot on about Bonaventura, guy's got something special about him

Next Video: Stadiums That Would Have Hosted Matches Of The 2006 FIFA World Cup Munich's Olympic Stadium, Dusseldorf, Bremen And Leverkusen Were One Of Those Stadiums

When you said Edgar Davids I was hoping you were talking about when he came to us at Barnet

So the lesson is call Real Madrid on the last day of the transfer window and see if they have any spare dutchmen? it would be reasonable to assume Perez will take the call!

Top seven free agent signings of all time

when stewart donalds picture popped up i couldn't stop layghing

How about a video on the 7 best runners-up teams in Europe’s top 5 leagues since 2000?

King Eric's arrival at the Theater of Dreams can easily feature in any "top transfer" list, not just the panic buys :)

Number 1 should be Braithwaite. He was a huge succes, he is gonna win a ballon d'or one day!

The rumour at the time was that Leeds offloaded Cantona because he had become 'too friendly' with Lesley Ash, who was Lee Chapman's other half.

Hey HITC: please do a vid on each country's best kept secret star. A player who is seen as one of the best in their own country, but have little recognition outside of it. For example: Willem van Hanegem in The Netherlands.

What about Keith Gillespie, from Man U to Newcastle in Jan 1995, as exchange for Andy Cole.

Nice list mate 👍

Will Grigg was our last panic buy flop. Sadly we've had a few flops at Sunderland.

i love will grigg as a wigan fan, but the scenes in STID of sunderland buying him are hilarious. his ankles are made of cheese, cook thought him too lightweight and still they stumped up 4m for him. the only downside is it could spoil griggs career if he doesnt get a move in summer on the back of a mixed bag at mk dons

Can you do a documentary on the AFC Wimbledon story and maybe the club kingstonian how they don’t have a stadium anymore ? Thanks

Arjen Robben should 100% be at the top of this list. And it’s not close.

Spot on. Jack is a milan legend, no one will change my mind.

Seven club legends that have played less that 100 games for there club.

Ziyech should be in this list as he was a panic buy for his transfer to Ajax. Ziyech was forcing a move away from Twente but for almost the entire transfer period it looked like he was going Fenerbaçhe but at last moment he snaked us for Ajax instead of doing a good transfer to Fenerbaçhe

Not sure if it is a panic buy for Cantona. Was an oportunistic signing though. Edwards said it was his idea that he put to SAF. SAF says he asked Edwards to ask for Cantona. Either way Leeds were willing to sell as long as it was quick so the fans couldn't stop it.

Day 7: The fiercest derby in each 7 continents.

In the intro you see Ziyech in Ajax shirt while talking about NOT panic buys, but I'm pretty sure he was. Ajax wasnt really interested in him until a couple of bad results and media pressure changed their minds.

Good subject HITC

Robben to Bayern is not a panic buy, its more of a panic sell by Madrid, and Bayern just efficiently (as always) swoop in when they feels the price is right.

Video idea: seven best players to come back from / out of retirement.

Day 33: Best 7 Caribbean Footballers of all time. (Had to either play for a Caribbean Nation or be born in the Caribbean and be uncapped)

Never, would I ever think Arjen Robben was a panic buy. Wow.

6:55 Is that Txiki Begiristain beside Rijkaard?

You forgot Sebastian Torrico in San Lorenzo. He came for two months and now he has 8 years at the club, he is 41 yo. He won Copa Libertadores with San Lorenzo.

Sami Hyypia was utterly world class and is so criminally underrated

Van der vart was a huge boost for spurs

if you ever watched robbem playing, you already know what good football is

Duuude, as a Dutch long time Barca fan, I remember how Davids changed that season. But I never ever heard anyone mention it ever after. Not even Henk Ten Cate, who loves to share inside stories from back in those days(like on what they thought of Messi before ever seeing him play, or once he noticed Ronaldinho bringing in prostitutes the night before a match. He let Ronnie know that he knew what was going, didn't tell Rijkaard anything. He even told Rijkaard to change Ronnie after he made two goals and looked tired). Well done, well done.

Ronnie Rozenthal. Liverpool made a panic buy of him in January. He scored 7 goals in 8 matches and bring a championship.

United only went for Eric Cantona after failing to sign David Hirst from Sheffield Wednesday, true story. Roy Keane vetoed the sale of Denis Irwin.

Bonaventura 😞😞 Great video

Cantona was signed and then it was 20 years of greatness for Manchester United from there!

Robben was bought to balance Bayern's wing play in order to stop relying on Ribery too much . How did he get a panic buy ?Van Gaal wanted him.

Players with the biggest cumulative transfer fees over their careers. Would suspect some perennial movers and surprise packages must be in their.

Can you do panic buy managers.
