That’s exactly what I was thinking when he said that, literally the most true statement in this whole KZfaq video.

Mate I’m with reev.. yes haaland is a robot but city are second. The way United and Newcastle have transformed their form around due to botman, Casemiro and a couple of other key players. They deserve to be high in the list, the impact is felt more with these players than with haaland.

That is true, but Haaland is still miles ahead. We're talking about possibly the best signing in English football, Casemiros decent performances for 70 million don't come close

Yeah they are good , but I don't think even think they could come close the performances of Haaland.

@@ironheade22 what about botman being the best defender in a team that are the best premier league defence since like 2000s chelsea

the thing is, if haaland had gone to arsenal, united or newcastle. It wouldn't even be an argument that hes the best signing. Its just being debated here because he joined the team that was already the best in the prem.

So you agree botman has been a better signing than haaland? Don’t be silly

He's spot on tbh

@@sury9500 it’s because since he came in not much has changed at city, it’s just that other players are scoring less so he can score more

Ball knowledge 🧠

Ball knowledge was on point until top 3, then it plummeted further than West Ham have in the table

Man city last year after 20 games (49 goals and 50 point) Man city this year after 20 games (53 goals and 45 points) Haaland has essentially made no difference. The argument of his teammates having a bad year? I my opinion if he is an elite signing he should make everyone around him better which clearly isn't the case!! Love the content!!

Common oliver W

Justice for palhinha, casemiro, botman… Reev your ball knowledge is on point

Yeah and on that investment, how much has the player impacted his club as a return on said investment. The impact is judged upon (quality of player+performance)

@@deec.9575 £51.2 million transfer fee for Haaland. He’s already “earned that back” and we’re only halfway through the season. IF he were to leave in 3/4/5 years, the transfer fee would be at LEAST £100 million. Nothing but profit (through goals/titles or money) whether he stays or goes. Best bit of business by far.

@@GreasyGoon If he were to leave now it would be north of $150M.

even then reev is undermining haaland so much. So far the guy has played 19 games and scored in 15 of them. He only didnt score against liverpool chelsea united (2nd time) and brentford. In all of those games the guy didn't even get a chance because city weren't creating well. he's also severely overrating casemiro and botman as signings. While they've had a massive impact, they are one of five different signings that both teams made. Lisandro Eriksen Antony Malacia Casemiro, and Botman Burn Pope Bruno Guimaraes and Isak. Haaland is basically city's only first team signing.

Haaland was bought for a quarter of what he's worth

They never get a look in for ballon dor and other best player of year awards like midfielders wingers and forwards

@@jacknelson927 It's just simply harder to measure the impact of a single defender because a defense also falls on the shoulders of each and every defender in the team including the goalkeeper and also the manager who develops the tactics. So it's almost impossible to tell. It's just basically all eye test. Not saying I agree that defenders shouldn't be considered for ballon d'ors but there is an explanation of why that is.

@@houdinilinguine It's also underlooked because it's just not glamorous. Despite how vital and transformative great defensive work can be it's aesthetically unpleasing unless you're Maldini and people are excited about great goals, not great defending.

From who exactly ? Gundo , Bernardo, Foden , Cancelo are all off from.

@@mattiknowyourmum7521 There's surely a reason for that though maybe they've had to change how they play to suit Haaland. I don't know man

@@TheRandomDudee that doesn't make sense. Was Haaland playing with them at the world cup ? ,because they were off it while playing for their countries as well.

Son and Salah have not scored this season. Just because you scored in the previous season doesnt mean you will score next season. The argument saying others would score Haalands goals is so BS.

Agree.

just not a good one

I think he has a very reasonable argument. The best signing can be determined based on factors like money spent and how the player impacted his team. This is why Antony at Utd has been called a flop so far because even though he has impacted Utd in certain ways, it’s not worth the money spent of him. Similarly, Haaland has scored SO much already but City are still second in the league. Haaland has the best performance but his impact isn’t as strong as someone like Casemiro’s

@@deec.9575 city fucked up, haaland is a crazy diff play style to what city like and grealish on top of that wins fouls all the time, stoping play allowing defences to reset, another massive downfall to city this season, Casemiro is easily the best signing in football this season, strangely followed by martinez and Jesus and zinchemko all tied second in my opinion

This aged well

Broke the prem goal record for 60 mill who was wrong then lol

Haaland has not improved city. lets make that perfectly clear. they are scoring the same number of goals as before. so...why was he a good signing? Yes, he is a goalscoring machine, but all he does is take goals off other players. A good transfer is a transfer that improves the club. Haaland does not do that.

@@HarryOKane123 there is no player that can go to city and drastically improve the squad. because they were already the best in the country. If haaland went to newcastle, man united, or arsenal. thered be no debate hes the best signing. Also haaland has improved the squad. The issues are at the back not the front. cancelo is out of form, dias, laporte and walker always having injury issues

Haaland wouldn’t score as much in those places theres no kdb feeding him

If not*

He’s good but not even the best defender on his team so…

is he not the guy who conceded 4 to brentford, 6 to city, 3 to villa all while playing in one of the deepest back lines itl?

​@@sharkfinn7234 one of the deepest lines in the league? Are you smoking crack?

@@jackgillin612 VARANE isn’t a new signing tho

Theo and that beard bloke dont know nothing

Now that city have won the treble who you reckon was signing of that season?

Giroud would be scoring double figures in that city team. Not taking anything from haaland, he is insane. The point is about impact you have in a team. Haaland hasn't taken city to a new level imo, but he was what they needed (and more) and 100% a top 3 signing.

@@sim0lation748 chatting rubbish , City wouldn't be able to play those though defense cutting through balls to Giruod cause he's got no pace. Giroud wouldn't start for city.

@@sim0lation748 Aguero, one of the greatest strikers in EPL history, never came close to Haaland's level? Why didn't he score that many in Man City if it was so easy?

@@mattiknowyourmum7521 mate haaland has one of the slowest accelerations i’ve seen in football it’s got nothing to do with pace and giroud would do the exact same thing

@@abuhassan8849 aguero had more to his game than haaland does. he scored a lot more than tap ins and could actually take on defenders

City being worse is because of players going out and injuries. Most of these other players have another signing that helps them as well

@@004TOBY no it's not. De bruyne foden mahrez gundogan and Bernardo silva goal tally have all gone down massively because the majority of the time they force the ball to haaland

De bruyne has 3/4 prem goals this season for example

@@mlg-antz2365 While he is on his way to beat the assist record, youre so dumb

@@limpan9999 i said his goal scoring did I mention assists

I know some people shouldn’t be allowed to talk about football at all

Ahlie

It's honestly such a good point he made though, not even god could have the same impact in terms of spots climbed on the table than Sven has, it's impossible... which is why it's silly Reev used it as his main argument. Plus, Sven hasn't even done it himself. It's honestly just quite a silly argument

Why? Kane has 16 goals at this spurs team that is struggling… 16. Put him in that city team and he is also around 20-25 goals too. Defenders are grossly overlooked

Haaland has not improved city. Lets make that perfectly clear. They are scoring the same number of goals as before. So...why was he a good signing? Yes, he is a goalscoring machine, but all he does is take goals off other players.

Its because ten years from now none is going to be watching every game to se who made a bigger impact but one glance at the stats will show you haalands goals.

Yeah but rating transfers has to be based on their impact to the team. It's debatable that City would be better without him where as Botman has improved Newcastle dramatically.

@@HarryOKane123and also wins them a treble..

@@hellohi1445 Yeah cause he was so key in the finals....

yep definitely aged well didn’t it

Do you still back this?

Exactly. Theo can be really annoying when he lifts his nose up

Should have heard what the other guy said... U have the opportunity to bring a team from bottom half to the first half... How much can haaland improve man city if they were defending champ..

Since when does the number of spots climbed on the table determine a single players impact? Newcastle have changed hands and Manchester United hired a new manager, nearly the whole of the teams themselves have been restructured so how can you put all their success on one player? That is just downright silly.

By that logic no player city sign would be an improvement since they already won the league without them 🤡.

@@mattiknowyourmum7521 Exactly, it makes no sense. That's why Tom made the argument that even if City signed God he couldn't win signing of the year.

exactly, so why is it a Reev L when you just agreed that "best signing shouldn't always be most goals scored"

Terrible take even 6 months ago.

Because city at the time needed a striker, so they brought one in and he had the best individual season a striker has ever had in the premier league and won the treble in his first season

That’s just so different though

This argument doesn't work at all. City can't climb up 5 places from last season . They were 1st

@@dionb7584 in this case we would consider that same jump as being comfortable in first place but they’re not even in first

@@dionb7584 not exactly like that but u get what i mean, if newcastle go from 9th to third then whoever they signed has helped them more
