Some of these are good players signing for the wrong club at the wrong time. Lukaku to Chelsea made no sense, as they'd just sold Tammy Abraham who would have done no worse for a lot less cash. Van de Beek and Sancho were exceptional talents before joining Manchester United, which I think has more to do with the club than the players. A huge part of the problem is big clubs wanting to be seen to make high profile signings irrespective of the squad (Chelsea and Man U are the obvious culprits) so as to bolster their global image. Remember also that a few years ago, Dom Solanke would have been included in this list, so there's hope yet for some. Oh, and please do an investigation into the way that amortization has fuelled grossly inflated transfer fees and ridiculously long-term contracts. Have a great 2024, Alfie.

Grealish gets an unfair amount of criticism tbh. Like all other players, Grealish was not the one who deemed him worth 100mill. I will never understand why people make transfer fees the players fault. Secondly, Guardiola has changed Grealish's game to fit the system. He started to take less risks and became much more defensively sound, tracking back and covering the fullbacks. This is why at the start of the season and up until recently, Grealish was preferred over Doku in the big games. Just look at the 4-4 game Vs Chelsea. Doku was at fault for 3 goals, and after that Grealish started all of the champions league games.

Ajax is a club that develops young players, so they are supposed to be better at 22 years old than at 19, the fact that you are able to read numbers does not make the numbers reflect his development. Manchester United is such a mismanaged club that it had to get him a year too early, so he wasn't ready yet, from Ajax that wasn't ready to sell yet. So you overpay about 20 million relative to a matured Antony one year later for a player that at that point in time was worth 20 million less, so that makes a 40 million loss compared to a proper squad policy. On top of that you give that player a bad start making him having to recover from a struggle.

[@juliushibbert1091]

Antony is included on the list because he gets clicks and comments from uneducated people saying he’s “invisible”, “shite” and “awful… let’s have a quick comparison between Antony and Grealish in their first Manchester seasons: Antony - 8 goals in 44 appearances - I’d say that’s reasonable for a player in a new league. Grealish gets 6 in 39 games and only scored 5 last season - he also cost almost £20m more and peps trying to replace him with Doku already after 2 seasons. Antony is fashionable to hate on by the brainless

[@denyrachmatramdhanynew2894]

You could've put Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo on the list of Premier League worst transfer ever since 2020. Chelsea's performance is still unstable and has not moved from the bottom of the table. And often reap minor results. Is it possible that Chelsea's dark period will happen again like last season?

[@user-kl3pw6gn9r]

I guess the length of their contracts and that they haven't been horrendous is probably why, but they are part of a very mediocre Chelsea team, and haven't been good enough to make the difference (Grotesquely expensive rbf)

[@UzairAli-fn6tz]

Enzo and caicedo are two of the best talents in world football its just that chelsea is in such a mess that they haven't been at their best

[@Alfie_1]

He said it would be harsh to put in anyone in the last 12 months, and Enzo Fernandez was signed in Jan, and Caicedo over the summer. Very possible that they would be in a year or two.

[@T33K4Y96]

Chelsea stability has nothing to do with them as player and them being signed. One played under Potter and Lampard, and the other's 4 months into an injury stricken team that hasn't gelled yet under a manager with no clue what he's doing either. If you weren't picking easy targets you'd say Sterling bcs he's a senior PL experience player on 350k pw that's at the center of the team's struggle for goals the entire time those two have been at Chelsea

[@rheinhardtgrafvonthiesenha8185]

I know this doesn’t include people within the last 12 months but Onana is literally the worst keeper I’ve ever seen at any paid level. He looks like an outfield player who had to put the gloves on. Even when he makes a save it looks absurd. I can’t even believe he’s a professional

[@trejt]

Chelsea have had mostly disastrous transfers for the last 5 years, but Lukaku wasn’t worth his fee because he didn’t fit in with their style as it had been for a while: low scoring games with a great defense. I think of the likes of Timo Werner, who was incapable of scoring unless the ball bounced off his ass into the goal and how many times does that happen in a season. They recruited Kai Havertz at the same time and he, too, though able to score if there was no time to consider missing, only racked up 4-6 goals even when for some reason (height?) he played as a striker. Why Arsenal thought he would score for them I have no idea but he’s done no better and is the worst transfer I’ve seen happen under MA. Mason Mount was adored by pundits and every Chelsea manager for reasons I never understood. He isn’t a good shooter, he doesn‘t have great passer’s vision, I never understood the pedestal they put him on but at MU he has played (when he plays) just like back at Chelsea and his productive output is minimal.

[@veler6049]

I'm a Chelsea fan and I agree. I can't get why every manager and pundit thought Mount was Lampard reincarnated.

[@bodelieriwan2773]

Mostly agree with your videos, but I have to disagree with two things: As a Dutchman, idk which games in particular you watched, Anthony had not the reputation to make it in the premier league at all. He had a few good games in the ucl, but the general opinion was that the sum payed to Ajax was a gift to Ten Haags former club (no joke =) ) Fabio silva too is an excellent player who showed that when linked up with quick players like Xavi Simons, he can excel. He has not played in that role and with the same players he did in Eindhoven. I agree with every other player in your list tho! Great video!

[@RyuzakiTaiyou]

Best German players in the premier league of all time. (Day 589) I will not give up until the video is made or Alfie himself tells me to stop. Everyone else telling me that will be ignored. If you don't believe my number, just go back to the previous videos. I'm at the bottom most of the time, but I'm there.

I'm convinced transfers like Lukaku, Auba, Sancho are just for laundering money. Passing players between clubs, no intention of keeping them and hand them back to parent club and the player wages are collateral to keep the players quiet.
