‘Rice won a European trophy’, Alexis won the World Cup. Feel for Garrett having to work in these conditions

[@carlkirwan2900]

He also finished 6th with Brighton where as Rice almost got relegated but they just ignore that because they are so biased towards Arsenal

[@dragndorf9]

garrett included fucking hojlund because they have the same barber, he can't complain

[@BradleyW14]

@@dragndorf9 age and potential have factored into his decision, I get he hasn’t kicked a ball yet but it’s much better logic than is usually applied by the others

[@dragndorf9]

@@BradleyW14 64mill for a 20 yo never kicked a ball in the prem, his logic = youtube compilations and hype. anyway cant take these lot too serious

[@Jackknox7]

World Cup means nothing for this Montiel won the World Cup and he’s now off to Nottingham Forrest so what is he better than Ben white? Can’t believe people like u have the balls to comment this rubbish

[@clauslarsen8971]

"Rice is a better signing than Mac Allister, because Rice won The Conference League" So the World Cup is a small tournament now?

[@garikcapretta7399]

I haven't even seen the video yet and I have a feeling Theo Baker said this

[@clauslarsen8971]

I cba checking, but I actually think it was Reev. Theo was a perfectly good guess though @@garikcapretta7399

[@taylordranfield1155]

The world cup wasn’t mentioned once in this video😂plus it’s for clubs you div world cups an international trophy completely different

[@clauslarsen8971]

@@taylordranfield1155 so it's worth less than the conference league? A cup made for shit teams

[@aryanbagga820]

Well Rice was also the best player on the team that won a European trophy not just another starter

[@garwoodii]

I do agree with Garrett - A players price should be considered - Rice will probaly be great but its £105 million for a Cm which Liverpool paid £35 million for on McAllister - The value does determine if the transfer was a Coup or not

[@tonyace57]

Yeah the only reason they didn't want that factored in is because then rice wouldn't be number one signing in their eyes and they can't allow themselves to do that because they are Arsenal fanatics

[@jonnyhawkins7744]

For a more visual experience for the viewer, when you do ranking videos, having top 10 tables for each person so we can see and compare would be a good idea???..... however your content is always class, keep it up

Looking at this comment section I’m happy that Szobo and Kovacic are getting the respect they deserve!

[@JustChewitt]

Szoboszlai slander is unreal, easily top 3

[@harrycroston1410]

100% I’m pretty sure he will prove to be the best

[@crispouk3070]

[@husseinsoliman0427]

After that bournamouth game 100%

[@Dee_arrAbdullah]

He was class vs bournemouth.

[@garymaidman625]

Maybe not #1, but definitely top 5. Unlike many fans of the Premier League, I have actually seen him play in the Bundesliga and I don't see the Bundesliga as a farm league, I actually think it's overtaken La Liga as the second best league in the world and he was killing it in that league.

[@МаксимКутузов-с7х]

Kovacic will turn out better than all of them

[@owenthompson5214]

he’s such a boring player

@@fede4740 I trust modric to retain the ball better. However if I was to trust kovacic or modric to go get the ball deep and beat the press, I trust kovacic more in that aspect. I think even luka himself would agree with me lmao.

[@C-OBrien]

factoring price in is absolutely valid, idk why these lot are losing their minds, i.e. anthony would have been a decent signing if he was 30 mil, but he cost 100 so everyone gives him grief

[@harryclyne3521]

Szoboszlai should be in

[@DC-lx8si]

u could get 3 mac allisters for 1 rice. price is a massive impact on where you should rank the signings. tom is right here

[@chrismacprods]

If this had been recorded after GW2 Szoboszlai would surely be in these lists

[@monke5198]

and caicedo would not

[@lickmygooch1013]

He should’ve been in it regardless

[@yusavelli0448]

[@vivaanthomas5449]

Szobozslai not in any of the lists is criminal

[@cesaraxelsson971]

Szobo will 100% be a top 5 signing

[@dman9152]

Number 1

[@bradjohnson1157]

The fact he’s in none of their lists is madness, like hojlund who’s scored 9 goals in serie A to United for £70 million was in ahead of szobo for £62m it’s mental

[@Fmfcg]

Yh absolute madness

[@dixieenormis]

imagine not adding szoboszlai

[@Mattmo675]

If you weigh up value for money, what the club need, how they'll perform and the impact they'll have on the team, Maddison has to be number 1.

[@arameister_]

They really have no idea about Szoboszlai hahaha

[@taylorallen8262]

'have you put Szoboszlai in this list' 'no' well you fuckin should of! generational

[@dragndorf9]

these guys are actually hilarious with their takes, make buvey and rory seem like a panel of mou and wenger.

[@valzor2562]

tom spitting facts. rice should be a world class player for 105. its obviously good for arsenal, but money needs to be took into account.

[@fpengu]

Maddison is an underrated signing from non spurs fans, he creates great chances and I bet he’ll be on 20 assists by the end of the season. Makes the loss of Kane less noticeable with his playmaking.

[@harrydifelice7693]

You seriously think he's gonna equal the assist record ?

I think a visual for videos like these would go a long way! Love the videos either way but visual representation of your lists would make the video 10x more enjoyable!

[@MrAxeluberlux]

I reckon de gea to Onana is one of the biggest upgrades in the league, so much so that I'd possibly have him number 1! I know United haven't started well but he definitely has and I think he'll be a big player for them

[@nathanhall1820]

has he started well? first game blatent pen for a foul he done, second game, 2nd goal for spurs he should save.

[@kagiso4890]

lack of kovacic is crazy

[@kieranfoster2734]

Trust me

[@anthonysmurthwaite6258]

Before I saw him play for City I didn't think he was a good signing but after seeing him play he already looks far better than he did for Chelsea

[@jamiewood1069]

They may as well of called this top 10 signings in the big six. They constantly forget the lower teams, how is players like elanga, kerkez, Alex Scott, Nathan Collins or ward- prowse not even got a mention. It’s to bias I expect better from Tom considering he actually supports a championship side

[@Archiemicko]

Feel for Tom with those muppets

[@mckennageno7053]

Szoboszlai easily

[@n4ht4n80]

Kovacic number 1 already by far

[@ammarioso]

Him or Szobo but either is good

[@portercampbell1399]

Caicedo debut consisted him giving away a pen

[@kaleab-h6o]

It's ironic that timber is out for 7 month because of knee injury

[@AA-re3rm]

How can this podcast talk about football and not have Szoboszlai in any of the lists

[@harv7587]

Tom’s logic of best signing is how you should make this list. Pedro should be on everyone’s list. Agree rice should not be no1. So many chelsea players could be in this list given they needed so many people

[@owenbailey7014]

[@mayapage2707]

Maddison number 1

[@georgehobbit21]

1:23 getting a jump scare in😭😭

[@Izzone99]

Szob has to be on there

[@pellec4]

Rice is 24, England international, was club captain at West Ham & there’s a lack of options in his position so while I’m not saying we didn’t pay more than usually should be the case, the way the market is rn it’s not as big an overpay as it’s being made out to be

[@patrickcahill5834]

Tom knows ball. The rest are basically just English bias. If anyone can tell me what Rice does that makes Arsenal better than last season I'll listen. Balance seems off in midfield since Xhaka left and Partey went to right back

[@steffanthomas707]

Alexis is a class midfielder. As a player its rice personally for me. But as value mcallister is there because he's solved a part of our midfield problems. Plus he was a good part of argentina winning the world cup

[@raffiendemano3555]

Szoboszlai not being on this list is criminal

[@joshchenkoplays8931]

This has literally turned in to an Arsenal podcast now

[@owenthompson5214]

i don’t even support southampton west ham or england but i think ward prowse needs to be in it. Maddison Tonali McAllister Diaby Barnes Rice Onana Gvardoli or whatever his name is lol Ward Prowse The dutch dude from Spurs Jackson, Caicedo but he’s overpriced, Alvarez, Pau Torres, Hungarian Liverpool guy and even Lewis Hall could be in it. Depending on Timber’s injury and Nkunku.

[@ahadhussain4052]

No one having kovacic is a crime

[@michaelbirkhead673]

Tom did

[@sionjones9334]

who needed a midfielder more? Liverpool or Newcastle? answer is Liverpool, which was cheaper? macallister or Tonali? Macallister by 20mill, who’s the better player? world cup winning macallister imo, so how come everyones saying Tonali’s a better signing lmao

[@timmy5876]

i’m loving the liverpool disrespect, im praying we sign a top dm and centre back before the window closes because i know that’s all we need to compete this season. Mac and dom have looked class so far this season, we have 5 top quality forwards then our defence and keeper have obviously been dodgy at times but with finally a good midfield infront of them i think they get back to the level they were all at in 21/22. I believe if we sign amrabat and hincapié or similar level players we could get 85/90 points which could be enough this year

[@conor459]

Tom only one who did this correct

[@callumcollins902]

I think it's quite mad they all overlooked the fact that Villa got Tielemans on a free... that's a top signing.

[@fxsnyc]

@@doubleg381 the problem is he hasn't seen Højlund in his new team's shirt but he put him on the list, and that was word for word his reason for not including Caicedo. Let's not act like there was any question Caicedo was a blue.
