I noticed a slight error in the video. Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole are good mates and get on really well, almost too well at their peak! There are a few tabloids stories from that time that claim their partnership combined to score off the field with a young lady! The Man United players who famously didn't get on but managed to maintain a total professionalism on the pitch were Andy Cole and Teddy Sherringham.

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

@@Reorganiser 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.

I definitely think cancelo should be ahead of Bowen, because he’s become world class on either side, and he didn’t cost us 60 million it was a swap deal with money added on that apparently didn’t even total to 60 million. It’s a very underrated and exceptional piece of business. Also Rodri deserves a shout too.

Nice video, but all of the teams mentioned are Super League teams so it gets a bit boarding hearing about how they thrived while other scraped just to hold it together. Who do you think got the best signing this past winter window signing for Jan 2022?

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

Small gripe but one I had to mention nonetheless as a Liverpool fan: when you said Alisson had close to no competition in 18/19 I would definitely say an honourable mention had to go to Fabinho, Imo since Fernandinho has aged and been less involved, Fabinho is the best DM in the league.

Pretty sure Coley and Yorke had a great friendship off the pitch and it was Sheringham and Coley that had the off field issues? Loving the content as always Alfie!

Didn't William Zaha have a brief spell at Manchester United but could break in to the first team then moved back to crystal place, or is that the Mandela effect in action?

Once again thanking Alfie for raving off about Bowen so I raved about him with my friends and now I look like a visionary.

No love for Martin Odegaard for 2021/22. I mean, he only unlocked the potential of a devastating albeit young Arsenal attack as well as became the team captain over his first full season while the Gunners have far exceeded anyone's wild expectations for this season. But hey, this is your show.

How about one where you list the best signings of the literal season they joined? A lot of these entries are included because they performed well in the years after signing, so the list is dominated by the top 4 or 5 clubs in England.
