I swear to god if PSG actually sign Neymar for €220 million... The world is just crazy man...

[@AlexsSportsNews]

PSG Love their Brazilians

[@j3_designs_426]

Alex's Sports News €220million*

[@Trigga_47]

that is a waste of money, Neymar is world class but he isn't worth that much... but you know arab money is infinite.

[@j3_designs_426]

Ronaldo Owino Until the oil runs out

[@caipotter679]

I know Neymar is good but I think money should go to cancer or some thing else

[@robertgerrard528]

Thanks for the football content throughout the summer. it's always shit without the football

[@FootballDaily]

Painful without football but the transfer window has been mental luckily

[@Jamie-iq4zo]

[@samydreamleaguesoccer5319]

Amitabh Bachchan how the fuck zlatan is not world class??

[@RA7FIFA]

the term world-class is used too often

[@KierenColbeck97]

RA7FIFA I agree. The only real world class players out there are Fellaini, Alberto Moreno, Sanogo and Bendtner

[@momo-ht2oe]

Kieren Colbeck Damn you are funny

[@hussainadel6483]

RA7FIFA finally someone has said it

[@momo-ht2oe]

"If a team has 3 fernandinho's they will win the League" (Guardiola forgot that if a team has 1 Kante it will win the league

[@twintubersYT]

Abdul bakhi ???? I don't get it...

[@1ANOOF]

2 seasons in a row now, but can he do it a third time?

[@VelvetMetrolink]

Abdul bakhi Good luck with that 😂

[@MrScorpio696]

Fernandinho is a better overall midfielder than Kante

[@furthestshield5716]

Fugmuggadon Pumplexatron pass the weed

[@timoglock07]

Would replace Zlatan with Luca Toni. Zlatan was always world class

[@benzskyeshxc96]

Barzagli is bargain of century for 300k

[@averagebeetle]

Pepe was always a world class player, Arteta was never a world class player, Scholes was always a world class player, Fernandinho was never and still isn't a world class player, Zlatan was always a world class player. And ''worthless'' is an awful word to use, since these are all professional footballers...

[@powermovebacca2980]

KickAss_Beast Rio is class...

[@averagebeetle]

Who the fuck is Rio? Ferdinand? He isn't even in the video...

[@powermovebacca2980]

KickAss_Beast read that wrong *facepalm*

[@naruto8840]

KickAss_Beast I agree about the arteta and fernandinho part .. they are good .. not world class ..

[@obi4838]

KickAss_Beast arteta was never a legend coming from an arsenal fan

[@daretozlatan9667]

If you guys don't make a video about the Neymar to PSG rumors in the next hour or two... I'm going to write a strongly worded letter '_' Actually, its better if it isn't on this channel, give the ginger lad the day off lol.

[@FootballDaily]

[@ryanavfcc]

Dare to Zlatan lol

[@Kieran2502]

[@ED01010]

[@callummilburn3877]

Its unfortunate that many of these players didnt 'make it' or become noticeable at a much younger age because It seems to be that once youre 28+ and then finally make the break, youre not as hyped or as noticed as much as these younger players that break through properly. but all respect for younger players that do 'make a break', as they must really be doing something right.

[@superlex611]

CMilly Freestyle01 what are you talking about ?

[@seb3941]

It should be called trash to cash

[@tinbtinb1148]

The only good comment

[@ritankartalukdar4196]

And Arteta manages the club he played his best football ♥️

[@jobi-wan5553]

#worthless = Johnathan Douglas And the football daily 7 aside

[@FootballDaily]

ayeeee banter

[@bdelsouza]

Zlatan???? You cannot measure one hell of a striker's career solely on goals. He contributed in every phase of the game, creating for his teammates and himself, showing AMAZING skills with the ball and incredible physical qualities.

[@ryanadam4162]

I don't understand how you guys keep on coming up with cool video ideas??

[@koncorde]

Scholes? Honestly? He showed extraordinary promise in his first year, and after his second year he was clearly class, a full time starter in very competitive midfield, and starter for England. He then only got better and better every year. Putting him alongside Hubner, a genuine classic journeyman who became one of the best strikers in Serie A, is a real mismatch of content.

[@funnystd2143]

Ah football daily a mix between a glory hunter and repititive content

[@Jarvals]

Funny STD FINALLY

[@CaseySouthern]

Anybody else see '10 Footballers who Sucked' as an ad?

When Alexander Graham Bell created the telephone, he already had three missed calls from Zlatan.

[@ntnnot]

1:04 A lesser known factor in Messi's development into a world class player: opportunity to play with Italy's national team already in 1982.

[@Kieran2502]

3:46 nice brow

[@MirDochEgalTV]

Schalkes Guido Burgstaller could be on this list in a few years. Aged 28 he came from the 2nd german division in January 2017 and is now one of the best strikers of the Bundesliga with an average 0.5 goals per game.

[@ismailandyounis9943]

[@awordabout...3061]

Miroslav Klose? Playing semi-pro at the age of 23, won the world cup and became the all-time highest goalscorer in world cup history at the age of 37!

[@amitabhbachchan8280]

Amazing how Many United think they can sign Neymar, that would be a huge step down.

[@KCIAN2]

Do they think they can, or do you think they think that they think they can?

[@giorgidavlianidze958]

well they can, no one can match united in terms of Money power but for Neymar it will be step down agree !!! united fan tho

[@harymiguel17]

Who said they think they can?

[@bencrooks4392]

HERE ARE SOME PLAYERS THAT COULD FIT YOUR LIST 1-modric ( always been good but the past 3/4 seasons he proved himself one of the best) 2-Navas ( From an unheard of goalkeeper to with back to back UCLs ) 3-Bunocci ( average defender at one point of his career to nominated best defense line of 2016/2017 season)

[@OfficialEndlesss]

Pepe won 3 champions league trophies, not 2. (2014-2016-2017)

[@kickboomuk798]

they said over the last 18 months...

[@noda8463]

marcos mata he said 2 yrs

[@Lewlun]

Luca Toni is another one of those abundant late-blooming Serie A poachers

[@timoe360]

PSG tinpot club built by money and still can't win a 1horse race league. Fucking joke

[@leonidas0242]

endmy suffering Chelsea were decent before the Russian money

[@pepsiipep7842]

lol yes. Spend like 100 million to get beaten by some youngsters. Also get knocked out of CL by one of the worst Barcelona sides in recent years. Neymar can help them get a top 4 finish next year?

[@timoe360]

Pepsi Ipep Chelsea won the champions league when did psg win it

[@trevorphilips9474]

Michele Frisoli Porto can be bigger than Arsenal

[@timoe360]

Michele Frisoli you literally made no sense. What does psg spending tons of money and never winning the champions league and losing in a shitty league relate to Tottenham who hasn't even bought a player this season and Manchester City had actually won the premier league

[@karan5m]

None of these players had been ‘worthless’. Sensational title.

[@_random5078]

Wut

[@the1greko]

You missed Deco, who played at Barcelona, Porto, Chelsea and Benfica (one of my clubs biggest mistakes!!) Deco came to Europe to play in Benfica never got to impose his game, then was sent to smaller teams (Alverca and Salgueiros) when Mourinho got him back for Porto his career just peaked reaching all possible titles in clubs football and playing for Portugal's national team

[@sxif_1]

in the thumbnail, young Mertens looks like Charlie Puth

[@toniharalovic421]

What about Pršo? Rehected as a youngster, later breaking the record for most goals scored in 1 CL game(4 in 1 game)

[@robinadolfsson4358]

where is vardy?

[@clemmzzz6219]

Lego man 1 good season doesn't mean anything

[@risejaguar9379]

robin adolfsson vardy isn't good now either

[@homersimpson6585]

Clement Eng this season he's good 8 goals in 23 matches better than a lot of players

[@MrBarnabita]

A little mistake with Hubner: the player with long hair with Bari jersey was Igor Protti not him. However, Protti's history is similar with Darione's: their two players wins the best scores classification once in every professional Italian championship.

[@lscott4074]

arteta world class?

[@michaellejeune7715]

Zlatan has always been class since his Malmö FF days..

[@brandongiannascoli]

#Worthless Debuchy

[@sanadkhreis7045]

Brandon Giannascoli agree

[@koopalibrary]

@Mertens, a lot of his performance being better than previous years is cause he was no longer viewed as a supersub but as a legitimate starter. As for Ibra, come on. he might not have scored as much, but he was a beast even when a youngster in ajax

[@countryoftugas6204]

pepe don't recive a red card in la liga because the referees suport real madrid

[@Ronaldothegoat0728]

CountryofTugas Then how does Ramos have the most in La Liga history. Barcelona haven't conceded a penalty or gotten a red card since the 15/16 season. Neymar against Malaga was the first in 50 games. I wonder who supports the refs in La Liga. It's definitely UEFAlona.

[@countryoftugas6204]

Daniel Rodríguez Sánchez you forgot real vs bayern

[@subscriberswithoutanyvid-dp3sf]

CountryofTugas guess you forgot barca vs psg a free kick, own goal, and two penalties, "best comeback ever"

[@Darraghx1x]

Dislike for the forced ads

[@tmc_coybig]

How is not Henrick Larson in it he was a super legend at Celtic

[@poseidon2525]

neymar to psg is stupid 1. WHY would neymar join psg😂 he'll never get better there or win anything of value it's a huge downgrade. if it was man u or man city then itd probably be believable 2. the whole Messi shadow thing is stupid and just greedy. I mean you don't see people complain about people being in ronaldos shadow😂 you can't escape that. you'll always be in both their shadows because they're both amazing players and when their reign is over then things will change. and he will never win the ball on d'oro at psg because it's a shit club😂

[@paulopoumian557]

damn y'all predicted Arteta managing Arsenal

[@rohitchetri1077]

[@DuragAllDay]

Rohit Chetri You lot don't have a single world class player in your team.

[@CarloBruh]

Duron Wise Salah and Coutinho?

[@biniamtekie2150]

Rohit Chetri show some respect to pogba unlike the manshit fans who claim he's better than kante but he is a promising star (still young) at the same time I feel he is a bit overrated

[@paulr3912]

Are these lists complied via a consensus or by a blatant Arsenal fan . And Paul Scholes on a list called , from worthless to world class nearly made me turn into Hodor !!

[@supersbbrawl4ever]

Paul R The guy's extremely clueless. Scholes was scoring at a similar rate as Lampard and Gerrard before he was 31, and that's including the pens Lampard and Gerrard scored (Scholes scored 2 or 3 I think).

[@beanheadshlingle3640]

Chris wood. He went from 13 goals to 30 the next!

[@PowerVoltaire]

Zlatan was World Class when he played at Ajax!

[@benjaminmartin4669]

Zlatan doesn't leave a job unfinished

[@tarangsinghmukherjee7392]

I did not expect Zlatan

[@benholz3438]

Best football channel on KZbin!!

[@DipinManmadhan]

You underestimated Zlatan. 😂😂😂

[@BeOutstanding]

Andrea Barzagli...incredibly underrated.

[@MaverickUHD]

I know people are probably gonna try to call me out on this one, but I always thought Mertens was a good player. Sure he wasn't a superstar in Serie A but he was decent nonetheless. Also I had him on ultimate team back in fifa 13 as well as career mode that year and he was unbelievabley good to play with in fifa.

[@niallowens6312]

...Mertens has never been a midfielder at Napoli; he was an inside forward before Milik's injury (like Insigne, which is why they were alternated in that position) and has been the centre striker since Milik's first injury.

[@Dave23788]

guardiola telling the press "if a team has 3 fernandinho's they will be champions"... as well as saying "i prefer 11 dante's in my squad he is a worldclass player" (mostly on the bench during pep's time at bayern) or goetze "he is a great great top player" (never played a real role at bayern under pep and ruined his carreer) ... such a media liar!

[@soyesco]

Zlatan is re-singing later this year...

[@brunosurrador2161]

No Jonas. Ever since he left Valencia, he has been world class at Benfica

[@richardslack4591]

How can you say Scholes wasn’t world class when he was young. He’s been world class since he first stepped on the pitch

[@paulozhan]

uuh Portuguese here, how exactly was Pepe ever worthless? he played brilliantly in all leagues he's appeared in, and 2016 WC was a blunder for Portugal mainly because he got sent off vs Germany and wasn't eligible to play in game 2 vs USA. Best Portuguese centre back I've ever seen after Ricardo Carvalho.

[@jeltehuizing6491]

Zlatan was a beast at Ajax...

[@triggamanful]

Pepe is possibly one of the best defenders ever when he's not raging over bullshit

[@theodorekell]

Worth to note that in Italy, oldest player on the pitch is the captain for the day. And you don't pronounce "g" in names like Barzagli

[@iKyleeeeee]

It's like you've never watched football. The silliest eleven in the world.

[@Tom-dm6nv]

Mikel Arteta's best days were in his Everton days.

[@alfiemcmaster7372]

[@yossibenayoun5642]

that pic of hubner with snot hangin out his nose ha mingin

[@marto7446]

Sergio Ramos perhaps isn't the greatest yard stick for red cards, he would probably have the most red cards most squads you put him into. It's like saying such and such was taller than Shaun Wright Philips, or was less stabby than Jack the Ripper, Ramos is notorious for playing on the edge.

[@nicolaslatorre810]

3:50 it's not their only domestic title. They have also won the supercup and the German cup

[@declancarr6789]

Artera and Fernandinho world class 😂😂😂

[@bangroji]

Zlatan came late? When i was playing championship manager 2001/2002, he is already a world class. He moved from Ajax to Juve at relative young age.

[@rozza42]

Honourable mentions should be included in these 11s or a subs bench? Edwin van der Sar Joe Hart was never expected to become the no. 1 at city until injuries provided the platform Keylor Navas after the 2014 World Cup Naldo has gotten better with age but no silverware Azpilicueta become significantly better in recent years Same with Juan Roman Riquelme Antonio Valencia (since his shift to RB has been crucial the United's success) Jamie Vardy definitely should be on this list Could argue Harry Kane but he's still pretty young, but did come out of nowhere Gonzalo Higuain (didn't really blossom until he left Real) Edin Dzeko has also blossomed when given more game time after leaving City Teddy Sheringham made a comeback to stardom at United well into his 30s I'm sure there are plenty others I've forgotten
