  • From Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney, who made his league debut for Everton in the 2002-03 season, to assist king Trent Alexander-Arnold, who broke into the Liverpool first team during the 2016-17 campaign, HITC Sevens attempts to pick out the best academy graduate from every single Premier League season.

      @@areebsiddiqui758 absolutely wrong, I study law as part of my degree and I can tell you that pictures and voice recordings in these cases are extremely weak. A picture doesn't provide enough evidence to show Mason did that, when it happened or anything, voice recordings don't provide context at all either. In a court of law and this country/society you're legally innocent until proven guilty. If you're guilty of a crime, especially of that magnitude, you're usually charged by now, just shows him it isn't as clear or obvious as people think.

    Hey Alfie, I just thought of a cracking idea for a video you could do on the turbulent recent history of Goztepe in the Super Lig. They’re one of the Super Lig’s most well supported clubs (a bit like a Newcastle United, Sunderland or Strasbourg if you may). In the 2001/02 season, they finished seventh in the top flight, however from 2002 to 2008, they were relegated five times in six seasons, due to their inability to reduce their outstanding debt which resulted in the football club being banned from signing new players during that time. In August of 2007, a business based in Istanbul, vowed to take them back to the top flight making them one of the top five clubs in the country, but they were met with lots of suspicions from the fan base, and then they handed over the ownership to another bloke called Mehmet Sepil in 2014. Anyway, they’re back in the Super Lig as a solid mid table/weaker top half team. Why am I bringing all this up? Because apparently Abramovich is looking to possibly buy the club himself, after being sanctioned from the UK. It’s a crazy crazy story and may you could look into this, not to mention, they are not only a rare example of a club that is considered a neighbourhood club, as well as the fact that they’ve played in 3 different stadiums since 2011, but also in 1969, they became the first Turkish football team to play a semi-final of a European competition.

    Gareth Barry's transition from a left back to DM is something special imo. It truly elevated his career but the man also stayed mostly injury free throughout his career which is something not easy seeing that his role is more on the physical side.

      I think he’s one of the most underrated players in the history of the league, always looked good for City and Villa in his peak and even later on at Everton. I was born in 98 and I always thought him or Carrick should’ve started with Lampard and/or Gerrard for England… we’d of had much more balance

      I think it is more the preperation for Brexit which has necessitated it as enough spaces have to be kept in the squad. But finances allowing many top players to be taken from abroad requires players to push really hard to get into the club's first teams. Hence the technical ability improvements.

    There's almost no such thing as an easy game in the PL. All the teams fighting to avoid relegation have put up some strong games against top 6 teams. Sure, some of the results make them look like a walkover but it's never a foregone conclusion prior to the game.
    Go to any other top league and at least 30% (closer to 50% in some leagues) are embarrassingly easy games where the top teams take no risk to blood one or two youngsters without fear that they'll lose the game.
    That's why it's easier for other leagues to bring on youngsters...

      @@jhaych I'd say that's still easier than having to get past arguably the two best RBs in the world on talent, James and Trent. Not to mention Walker and Trippier are still going about just fine.

      @@jhaych Cancelo plays at LB and I don't think he's better than Trent, maybe on level with James. Although James is younger and less experienced so will get better. And he's a RB as well as RWB, he's equally good in both positions and better defensively than both of those two.
      Overall in terms of talent though I'd pick Trent and Cancelo is a great player as well.
