The fact that Drinkwater cost more than Kante is simply mindblowing

*Danny Drinkwater..* reminding a generation to rehydrate! 🤣

Here's an Idea: considering that the Ballon d'Or was only given to European players until 1995, I think it would be cool for you to do a Ballon d'Or with all players until 1995. yes, France Football made a revised list, but I think it was a pretty lazy list just giving it to Pele a lot and the others in World Cup years. so I think this is a good idea

Crapyoko should have been on here for costing 40 million and having the sole purpose of being utterly useless. His various loan moves failed and we'd be lucky to sell him for 10-15 million. Performance wise Morata could have been picked if not for the fact that Marina somehow managed to swindle Atletico into paying 60 mil for him.

I was shocked Ross Barkley isn't on this list even as an honourable mention.

GG for not jumping into the bandwagon and putting torres on the list because of stats and that.. Man may not be a hit but he put everything for team everytime he played and had some crucial performance for them..

I’m still wondering how a person of Drinkwater’s ability managed anything above 15 million, let alone almost double that.

A bit too soon to write off Kepa. Especially when theres quite a few names you can select. He looks way more confident under Tuchel so who knows what's going to happen to him!

Werner: a striker who rarely scores but when he plays Chelsea look better

As a Chelsea Season Ticket Holder I feel this list can be easily doubled: Marko Marin, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Juan Cuadrado, Matt Miazga, Yossi Benayoun, Papy Djilobodji. We made huge losses on one-seasons withFelipe Luis and Khalid Boulahrouz as well despite okayish performances. Andrej Kezman won Roman his first trophy but had an awful one-seaaon at the club as well!

Little story for you all. My old high school chemistry teacher was actually Steve Sidwell’s godfather, and was in the room when he made his decision to move to Chelsea. Basically, he knew he was never going to play but he knew he was going to make more money in the one season he was planning on being there than he would for the rest of his career. So he made the decision to join them because he wanted his mum and dad to never have to worry financially again. Plus it was something like a 150% pay increase from what he was getting at Reading, which you’d be bonkers to turn down.

under tuchel kepa has been solid and hes stepped up in big moments especially penalty shootouts for example the super cup which we on and the europa league semi final which we also went on to win so although he might never repay his fee hes much more than just an average backup and is actually quite an important part of the squad.

It’s a weird thing , u cant really say anyone made a mistake with Veron he had been brilliant in Italy. It’s just a complete mystery why he didn’t work in the Prem.

Lol Danny Drinkwater. Not only one of Chelsea's worst signings but also Villa's. We had him on loan from Chelsea and he was an absolute embarrassment. Couldn't send him back quick enough!

Some of these prices paid do really show how inflated prices have become in the past decade with players that struggle to get games going for far more than some of the best of the past two decades.

"Danny Drinkwater" sounds like something Ronaldo would say to him if he was his team captain and he saw him drinking a coke....

It's amazing how similar the Timo Werner/Kai Havertz deals were to the Shevchenko/Ballack ones. Both strikers failed to live up to their expectations, whilst Havertz and Ballack have been compared before, and, let's face it, Havertz will probably spend about as much time at Chelsea as Ballack did, but regardless, will be a big player for the team.

Could you please do a video on Belenenses in Portugal? 🇵🇹 Historically one of the strongest teams outside of the très grandes, yet the original club are in the 5th division and the break away club and currently bottom of the first.

I've been a Chelsea girl all my life, and I remember the evening when we got taken over. Wasn't quite able to anticipate what followed. We've had a few disappointments since then, but Mateja Kezman was one of the biggest due to the goal tally he amassed previously at PSV (yes, yes... I know... Eredivisie, but still...). Khalid Bouhlarouz was another one that escaped a mention in spite of being utterly useless x

Kepas form has turned around under tuchel. Before last night he’s prevented +9.1 xg under tuchel

Some of these entries are strange ones. Drinkwater, Zappacosta etc. never had a bad game for us, they were just unfashionable and didn’t fit into/couldn’t break into the system very well. Batshuayi is another one while Baba Rahman was incredibly unlucky with injuries.

The kepa slander is crazy

Damn it’s 1:00am over here in California never thought I’d catch one of your videos this early 😂. Love the videos 💯 🙌

Ah Mustafi... As an Arsenal fan I had just managed to block out the fact that we ever signed him until you bought him back up! 😂

when Kepa plays now, he’s really a top top goalkeeper, just way too big of a fee for an unproven player at the time

Can't wait for the same video for Newcastle in five years!!

Me : I enjoyed this video alot, thanks for the asking the considerable time to make it for our enjoyment. Comments section : " do Moldovan 2nd Division grounds in order of best car park lighting"

"im not one too slag off players" lmaooo 30 seconds after throwing unecessary digs at Mustafi

Great content keep up

Can you do a documentary on the afc Wimbledon on the nine promotions in eleven years, how they’re a fan own club and how they have a stadium in plough lane now. The story of they lost the club, how the F A allowed that and won’t allow that anymore. How they went up the English football leagues.

I love your videos 🙏🏼👍🏼

Do one for Liverpool under FSG

Drinkwater for Leicester was incredible. His range of passing was insane. I can see why Chelsea bought him, but it's such a shame that he's ended up rotting on the bench. I'd happily take him at Wolves.

I think Kepa being on here is quite harsh for him. The circumstances surrounding his arrival are extremely against Chelsea - Courtois suddenly wanted to move to Real Madrid, a weird transfer deadline day that summer (10 August instead of 31 August - Kepa arrived only 2 days before that), and other Chelsea goalkeepers (a 36-year-old Caballero, a 38-year-old Robert Green, and an academy goalkeeper). Because of Courtois's departure, with very few available options on the market, they have to pay Bilbao's astronomical release clause to buy him. And now, despite his form under Tuchel, but with Mendy in goal, he will never be able to justify his price tag and wage.

Please do a video about the Portuguese 'club' , 'Belenenses SAD' , that recently went to a game with only 9 players against Benfica .Its a 'fake' club playing in the First League , but the 'Original' club had to start in the Non League Portuguese Football .

At least Chelsea have owners who make signings. Ffs Spurs went a whole year without buying anyone, and we didn’t even have a transfer ban. And our recruitment had been dog arse. We actually paid money for Vincent Janssen and Ndombele

Who else didn't expect to hear Mustafi's name in this video?

How is Torres not on this list

At least Mutu was the best player in the league for a month. Veron never did anything. Kezman seemed worse too.

I'd have Bakayoko over Drinkwater personally. I suppose you could say the loan fees tallied for him overtime cut the losses better than Drinkwater, but my life he was SO BAD! And like Drinkwater there should've been no illusions about what we were getting, he was clearly the weak link of that 16/17 Monaco team & everyone saw it except our scouts apparently.

alfie switching up the outro i see it boss

I think the bigger point with Veron is that Chelsea had been able to see Veron's struggles in the PL with United and still chose to sign him

For all the hype you would have to say Shevchenko who was a monster at AC Milan but it simply didn't work out for him at Chelsea.

Kepa being on this list is a bit silly.

While those were some Chelsea flops maybe this video idea wont be. Day 10: Top 7 second/amateur teams in football (Hertha BSC II which almost won the DFB Pokal, Real Madrid Castilla who lost to their first team in the spanish cup in 1980 but got into Europe, Wellington Phoenix Reserves who play in the NZ National League)

'Satanic Santa Claus' 🤣

What happened to the "... should you wish to do so" at the end🤔

I saw the Thumbnail and thought it was Jenson Button...lol. I was like "Wait Button drove for McClaren when Chelsea sponsored Sauber"

After Kepa’s performances this season, this video isn’t going to age well

Abramovich's worst signing was Michael Emenalo as Technical Director (Notice him popping up in the photos). Good luck Newcastle. Emenalo signed Michael Hector. Reading 54 (3) 2009 → Bracknell Town (loan) 3 (0) 2009 → Didcot Town (loan) 3 (0) 2010 → Havant & Waterlooville (loan) 1 (0) 2010 → Oxford City (loan) 6 (0) 2010-2011 → Horsham (loan) 11 (1) 2011 → Dundalk (loan) 11 (2) 2011-2012 → Barnet (loan) 27 (2) 2012 → Shrewsbury Town (loan) 8 (0) 2012-2013 → Aldershot Town (loan) 8 (1) 2013 → Cheltenham Town (loan) 20 (1) 2013-2014 → Aberdeen (loan) ** 2015-2019 Four years "at Chelsea": ZERO APPEARANCES 2015-2016 → Reading (loan) 26 (1) 2016-2017 → Eintracht Frankfurt (loan) 22 (1) 2017-2018 → Hull City (loan) 36 (1) 2018-2019 → Sheffield Wednesday (loan) 37 (2) Sold to Fulham for an undisclosed fee. 2019- Fulham 21 (0)

Chelsea’s worst 7 sales would be a good video. De Bruyne Lukaku Salah robben etc

Could you do a video about Chelsea's 7 best academy graduates

Adrian Mutu was an absolute killer signing on FM (or CM as it probably was) when he was still at Parma. I think it's kind of tragic what happened to him. Yes, he shouldn't have been doing coke, but the damages he had to pay were beyond anything I can remember from any football scandal. As an example, Juve were fined €75,000 for the match fixing that got them relegated and stripped of titles. Which Mutu was also there for, by coincidence

14:36 Youri Djorkaeff?? He never played for Chelsea and was a Bolton legend, and as I recall pretty decent wherever he played.

do one for man City I can think of a few gai assulin, Nolito, bravo, mangala, savic, bony, Fernando, jo you'll have to come with a longer list lol

as a Leicester fan, when the news broke that we got 35 mil for Drinkwater, every Leicester fan saw the Does He Know? meme flash before their eyes.

7 best players who refused call ups to the AFCON ? Idea comes from watching the Napoli Vs Fiorentina game were both Faouzi Ghoulam and Alfred Duncan for either side respectively. Barcelona's youngster Ez Abde refused to represent Morocco to. Joel Matip maybe ? ..Hakim Ziyech? Would be a cool video 👍👍

Alfie violated kepa with the kit kat arms comment, ngl werent expecting.

Is it just me or does it feel like HITC SEVENS will surpass HITC SPORTS before the end of the year? I subscribed when this channel had just a little over 200,000 subscribers, and though I may not agree with Alfie's political views (I'm Nigerian and Christian hence incredibly conservative), but I still enjoy the videos a lot. I think Alfie has made me into a football hipster of sorts (borrowing the Irish Guy's words 😅).

Shitting on the city as we goooooooo

Hey man! I have an idea for you (IDK if you have already done it but if you have it would be nice for an update) 7 best academies in world football

A key figure in our 0-7 drubbing by Fulham the other night was old Danny.

Great video! (I'm a Chelsea fan) You're gobbling-up the end of your paragraphs again though...The sing-song up & down cadence causes some of your words to be lost mate.

Can you do Tottenham’s 7 worst signings under ENIC please Alfie?

“His role in two European titles” conveniently ignoring Kepa winning us the UEL, Super Cup, now taking us to the EFL Cup final. Lakaka should be there instead of Kepa

Drinkwater's transfer is the universe balancing itself for Chelsea getting Kante of us for £30m.

Hahaha!!!This is an extremely so important topic indeed,good friends!!!:-D

But harsh in kepa hes very very good Struggles with long shots and had a bad 8 months

"Shaykodran Mustafi" lol

I think people have (surprisingly...) missed the point of the video. It isn't a video about which players are the worst regarding performance, but instead the worst signing - price tag, sell on value, etc are also included as well as performance. Yeah Kepa has had a few good games recently. That doesn't take away from the fact he cost more than the likes of Alisson, was poor when he played, got displaced from the team after two seasons and will have around 50% sell-on value. He's a poor signing.

What about a video on" The Rise of Jarett Bowen"

“Kit-kat arms”! Hahahahahaha

Danny Drinkwater can be included in the same video dedicated to Aston Villa 😆

I think Marko Marin deserves a mention he was regarded as a better player than Ozil when he joined he flopped every time he played even out on loan as well.

How it took 15 mins to mention the name of Romelu Lukaku I don't know 😅😅

Wright Philip's, Drinkwater, Marin, Mutu , Boulahrouz, Kezman spring to mind

I think the Steve Sidwell and Maurinho oddity would've been a more interesting story...

Do the " 7 Worst Signings of Chelsea From Each Season" next!!!

This video exposes the lunacy of football economics.

I burst out laughing at kit Kat arms 😂

Imagine if Drogba ans Eto'o played together in their prime. Would be a great what if

kit-kat arms made me laugh

The fact that this list does not have Bakayoko on it is alarming. He is by far the worst player I have seen in a Chelsea shirt. His performance away at Watford was so bad, it was almost performance art.

anyone can remember Pierluigi Casiraghi, came with huge reputation and scored only a goal for Chelsea then injured against West Ham game which destroyed his career.

Ex Genoa manager for goodness sake Alfie why can't you see into the future.

Morata at least paid back somehow, financially. Torres flopped (45 goals for 50 mil) but his performances in the UCL 2012 and UEL 2013 can mask that. Bakayoko.... Oh dear... He forgot football after signing for Chelsea.

damn bruh wild to think SWP playing for Chelsea, as a city fan I know no idea he made 125 for them, wild.

Drinkwater was outstanding in the title winning team at Leicester , he was also outstanding in the Champions League the following season , he and Kante were a fantastic double act , Drinkwater's passing was superb . At Chelsea he wasn't really given a run of games alongside Kante . 🦊🦊👍

please do TP Mazembe 2010 club World Cup please I’m sure people would love that story

Day 40: Best Players With Two Surnames XI

Kepa is not bad but that price are still too much

Day 332: Ways to fix VAR with your suggestions

The inclusion of Kepa definitely sparks debate. Smart move Phil

Danny Drinkwater - Was class at Leicester City team. He was a simple player, Chelsea was a Rush Move. KEPA - Is too soon.

‘Juring’ ‘Juring’ ‘Juring’ ‘Juring’ - HITC SEVENS guy

Every Premier League teams best bargain

SWP and kepa are harsh, both not great signings but actually contributed towards winning trophies, and kepa can still turn it around. Off the top of my head, £10m for Scott Parker, £18m for Yuri Zhirkov, £40m for Bakayoko and £50m for Fernando Torres are all contenders to replace them (torres mostly due to the price and that miss vs man United)

I totally disagree with Kepa being in that list. He took time and could not settle in, some Players do. I think he has been given an unfair deal since. But since he has taken over from Mendy, due to that AFCON, I would say Kepa has saved Chelsea a few times and has not made any mistakes and been outstanding, when he has been given the chance to play. If you want to talk bad Goalkeeper signings and I know he is not an Abramovich signing, but who remembers the nightmare of Mark Bosnich and David Beasant.

Chelsea will forever regret not giving certain players like KDB and Salah chances.
