Look at how many times utd are on the list and they have the cheek to call city’s spending 😂💀
Seven most infamous faked injuries (E.g Neymar rolling around, the Leicester Penalty Vs Watford, David Luiz smiling laying down etc).
you could have seven entire videos just about Neymar rolling around
24:30 "Mesut Özil, the only Arsenal signing to feature in this entire video."
Huh? What about Thierry Henry ? 😳😳
Not sure why your disclaimer had to come more than a minute later, instead of right there. 😅😂
@@dvdv8197I assume Alfie only realised his mistake later, and added that extra bit of voice-over during editing.
@@badgermanization aaah well, that would make sense. Thanks. 🙂
oh, man. Torres at Liverpool. Bloody loved him.
Aside from the Collymore signings, the run from 1992-2000 is seriously impressive. All players went on to have legendary runs st the club that sogned them. Compare that with the most expensive signings in modern times
The best players were buyable back then. Nowadays the absolute best players rarely move until they're out of contract so most of the big signings are based on potential
a documentary of Borussia Dortmund and how they were extremely close to bankruptcy in 2002 time and how Bayern had to save them. The extreme difficulties the club has had to manage within to get back to where they are #thepeopleschannel
Dortmund was desperate to compete with Bayern and chose to spend in their style, but without any of the restraint and brain behind it.
They continue to do so now, only in a more financially realistic manner.
End of the video.
@@tawongamusic I think you either replied wrong comment or actually wanted to make a comment of your own but somehow replied to this unrelated BVB comment
Nice
Dwight Yorke signing for Man Utd from Aston Villa at the start of the 1998/99 season will always live long in the memory knowing what happened that season
We didn’t need to financially dope to win a treble
@@Snotzalotzdon’t talk daft Man U can and have out spent every other club in the past 10 years it’s not Man City’s fault you have clowns as owners who have wasted your money
@@Snotzalotzyou spent more than anyone else did In the prem and more than most clubs in Europe outside of italy
Personally, I do find it interesting that three of the first four most expensive signings were Nottingham Forest players. It's surprising that they got relegated at all in 1992/93 when they had so much talent at their disposal (but not at all surprising that they bounced back to finish 3rd in 1994/95).
"Mesut Ozil, the only Arsenal signing"...wait did Tierry Henry go to Utd or did I miss something haha
He clarified it after
Show this to anyone who says Fergie never spent money. The guy spent a crazy amount season after season.
Yeah !!
United spent the most for most seasons
Money buys success
The money Fergie spent was nothing compared to what Madrid, Juve, Barca and Madrid were spending
Reality is that apart from Leicester, all the champions and challenges always the highest spending teams. Since the prem started the first few years was Blackburn and man utd, then arsenal, Newcastle and man utd.... Until today's with city and the gap between top and bottom is billions
The Tevez signing was a huge change in the balance of power
Day 3: 7 footballers who got rich from playing football but then went poor again (Financial difficulties, etc.)
24:35 Özil, the only Arsenal signing in this video, besides Bergkamp and Henry
I'm sure he also said alexis sanchesz 😂
I was wondering if you could do a video on on who would be the 20 teams to feature in the Premier League if relegation was abolished. Excluding the top 6 (7?) Of course and teams based on just by being in the Premier League now. I was just looking through the EFL recently and was really shocked at the size of some of the teams down there.
The reason why parachute payments became a thing in 2000-01 was because Sheffield Wednesday's relegation the season before. They had a couple international players on big wages but had a terrible/decrepit defense and went down, thus hemorrhaging money with no TV money to pay their salaries. Wednesday have been out of the EPL since 2000, closest they came to promotion was a 2015/16 playoff final loss, but have a 40k stadium in the 4th biggest city in England. The club had to liquidate most of it's assets including it's own training ground, and had to abolish their youth academy for many years (right at the time Jamie Vardy was released at age 16). Just awful, awful timing with it all.
If I had a penny for every time Alfie used that picture of Danny Drinkwater, I'd live in a country with good economy for once
Its the meme of this channel😂😂
Still funny though😂😂
It's crazy how most of blockbuster signing in 1990s or early 2000s made such great impact at their new clubs, while most of recent blockbuster signing have been either underwhelming or disappointed, I blame that for the media 😂
He did a whole video on that!
Would making a video about Shelbourne Football Club be of interest to you Alfie? Thought it would be good to hear your thoughts after the Hull City owner purchased a majority share.
Post 5: Alfie you should really consider doing a video on the Bosnian men's national team, from being ranked 13 in the world in 2014 and qualifying for the World Cup in Brazil, to not qualifying for a single tournament since, yet managing to win their uefa nation leagues group, but genuinely hitting our lowest point with a 2-0 defeat to Luxembourg. Aging players, players who represent other national teams that are eligible to play for Bosnia but aren't seeming interested, just the genuine geopolitical mess that Bosnia is with how the Dayton agreement was meant to simply end the Bosnian war yet became the country's de facto constitution. I think it would make for a very interesting video, and could even span additional videos like how Velez Mostar are forced to play away from their original stadium in Mostar as it is on the Croatian side of the river, with their old stadium being taken over by Zrinjski Mostar. A club that was actually banned in Yugoslavia because of their nationalistic origin
Yes pls. Bilo bi fora.
It would also be interesting to see what these transfer values would be if altered for inflation
I honestly had forgotten that Robbie Keane even played for Leeds he played for a lot of different teams but a few of them were quite forgetful and i expect that Leeds was one of them
And then there is people said united didnt spent a lot of money 😂
Almost like they won the league every season and had the most money
@@zed704actually started spending massively before they won anything
New HITC sevens? We must be there
Just watched a replay of Keane's performance against Juve in the 99 C League Semi Final on the UEFA app. Wow, he could play (despite meme culture saying otherwise). If you never saw him play he was similar to a Kante in importance to the team but he leadership was A1 in ways you don't really see since. I'd encourage anyone to watch the of the full matches that include alot of the old players Alfie talks about. It'd broaden your perspective on the game and help you appreciate Alfie's analysis ever more.
I always feel a bit scared thinking what could have been that late 90´s Man Utd team with Shearer in the team.
Prime candidate for best team of all time or at least a solid top 5.
As a Forest fan, that interesting fact hurt my soul.
Ozil is retired, not without a club
Good
Retired is often just athlete-speak for nobody wanted to sign him
Seriously, why would anyone sign a player who was friends with a pig like Erdogan
@@lougiacobbi725 So Beckham wasn’t “retired” as he still willing to play for England?
You say Ozil is the only Arsenal player to feature in the list... but Thierry Henry is on the caption pic? 😅
Never mind, you fixed it later 😂

Have you done a Spanish one?
And I know it might be too similar for now but in the future top selling English players each year.
Henry appeared earlier. Not only Ozil in the entire video
Video idea:
Alfie's list of the best Premier League walkout songs.
Best German players in the premier league of all time. (Day 519)
I will not give up until the video is made or Alfie himself tells me to stop. Everyone else telling me that will be ignored.
If you don't believe my number, just go back to the previous videos. I'm at the bottom most of the time, but I'm there.
I'd actually love if he wouldn't cover the topic based on how petulant you are about it.
@Bale4Bond well it's been a long time and he hasn't done it. Give obsessive control freaks what they want and they'll just demand something else even more obsessively.
@@Ceaseless_Watcher We all have to find purpose in our life's in one way or another, right? 😅
Begging for this video (sadly) seems to be his.
I always find it interesting how certain fans / media feel about the money being spent in football and by who.
Cloughy was just working his magic with the first few inclusions
You mean collymore that was a Frank Clarke signing, Clough got forest relegated and retired, which led to Keane and a few others leaving
@@petesmart1983 I'm a notts fan mate I was taking the piss.
3out of first 4 being forrest sales is interesting
in the intro you missed sandro tonali
If Haaland remains at Man City as long as Aguero was there its safe to say that the former will completely shatter the latters goal scoring record at the rate Haaland is scoring at
He won't. He wants to win everything. He'll go to Spain next.
Hope injury stay away from him and either Madrid, Barca, Bayern, PSG or Saudi league not tempting him to leave City afterwards 😂
@@bimanatawilaga7509pretty sure psg shouldnt be on this list
@FurioussBear Mbappe is leaving in the next couple years
Why wouldnt they attempt signing haaland?
@adlchapman they can attempt it all they want. Why would haaland leave the best league in the world where he's already breaking records and the team functions around him to end up in the equivalent of a reality TV show of football. Where the players do what they want and the managers have no power and ultimately end up winning the French league which basically is like winning a cookie from subway. Like I said. Pretty sure psg shouldn't be on the list
Top seven most interesting names in world football. Bringing this up after seeing the player on Costa Rica's women's world cup team named Priscilla Chinchilla.
It's been established that lot of players get mega transfers on the back of good tournaments, but with Andre Onana quite likely heading to United, I think it'd perhaps be interesting to do a video on players that got huge transfers after single game performances.
Thierry Henry for 11 million? Best signing ever.
That’s like 80 million nowadays yo realize that right
Yeah. Football inflation bro
@@kieronparr3403money inflation
£650k for Henrik Larsson is up there too
@@wasdrankings1518that’s 20m in todays money
People forget just how effin amazing Michael Essien was pre injuries. He's actually a much better comparison to prime N'golo Kante rather than Makelele.
hahahahaha I never get tired of the obsession with Danny Drinkwater.
Ye its hilarious😂😂
I watch this channel on 1.75 speed and it sounds normal
Alfie Alfie it’s not often you get your facts wrong pal but how was Sheringham the most expensive signing in the inaugural PL season of 1992-93 when Shearer joined Blackburn from Southampton a few weeks earlier in July 1992 for a then British transfer record of £3.6m?
@0:58 my boy😂😂
Was I the only one laughing like crazy when Jack Grealish record for being the most expensive Englishman ever was about to be broken by Declan Rice?
You said Ozil was only Arsenal signing in video when you had Henry earlier on 🤦♂️
So, despite Rovers 'buying the league' in 94/95, the most expensive players signed that season and in the two seasons prior were bought by other clubs. One of the biggest myths in football that. We won it fair and square, get it up ye 🌹🔵⚪🌹
You spent more money than anyone else it's buying the league 🤣🤣
Arsenal signed henry too
These numbers seem ridiculous now... how the premier league has exponentially ballooned.
Gunners are looking really good for next season 💺 & that's really unbelievable as they give their best to be in top4 every season yet failed many times & that's what pleases me as a football fan coz supporting Arsenal every season is a pleasure that I just can't describe in words ❤️😎
£2m in 1992 is equal to around £70m in 2023 counting for transfer value inflation.
we love the watford slander
Not really slander if its factually true.
This video is illustrative of why I'm always worried when West Ham spend big money on a player. So many expensive flops.
Still hoping for that Austrian Wunderteam video 😇✌.
Video idea:Best signing every London based team made each year
Rice is our third one
If you count for transfer value inflation, the most expensive signing in PL history is Shevchenko to Chelsea.
All those big signings by Man City look a tiny bit dodgy. Like they'd been a little creative with their accounting. Someone should look into this.
UEFA tried that mate. Turns out that a court of law, which unlike you had seen all the evidence, disagreed.
@@Ceaseless_Watcherhey didn’t disagree, they found Man City guilty but couldn’t fine them or do more given the time boundaries.
@@Ceaseless_Watcher Clearly, you don't understand the term 'time-barred'. Think of how E Jean Carrol sued trump because of the Adult Survivors Act, which allowed her to do so because the statute of limitations was lifted in 2022 on filing three years after the offence. Bill Cosby too. Basically there was a five-year Statue of Limitations with the UEFA FFP rules, so therefore some charges where not included when City knowingly mistated their accounts and also probably worse their subsequent non-cooperation. The Premier League has no such time limitation. Their titles are tainted.
@Jorge-lh6px I love it when thickos try to tell someone who works in court about the law. Time-barred doesn't mean 'guilty but out of time'. It means the charges cannot even be considered. The only thing they were found guilty of was refusing to cooperate with UEFA. Which they said they would from the start as the investigation was corrupt. Given that they were cleared of every single financial charge which was in-time and could be considered, seems they might have been right. I've actually read the report. You haven't have you?
@@gentleken7864ee above for why you have quite literally no understanding of what time-barred means. As for "The Premier League has no such time limitation" Civil Law has time barring. Has nothing to do with the rules of individual organisations. I assume you can explain your assertion that the PL are literally the only organisation in the UK exempt from civil law ?😂. Your comments are nothing more than "Man City guilty because me no likey".
06:20 £15M, it was £15M that you forgot to say as the amount that Shearer was sold for.
Moises Caicedo joined the chat
Video just proves Ferguson spent money. And their fans are complaining about city.
Should’ve adjusted for inflation like £1 million was worth alot more 30 years ago
mate you didn’t even say how much alan shearer was signed for by newcastle. step it up alfie
Hi alfie could you do a thing about the homeless world cup?? Which has just kicked off it such a great event which gets zero advertising but has helped millions of homeless around the world
King Henry 👑
I forgot Di Maria was a record signing. He's best forgotten.
Alan shearer was the most expensive signing in 92/93 come on!!
Because Kante brought a team in Belgium, 7 fan own teams such as bury fc and fisher fc everybody can join now
Buy a share 😊
you said ozil was the only arsenal player but i swear henry did too
just clocked you corrected yourself so ignore that
Gracias De Gea
Is loosing rice to arsenal for 150 million was devastating but good luck to the lad
Shocking transfer fee, that.
Bit weird to say Ozil is the only Arsenal signing on your list after using Henry in the thumbnail
Ok, fine
He never fails the drinkwater to Chelsea slander, regardless of the topic of the video. Hahahahahah

How much players from the 90s cost now 🤔 😳
And the Kepa hate doesn't stop!
Jack Grealish, the first £100 Million cheerleader.
Maguire would have been one of the best defenders in the world in like 1910
Honestly shocked how often Man Utd signings appear in the top 2 given a good slice of fans insist they never “bought” a title by splashing the cash.
You'd be amazed the way they praise their feat of Class of 92 prowess 😂 😂 😂
@@akunwanneprosper7016 they never bought a player for more than the price of a train ticket seems to be the general narrative
There was more then one arsenal signing
Day (lost count): The despicable despot president of Bangladesh Football Federation
This video really gives some credence to the argument of fergie being a check book a manager, tho I disagree with that statement
🤪 Manchester United didn't become successful because they spent more money that everyone else
It’s very indicative that Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City dominate this list. The 3 most successful teams in premier league till now.
You mean the 3 richest teams in history, money wins you titles
The proper video starts at 1:54
To me, player stats and optics have ruined football. In the 90s, you'd buy someone based on them looking really good on the pitch. Now it's all stats, figures, heat maps, percentages etc etc etc and buying based on tight margins and how they fit into transitions and their numbers. Ruined.
Wow. You have not a single football opinion that isn't provably nonsense 😂. I assure you players were not bought like that in the 90's. Look up Charles Reep.
When both Chelsea and Manchester City have started to inflated the transfer market since their takeovers,there are even an average or below average player who would cost more than £50 million,good friends!!!🙏🏻
United were the guys who played 89million for a walking hair dresser but city and Chelsea inflated the market noice 👏 Ederson earns 150K per week whereas De Gea earns 330K per week but city have inflated the market
@@digvijaykole6746 Lol!!!Paul Pogba's signing with Manchester United was not that brilliant but he put his effort and David De Gea boss was more like a legend at Manchester United by earning that much of an amount,good friends!!!Of course,Chelsea have first inflated the transfer market since their takeover by signing numerous number of players with ridiculous amounts followed by Manchester City who have followed suit and two season's ago,they signed Jack Grealish for £100 million who practically now,an average or above average player judging by the standard of his signing,good friend!!!So please,clap and laugh at yourself with your nonsensical reply,good friend!!!👏🤣
@@depekthegreat359Man U signed Sancho, Anthony, and Maguire for £70M+ but Man City and Chelsea are somehow inflating the market.
@@Jorge-lh6px Lol!!!Haven't you analysed Chelsea and Manchester City's transfer spendings since their takeovers which have been more than the Manchester United's on the whole,good friend?
@@Jorge-lh6pxI mean yeah chelsea have continually done much worse then that
Kepa isnt BY FAR the most expensive GK Alisson was nearly 70mil himself. A far better player and probably paid for himself in his perfomances though
The death of football started around 2010. The Premier League has become a luxury plaything for foreign billionaires. There's very little English connection now apart from location of stadiums.
Death of football started with the premier league creation which has destroyed football in England but also influenced the rest of Europe destroyed la Liga, and took the money out of most leagues which is why traditional big leagues like eredivise, Serbian, Portugal are extremely poor
Agreed x@@petesmart1983
Liverpool gonna buy mbappe for sure and shatter the record
shoulda made a dogging joke about collymore
Enzo is way to weird, how can you give 120M for a player that only played 17 games? like... crime right? Chelsea is paying for crime or something, no legal business would spend like that
Lots of factors to be taken.
1. He was signed to Benfica for only about a year until Chelsea came knocking, that means he may have had a lot of time left with Benfica.
2. Chelsea offered a contract for eight years instead of 4/5 like usual contracts do.
3. The world cup massively increased his value, with him winning Young Player of the Tournament and achieving first place with Argentina.

@@petesmart1983 the funny thing is that when henry first arrived arsenal fans didn't think he would be able to shoot on target even if the goal was twice as wide. Lol
