Correct on every Count Fella ……. 👍🏿

I thought that was what happened too, although I'm no United fan. I know Teddy didn't get on with Cole, I always put it down to the fact they were both dickheads 😁

I was a bit puzzled about that, but left it as it was so long ago. But yes, now that you mentioned it, I do remember Cole and Sherringham not getting along.

Yep, Cole and Yorke were besties - even played together at Blackburn Rovers after they left Man U.

I did watch a video of Yorke and Cole’s friendship being known.

They definitely got the best of him. He was never super prolific at Atletico, so it was a pretty big surprise to everyone at how much of a boss he became in those first couple of seasons. He then famously "dropped off", but he didn't, he reverted to his usual standard.

@@thebigbop5866 How do you know he didn't actually step up in his game but just couldnt adjust his qualities to the new surroundings at Chelsea? After all he also managed to replicate his tremendous form for the spanish national team during the time he spent at Liverpool

@@dontmindme6995 No he was never a beast for the Spanish national team either, during Euro 2008 there was a lot of concern over him all of the other top rated players were performing the best they ever were but he had yet to put the ball in the back of the net, backup Dani Guiza had scored 3 on route to the final and looked arguably a better option. Thankfully, Torres broke his duck by scoring the singular goal in the final, but he was never "the man". He was either "the future" or just another good cog in a finely oiled machine. And besides, for 6 months before the Chelsea move he had already fallen off. It was a 2 season purple patch, then he reverted to the mean.

@@thebigbop5866 First of all tbf it was hard to be "the man" in that spanish team considering only Messi could just about be "the man" at Barca next to Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol etc. . But I've seen players being absolutely oustanding for a year or two, then drop off massively and hav a comeback a few years later. Anthony Modeste at Cologne is such an example, as he was about as good 4 years ago as he is now, but had a poor spell of seasons in betweem. With footballers at that level, it's about wether the surroundings fit or not to get the player in good form. Sometimes the player doesnt feel like he could archieve enough with set conditions around him. Currently Messi is a good example of how different conditions benefit or in that case worsen output which leads to people believe they have a drop off, but actually it's just conditions that cant get the best out of players

@@dontmindme6995 I'm sorry but people have a habit of losing themselves in "mania", there was definitely a "Torresmania" in the premier league and particularly Liverpool for a few seasons, but that wasn't his standard. You talk about bad conditions, well the flip side is good conditions. Torres walking into Liverpool was ideal for him, the team was set up to build up to someone who could be fed the ball in good positions, they had bern trying to make life ideal for a number 9 for at least 2 years before he arrived, Dirk Kuyt was supposed to be the original Torres, but he turned out not to be that prolific but an immensely hard worker. Torres was always a better finisher than Kuyt, so he thrived in a team that was built to feed someone. Torres had a purple patch, people lost themselves in saying "this is who the player is", whilst followers of Spanish football were extremely surprised at the newly reinvented Torres who scored goals for fun, that was never his game before. He was 24 when he joined Pool, still a young enough age to turn it all around, Shearer at one time didn't score many goals for Southampton then went to Blackburn and lit it up for the rest of his career, so it happens, Lewandowski didn't really get going for a few years either, but Torres only had 2 and a half seasons of that, then he began to resemble again the type of player he always was, he was always more of an auxiliary/supporting forward, not the main man. Torres was always the same kind of player, but deceived the world by playing out of his skin at Liverpool for a few seasons, many didn't see him until he joined the PL and that's what they thought he was like, but he wasn't until then, and eventually reassumed his previous trajectory. Lewandowski and Shearer once they got going being prolific that's who they became, when Torres started being prolific it was a very out of character run that eventually ran out of steam.

The only way is up now tho baby, least we wasn’t terrible for 30 years, people only got what, 1 season out of us?

@@Johndoe-gf7eu who got one season out of who

United we’re just too good.

Yeah 1998-99 seems to be a rare blunder on this channel missing Stam and seeing Cole and Yorke as not being friends. Happens to the best of us.

Stam was the league's best defender those 3 seasons at man utd

Love the video idea, but don't agree with Jay Jay being the better signing.

Maguire😎

One of My Favourite Premier League Players Ever Bro …. 🔥. ⚽️

Who brought more success to the club is the criteria

No way in hell is anything Jay-Jay did for Bolton as good as what Ferdinand did at Man United. He was a top lad, but he was never a better signing. Was a better value signing? Yes. Better overall? No.

Erik Lamela, not amazing either, but lasted a few years and certainly had his moments.

I actually would argue that he was an amazing signing, as he was absolutely worldclass for Spurs at least in my books. Still amazes me how they could let go of him for anything less than 60 million quid. Imagine him in that attacking line nie at Spurs next to Kane, Son and Kulusevski. Quite the underrated player IMO

@@thebigbop5866 He could've been a solid option if we wasn't made of glass.

Eriksen was and arguably is a world class midfielder

@@aryamanmani4025 He was a strange one. When he was fit he was a tank. When he was fit...

Wenger and Sir Alex’s eye for talent was unmatched

@@thomascorbett9265 ever heard of Eric Djemba Djemba, Bebe, Taibi, Richard Wright, Andre Santos, Gervinho, Chamakh? They made some decent signings, but they spent a lot of money, let's not gas them up.

@@kiriakoz almost like that’s the best he could do with The Kroenke’s giving him peanuts

Just coz old mate thinks they r the best doesn't mean they r...... FYI zola signing much better than Vieira but.......

@@joehunt390 Zola is not "much better" than Vieira. Zola was more skillful and better to watch but Vieira was a central cog to Arsenal winning 3 titles, 4 FA Cups & making a Champions League Final. To say Zola is much better is to misunderstand both players roles. I am old enough to remember both and I'm also a West Ham fan so not biased, London rivals to both teams.

Tim Cahil for £1.5 million.

Maybe an exclusion of a top 6?

Unintentional or not you just called Crystal Palace the galaticos.

Yea but they bottled it as usual.. Europa league here we go 😂⚽

Eriksen

Agreed. And he didn't even get a mention.... Madness

😂😂

Also Gabriel Martinelli for 6 million pounds should be the signing of 19/20 instead of Bowen.

I was at that game too.. Amazing.. I remember it like it was yesterday.. Good Times

And worst!

Honestly for me, salah puts fear into defenders because as you can see in some highlights he can create and make goals out of nothing whereas i agree that without vvd, liverpool's defence would be shambolic Its hard to make the case between one or the other as both are intregal to LFC's dominance Coming from a city fan

Recency bias has the bamboozling cases of Mahrez & Kante cases. Overlooking a gem like this is I guess understanble

Bloody hate eachother haha

Well said Fella

"Who de heck is that feckin langer Brooks?" is a one thing would Keano defo say. 😁

No no no Cristiank Ronaldo is

Theirry Henry

@@benserkowski4663 shut up

Pascal Cygan

No, it's Lord Harry Maguire

Alex oxlade chamberlain

Great shout!

Jack Wilshere.

I’d argue Diaz has taken Liverpool to another level though. Ramsdale has been very good, but honestly he seems to be as error prone as Leno, an improvement but nothing massive. And while Jose Sa has been good, I feel their defensive improvement is a far larger reflection of the new manager. Both still great signings ofc, and I do still understand the point about different time scales

@@alfielee2989 Agreed that Diaz has had a major impact Specially In Intense Moments But You can also argue that Liverpool without him would had done Same as doing with him Jose Sa Has saved 10+ goals Postshots Expected While Ramsdale Slightly error prone yes but his Attitude and Calmness is a big step up for Arsenal For me Both have had greater impact than Diaz And when Time is considered They have to take The Top spot for me

Yes you can compare 4 months to 8 when there are 4 trophies at stake.

Ødegaard joined Arsenal on a permanent deal in the summer. Could very well be considered the best signing of 21/22 in a few years.

All a little irrelevant given Gabriel Martinelli was signed that year for 6 million pounds, and is my clear choice over Cancelo or Bowen.

@@tristanbass-krueger7195 Martinelli has been really good for the first half of this season. Let’s see if he can keep it up before we crown him as #1

@@Sproles11 Was great last season too, altho fair enough I suppose Bowen was more prolific. I have no doubt that Martinelli will prove it.

Is Egypt in the Middle East?

Nobody wanted Cantona. The only reason Leeds had him was because nobody in France wanted him, despite his successes. He was a world class dick.

SAF himself said Schmeichel was the best bargain he ever made. 500.000£ for a (future) Euro Cup winning goalie isnt bad

Cantona is one of my all time favorites, but dude was pretty hard to handle. Maybe that was why

@@rwalker0130 Or needed handling in the right way. Alex Ferguson did, Howard Wilkinson struggled despite him helping Leeds to the final Div 1 title. Cantona might like Kante be the best signing in 2 successive top-flight seasons.

He has arsenal agenda

No

@@lordbendtner6404 Arsenal agenda but having so many Arsenal players in the earlier parts of this video despite having so much competition with United??

Gotta remember that some of the signings on this list were only the best signing of the season in hindsight. Ronaldo didnt have an immediate impact and was outshined by Rooney for a few years. If Alfie redoes this video in 10 years Ødegaard or Ramsdale might take the 21/22 spot, but for now Diaz has apparently impressed him more

@@minnumseerrund that's the thing. Odegaard HAS had an immediate impact. He's been arguably the best player on a team who're probably going to finish top 4

He never made the big time at Liverpool

He was so greedy sometimes. But then again, the team was shit 😂

Longevity* :) But agreed, not taking KDB is wtf.

Not disputing that there are bound to be some inconsistencies, but my logic for picking Kanté was primarily because of his role in Leicester winning the title, which I don't think would have been possible without him. Can totally understand arguments in favour of Suarez in 10-11 and KDB in 15-16 though.

Because Kante at Leicester achieved something that is unprecedented. Unheard of and dismissed as impossible. De Bruyne was already Bundesliga POTY and commanded a huge fee. Kante was unknown before the move, and his impact was instant.

@@HITCSevens cheers for replying and cheers for all your great content!

@@HITCSevens Thanks for the reply. Coming to think off it, fair enough. It isn't really that exaggerating to chose Kante as i believed it to be the first time i heard it...

Zaha? Kante in 15/16? Bowen? Plus, many honorable mentions were to non-Big 6 clubs.

Keep dreaming bocah

You would be spot on Bro ……..
