Eeuhm, why donât I see Vardy anywhere? Not even in the comments? How he came out of nowhere and became an outstanding striker in the premier league is insane!
he wasn't signed in the premier League he was signed when Leicester were in the championship
O and there are better strikers duh
You can't include 3 city players and not pick Yaya Toure, the most important signing they made in their transformation to an elite club.
If one player deserve to be there from City is Yaya Toure. So many times he decided the game on his own, even at domestic cup finals. 100% he deserved to be in for Fernandinho.
@Boring Name as a city fan, let me correct you with a few things
1. Hart was a product of the academy
2. Ederson was more of a complete keeper than hart therefore deservedly of a mention
3. If Hart was a decade signing it would be at burnley and he was absolute dumpster fire
3. Kompany was signed in 2008 therefore not during the 2010's
SuperSaiyanjin 21 ummm actually Joe Hart was not from the Man City academy, he was bought for 600k back in 2006 from my hometown club. If you're going to make an obnoxious comment on CZcams at least do your research first. Also Joe Hart was only terrible in these last few years because Pep destroyed his confidence by basically casting him out for f***n Claudio Bravo!!
De bruyne and sterling should both be on here
Greninjia They were both premier league players before their moves to their now respective clubs in which theyâve made a mark, which iâm guessing disqualifies them.

cjewelz your comments are getting repetitive too Iâve seen you all over the place you lobotomite
Kanteâs transfer was the best transfer of modern PL history. He completely changed the league. Leicesterâs scouts discovered the most important player of the decade.

@@snehalnayan8844 yayayayayayayayayayayyayaa Toure
To expand on van Dijk a little bit: all three major clubs in Holland needed a brand new central defender, Ajax as stated went with Mike van de hoorn (which was a disaster) PSV also snubbed van dijk and went with Jeffrey Bruma (which looking back wasn't a terrible signing back then) and feyenoord arguably had the most intrest in van dijk, but had trouble affording him and at the end of the day weren't a 100% sold on him (they went with youth product Stefan de vrij, who along with godin/skriniar currently is part of a three man wall at inter Milan)
Everyone knew van dijk had talent, but at that time he was known to be a bit wild in his playing style and not fulfill his duties at the back because he always wanted to have the ball and then basically become a midfielder (which clubs in general here don't really like)
Strange because they produced Koeman and Gullit could also play sweeper like a menace. Even Van Bommel played at CB sometimes. Rio Ferdinand played like this early in his career. Bedankt voor de informatie!
He plays his youth days as CDM...he is good dribbler , passer , has pace too
The birthplace of total football doesnât like defenders who want the ball?
@@12000gp iirc it was about VVD not being completely composed and focused during the game, allegedly.
Aguero has the least minutes per goal in the HISTORY of Premier League period. He is just lethal.
Very! very!!
Kevin De Bruyne đ
I love how he goes through the criteria of his choices right before Coutinho as if we needed any explanation. Haha.
1:25 this exchange is wonderful
>It's not going well, what am I meant to be doing??
>Stop the ball from going into the net.

Lol
This channel should just be named "The Athletic"
how will they it appeared first here though
Man City's presentation appeared first on The Athletic
Robi_CK FUCK OFF WITH THIS SHIT.
@@Jayfive276 uno reverse card
@@Jayfive276 ignore. Good bye
"Providing the steel to Kevin De Bryune and David Silva's silk".... if that doesn't describe fernandinho then I don't know what will...
I rarely see players currently who improved like De Gea.
The guy was so shit when he first came but improved so much.
If any current player had a few shit seasons like De Gea had he wouldâve been sold off.
When someone as big as Alex Ferguson misses a match just to scout you, you must be given timeđđ
Find a girl who puts as much faith in you as ferguson did to de gea
Jeffery Tang facts bro
De Gea won't be a World Class Player if he never met Phil Jonesta, Chris Smaldini, Marcos CannavaRojo. They have pushed David to Lv.100.
@@MJSONE Yeah, by being shit defenders đđ. The only reason he's any good is they let so many shots happen
The price of signings has to also be taken into account, especially in a tough comparison
Azpilicueta imo is the best signing of the decade fullstop. Not only has he been arguably one of the best fullbacks in the EPL era, but he has served Chelsea for 8 seasons and was signed for little over ÂŁ10m
@Davor Ban The difference is Azpi is now past his best. During his peak years (under Conte) he was the only LB (as Conte played him there) that could rival Marcelo. 8 years (verging on 9) > 3 so his longevity is also something I am considering. Robertson is the better player now, but at their peak it's hard to say. I give Azpi the edge as he could play LB, CB, RB
Davor Ban why are you comparing young attacking left backs to 30+ defensive ones?
Robertson isnât even close when it comes to the defensive part of being a full back. Thatâs the main attribute needed.
James Hussain I disagree. Also, in terms of duels %s Robertson is the most solid LB in all of Europeâs top 5 leagues with the exception of Ferland Mendy
In the modern game the best fullbacks are attacking fullbacks. Name one world class/legendary fullback who was primarily defensive that started their career after 2000. Lahm is the only one that comes to mind. Yet by comparison we have TAA, Walker, Hernandez, Sandro, Telles, Cancelo, Pereira, Marcelo, Dani Alves, Jordi Alba, Alphonso Davies now. The modern fullback aids attack. Robertson is arguably the most well rounded LB in the world capable of both attack and defence to a world class standard. Heck even Juanfran and Luis, generally considered defensive fullbacks, barely ever contributed defensively in their time at Atletico.
Davor Ban only one of the players we are taking about has the defensive skills to play centre back... and itâs not Robertson. VVD is the main reason Liverpoolâs defence is so tight. Youâre making out as if Robertson has been playing at the level he is currently is for years hahaha.
In fact shall we look at this season stats. Letâs see the gap between âgreatnessâ and âaverageâ
Goals 2-2
Assists 6-10
Shots 27-22
Interceptions 66-37
Tackles 53-30
Arial battles won 89-31
Both played the same amount of games. Not much between them considering one is playing for a team who canât defend and is past his prime and the other one for the most dominating team in the prem.
Also the âdecentâ player has more forward passes and less backwards one.
tom spreadbury I donât disagree with you. DA is a better defender than AR tho, I mean heâs so good he can play CB. AWB isnât very good going forward, hes more about the defensive side so there are still some out there.
A full back has to also stop the other teams winger or wide player. And from what Iâve seen stats wise not much between them in the attacking sense. As I write this DA just got another assist.
Not mention only one of the two can play RB LB and CB.
Azpilicueta is one of the most underrated players of this generation. Iâve never seen a more tactically flexible player or one that can so seamlessly play anywhere across a backline. CB, LB, RB, it doesnât matter, heâs a class act no matter where heâs played đ©
Maguire to United. W signing for Leicester ngl
The best signings of the 2010s originally appeared from the athletic
My life originally appeared on The Athletic
omg nâkolo kantĂ© how did you get that wrong???
No Mahrez? No Vardy? By most metrics Leicester City seem to have it right in their transfer policy over the last decade đŠ
Itâs cause they werenât signed when Leicester were in the prem
Mark Beddard valid point chap, still amazing signings relatively for the price.
@@markbeddard434however, Mahrez transfer to Man City is still a decade transfer because Mahrez - one of the most singular players of singular players - transformed to a team player.
POLARISSIMA wtf hahaha
â@@markbeddard434 oi, scumbag, why the fuck you laugh? My comment wasn't funny, it was a proper serious comment.
When I was this early last time Tifo football was still Umaxit.
Last time I was this early Tifo Football still had original content.
@@shanewright2772 they still do, though đ¶
Ah yes N'Kolo Kante, N'Golo's lesser known brother.
Why is Harry Maguire here? He's the white elephant in Manchester United's current squad
Banging result for Leicester
Harry Maguire??? This aged well....
From Leicester's perspective, it's still a great signing
Dude they won a title with him and made 90 million, it aged exquisitely
Not in man u's perspective though..which is what I meant
@@Ahhhgghgggggagggghhhh Man U haven't won the title with him mate...
@@smittenthekitteninmittens2679
Because nobody was talking about United. The video only mentioned Leicesterâs transfer of him. Donât have to bring United into everythingâŠ
Yaya Toure signed in 2010, how isnât he in here?!
Kante, Silva and Fernandinho were a better value for their longevity
@@vapour9000 bs Toure better than fernadinho. When was Essien signed?
@@kingwata1 Essien was signed in like 2005
@@Isaac-nm2pv wow long time
I'm a Man City fan but there is no way Toure was better / more important than Fernandinho has been. Yaya had few absolutely killer seasons but his final years were so reluctant. He just wanted the money. This all started after 2014 World Cup and this "cake episode" what happened before it.
This athletic athletically athleted in the athletic
lol
Everything appeared originally on athletic
so who exist first? god or athletic?
@@imanafdar god appeared originally on the Athletic
Maguire lmaoo
I canât believe Phil Jones is not on this list
And Lingardinhođ€đđđ
Gotta love a best eleven, purely for sparking debate!
Please do vids about signings for the January window
Eden Hazard in his days was fascinating.
That was literally only several months ago lol.
What about Jamie Vardy?
I think aguero wins cuz he was here for the entire decade
He wasn't a premier league signing
@@EugenesBackpack he wasn't?
@@tanujbhatia9895 he was already at Leicester in Championship

When I was this early last time not everything was from the Athletic
Hey guys, get it? Because the video was inspired by the Athletic just like other videos and this guy watched the video just after it was uploaded. It really is peak comedy.
I was born originally from the Athletic
Red Pen yea but itâs getting old now
That background beat originally appeared in the Athletic.
I love how you have to explain the selection process as Coutinho's name comes up hahaha.
The Maguire lovestory continues :P still very good business from Leicester indeed.
Best signing of the decade:
*THE ATHLETIC*
Ceasar "Dave" Azpilicueta has to be the most underated signing of the decade
Tifo Rocks!! Great content brothers
Quite enjoy this channel, they must be raking it in.
Suprised Lukaku for Everton isnât on this list, considering the impact and amount of money he went for
In terms of financial perspective, Coutinho is the righteous player to be mentioned in this list. Whereas contribution, attributes and accolades are concerned, there are dozens of players better than Lukaku in the PL!
As an Everton fan while I'm inclined to agree, I think both forwards mentioned here just pipped him to it. He was immense for us and a joy to watch but Aguero and Hazard brought an entirely different level for their respective clubs. The only Everton player that I think could have made the list over Lukaku is Seamus Coleman but he joined in 2009 and Azpi also is just a better option
@@anuruprao2056 true but in terms of the impact on the actual club he had, rather than in comparison to quality of other players I fee Lukaku is above most others
Gary Cahill is probably the most underrated defender in the last 10 years, won everything but played with star defenders which overshadowed him, however he was consistent for Chelsea for years and now smashing it at palace. Underrated.
1:25 some good goalkeeping advice there
Anything: *happens*
The Athletic: *chuckles in story feature*
Silva is the rock that potentially held City together enough to be a team worthy of Sheikh Mansour's investment.
As a Blue, I'll be forever indebted to Silva for that alone, before I even bring his technical qualities, and their positive effect on successive Manchester City seasons, into my decision.
Thank you, David.
Here after Azpi winning Champions league
i would rather wait for videos in Tifo than pay for the athletic, even if they cover various sports. Thank you Tifo :D
What about Kompany? Managed to win 4 PL with City and several other trophies. Have been a superb captain and tremendous force both on and off the pitch. Price tag was also at 8 mil and came from Belgium a decade ago.
My Premier League Best signing has Got to be Augero
Mine is de Burnya
Mine is spelling and grammar too
Hamish Knowles đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
KDB - Man City
Jan Vertonghen - For Spurs
Suarez - For Liverpool
Mane - For Liverpool
Costa - For Chelsea
RVP - For Man Utd
Son - For Spurs
Milner - For Liverpool
Salah is a better signing than Mane.10 mil less and scored more goals at Liverpool in 1 season less
I think Robertson to liverpool needs to be here. Eden Hazard for Chelsea,
@@patrikbros8242 Salah may be world class but we knew what he could do he had a good season at Roma before he came to Merseyside. Plus Mane was actually 34mil
@@mrsoftnessful Robertson already mentioned plus hazard these are the players who weren't mentioned in the vid
I think the idea was signings from non premier league teams
Haha love the use of windows 98 word art on the city poster
Watching this in 2022, I thought NâGolo Kante in the thumbnail was Patson Daka at first. Only realized my mistake after reading the title đ
the signing of the decade is The Athletic no?
Luis Suarez should be in the squad. One of the best strikers in a history of football
He didnt appear in the Athletic
Nice call on Liverpool! Bitter sweet I prayed Steven would get one!
Stunned that you included Maguire has part of signing of the decade years back. How did you missed that
Its sad to see that even after Costa's brilliance for 3 years bringing Chelsea many titles has lost to another striker But Aguero has been exceptional. A Class apart.
But the signing of Cahill > Maguire.
Should just be Leicesterâs 11 tbh. and whereâs Salah mate?
Yeah, I mean he won back to back golden boots but I'm guessing it's because his fee was rather high at the time. Judging by the 3 main criteria they mentioned, Coutinho Aguero and Hazard just edge it.
David Moyes bought some of the best signings. Seamus Colemen ÂŁ60k. Nigel Martyn, 500k, Marcus Bent ÂŁ600k Tim Cahill, ÂŁ2.5m. . Mikel Arteta ÂŁ3m. John Stones ÂŁ3m, Phill Jagiyelka ÂŁ4m, Joleon Lescott, ÂŁ5m. Leighton Baines. ÂŁ6M.
A series on the formation of Football Clubs in England could be a good one
Fabregas in 2014/15 was instrumental. He totally changed the way Chelsea play that season.
Think Robin Van Persie to MUFC deserves a mention. Single handedly dragged an ageing united team to fergie's last league title - ÂŁ26mil well spent by sir alex.
Junino, when he signed for the Boro, or even Rav, aka the white feather, who scored a hatrick on his debut against the mighty Liverpool too,
how tifo isnt at 1 mil subs is mind boggling
NâGolo KantĂ©*
So what about:
Mane?
Salah?
Sterling?
Suarez?
KDB?
Hazard?
Sanchez?
Van Persie?
Erikson?
Fabregas?
Toure?
Jurgen Kloppl/FSG?
Claudio Ranieri?
Pep Guardiola?
Ya well Hazardâs kind of on the list so...
I mean they could only pick one per position and the ones they have are hard to replace, only one I'd consider would be coutinho - > KDB due to trophys
Daniel Leyland I think they are looking at instant impacts and like value for money as well as effect on a team long-term
All these players you mentioned were heard of and generally not cheap. This clip is referring to astounding signings.
Daniel Leyland mate they canât fit the whole footballing world in it
This list could have been all Chelsea
Lukaku
Debruyne
Salah
are just 3 of the players Chelsea let go of
My top 5 - David Silva, Sergio Aguero, Fernandinho, James Milner, Jamie Vardy. Honorary mention Steven Gerrard
Robertson has 3 years in the Prem. A decade is 10 years people. Meguire? The title should be 11 players who costed little or nothing but ended up being sold for a lot of money or have a huge valuation of the decade.
4 years mate
@@EnsoHenzo not even half a decade
What an idiot
Who do you think has been a better signing this decade, taking into account what Leicester/Liverpool paid for Maguire and Robertson.
Robertson over Baines? Clearly made by a Liverpool fan.
Almost choked on my food at the Manchester City powerpoint. Y'all outdid yourselves on that one.
Do a video on Hansi Flick's tactics for Bayern MĂŒnchen
Do you do any videos that werenât originally on The Athletic
Why does it matter? Why are you fuckers obsessed with the fact this channel does video versions of articles from a certain website? Why is it so endlessly amazing to you dum-dums?
Jayfive276 well we canât all be as smart as Jayfive276, unfortunately
Why not include Gary Cahill ? was an absolute steal when he came to Chelsea from Bolton, won the league cup, 2 fa cups, 2 Europa leagues, 2 premier leagues, and the champions league, and was included in PFA team of the year 3 times.
Mohamed Kamal Van Dyke is good but after only 18 months at Liverpool heâs the second coming. Cahill literally won everything there is to win at Chelsea and for ÂŁ7m. An absolute bargain.
Are you joking đ€Ł
@@SomPrince No, I am not joking.
Mohamed Kamal if VVD goes on to win HALF on what GC did at Chelsea heâll be nominated as the best player ever to walk the earth.
When did Michael dappah start playing for Leicester?
Probably an unpopular opinion but Man City have an unreal scouting network and players consistently grow to become world beaters. Fernandinho was an average CAM at Shakhtar Donetsk and become one of the best DMs in the world, De Bruyne was a ÂŁ50 million Chelsea ârejectâ and became one of the best midfielders in the world now worth ÂŁ150 million, Laporte moved from a mid-table La Liga side to become one of the best CBs in the Premier League, Zinchenko was a CAM purchased for ÂŁ3 million from a low-ranked Ukrainian team and became a starting LB for City. I could keep going re: AgĂŒero, Ederson, David Silva, SanĂ©, Sterling...
Id i could make a suggestion please make videos about the Best teams of the decate. Peps Barca and Peps Bayern, Ancelottis Madrid and Zidanes Madrid as well as 2013 Bayern and 2015 Barca and how they compare with todays Best teams.
@@dimtr5102 1. Did you just use your second account to praise yourself on your first account? 2.
