2018 should have been Van Dijk! I've never seen a single defender have that much impact on a team ever. Dude turned a dogshit defence into a world class one pretty much overnight. Zaniolo is a fantastic player, but he hasn't come close to impacting his side in the way Van Dijk has.

yeah i was shocked too at first but considering how much he declined in his last 2 seasons at the club and the fact that we sold him for free (+€5.00m adds on) to a direct title challenger, it kinda makes sense he wasn’t included even tho he’s our third highest goalscorer of all time and one of our best players ever
Wenger and his scouting team really were amazing at picking out transfers (during his early years at least); Vieira, Ljungberg, Henry, Pires, and Campbell all in the space of 7 or so years
2003 HAS to be Ronaldinho. He transformed Barcelona, turning into arguably THE team to watch in the world. His effects are still felt to this day. His era is iconic. Nobody talks about a 'Kaka era', which is quite unfortunate because he was brilliant. That's just an indication of what Ronaldinho and later CR7/Messi meant to the sport. Kaka was almost sandwiched inbetween. We can debate who achieved more on the pitch between Ronaldinho and Kaka but for overall importance and changing the landscape of the entire sport, Ronaldinho is quite literally on another level to Kaka. In fact other than Messi and CR7 there has not been a player since whose impact can be even remotely compared. 2003's Greatest Signing: Ronaldinho.
Definitely a Ballon d'or candidate in 2002 before his horrible injury. His absence combined with the one of Zidane really is a big what if concerning World Cup 2002.

going for aguero over neuer shows the premier league bias. During the 9 years with Bayern he won 8 Bundesliga titles, 6 german cups, 2 champions leagues, became world champion with germany. Is captain of the team for several years.
Yes because we all know Bayern were terrible before Neuer sign and turned the club around, whereas man city were already dominating everything when Aquero joined........... wait......that's not right.
I just loved watching Ronaldinho playing. What a talent. Unfortunately he could not keep it up for a longer period. In his Prime he had everything. Closest to Messi.
I wouldn't argue with the Cole Vidic one it's close but Kaka was the best player on planet Earth during his AC Milan days whether you like it or hate it. You go watch Kaka in the champions league especially in 2005 and 2007 and you will know what he meant by best signing in 2003
It’s almost comical how anti-Manchester United this video is, I’m not saying United should of had all of the inclusions but they deserved more recognition then they got
True he even forgot to mention Evra when he put Cole as the best signing even saying Cole was the best ever left back. Yes Cole was amazing at times but Evra was just as influential to Uniteds success, probably even more.
@@SpringtrapLover2010 The bias is unreal here, Ashley Cole is one of the best LBs to ever play the game, not saying Evra was a bad player, but context is very important in your judgement
Great video as always. I'm kinda iffy on 2004's selection though. No offensive to Cambiasso, who was a terrific signing, but surely Rooney, who ended up becoming Man Utd's record goal scorer, should top that list. 2015's choice of N'Golo Kante ahead of KDB is kinda weird too.
True Rooney also became Englands all time top scorer during his time at Old Trafford. I think the choice of Kante above KDB was more to do with value and Kante went on to win the PL with both Leicester and Chelsea.
@@vatsalsingh1555 Kaka is a great player but the influence Ronny bring to Barca is something else...he literally make people love him and Barca at the same time ..

Kaka at the time was better than Ronaldo. Ronaldo became the best at Real. Least you forget what milan and kaka did to Man Utd with Ronaldo in the champion league?
@@bitterlemon1959 Lewandowski was the better transfer. He was a world class striker since his arrival in Munich and right now he is the best player in the world. His wages were half of Ronaldos and his transfer fee was zero. Ronaldo may be the better player, but his transfer wasnt better.

Henry over Shevchenko... a Ballandor winner and a man that won Milan Champions League title to Henry... Milan signed him with a record fee at the time and made double their money at the transfer to Chelsea. In every way to see it, financial or successful, Shevchenko was a far better signing!!!
Thank youu for mentioning Pires !! One of the greatest french footballer of all time . top 6 arsenal player , crszy passer , strong , direct . Loved him !
I was skeptic of him chosing ashley cole over marcelo. But I can understand some english bias being englishman himself. But chosing pogba to juventus, over modric to real or hazard to chelsea is just horrendous.
Great video, man. Can only imagine the effort it took. Just one opinion, I believe Kimmich should have ranked higher than Kante for 2015. Kimmich is younger, cheaper, and now, better as well.
Neymar going to barcellona in 2013 was one of the best signings ever, not only he was one of the component of the best attacking trio ever, he was sold at a world record fee to psg, however you look at it, it should have been there in Couthinho's place.
zaniolo ahead of van dijk is absolutely mad.He has not won anything in Roma(you can say Roma have spiralled down a bit) and you are banking on himcgetting a sell on price while not looking at a defender who has helped his team win ucl and league . It was also bold of you to assume no one could argue about sancho signing but again Dortmund have not won anything with him except dfl supercup which to be frank is nothing infront of salah with ucl and league in the pockets.And i know sancho might go for 100 mill but again you are assuming that he might and considering his form right now and his contract spell it is doubtful
How couldn't it be Salah? At the end of his first season it was basically Beatlemania at Anfield just because of him. The most important signing of the Klopp era not including vdv
No doubt we will get back into the championship but it's wether we can stay, he have a league 1 team ATM so will need some good signings but looks very promising Edit: need more signings like Snodgrass, robo, Maguire and Bowen. Good players we made excellent
Day 1: Best 11 in the world (or Premier League) with one player selected from each calendar year since 2010(or seasons). The Premier League option is better, as the selection is much tougher. For example, if you pick 13/14 Yaya to boss the midfield, you have to sacrifice 13/14 Suarez.
@@andreafresca9869 a goal a game suggests goals aren’t the issue there. There are weaknesses in other areas of their 11. They have quite a poor goalkeeper in my opinion.
@@benjaminmee3751 yeah, because they signed Ronaldo but regressed everywhere else on the pitch I know it's not his fault, but I still don't think it's that good of a signing because of it Anyways, fuck Juve
Surely 2012 should be Jamie Vardy to Leicester City for £1m??? 8yrs, 140 goals and the most unlikely Premier League win ever and still banging them in at almost 34!
7 players sold for the biggest profit multiplier. So, for example if a player was bought for 1 mil and sold for 100 mil, that would be 100x profit and probably take close to top spot. I think this might make an interesting video
Just no. Really. Kaka better signing than Dinho when they had just won champions league same season. Ronhaldinho transformed Barca and was the far better player
Cant understand the pick for 2018. Thats the year when Bayern Munich brought in Leon Goretzka as a free transfer, who was crucial for Bayerns treble win in the following season.
Figo to Real Madrid in 2000 revolutionised the world transfer market. Lampard to Chelsea in 2001 was way more important for the world football then Buffon's transfer. Sorry, just my opinion.
@@tomhall4986 he said in the video there are various factors into what makes the best signing the fact rvp had only 1 world class season is a big factor
Vardy to Leicester City in 2012 is, imo, a better acquisition than Pogba or Hazard. Cost £1m and scored 132 goals (so far) which got them promoted AND won the PL. At 33 he doesn't look like stopping, is rarely injured, and they could probably still command £15-20m for him if they wanted to sell as he's home-grown and guarantees 15+ goals a season. He was as instrumental as Kante in 2015 and cost way less.

How was Ronaldo not the best signing in both 1996 and 1997? He was the best player each time and broke the world record. This should be title the most shrewd signing from 1995-2020.
True. Ronaldo was by far the best player in the world when he played for Barcelona and his first season at Inter, and he actually picks Henrik Larsson.
Crazy, I know and Eden was transferred from Lille for only 40 million Euro and WENT to Real for. 100 million Euro. He was technically by far the best player in the Premier league in my Opinion.

WTF! Ronaldinho was the best player of the world at Barça. Sometimes it didn't have the statistics to prove it, but you see the faces of defenders who were up against him and you can see that they know he is the alfa. He turned a good Barça team into a danger that nobody wanted to face. Plus he was pure magic XD Kaka just took the role of majestic Rui Costa and adapted it perfectly to modern football for THAT team (thast's why he never played close to that level in Real or in Brazil NT).

@@andreitv9921 he lasted four years longer than him and cost way more money. People overrate Buffon because of his longevity but at no point has he been the best goalkeeper in the world.

Not so sure on the Jadon Sancho 2017 selection, yes he is a phenomenal player and is doing bits for Dortmund while pushing himself into the England squad and will sell for a huge sum, but Salah and Robertson helped Liverpool get to back to back Champions League finals, winning one, and winning the Premier League, Robertson went to Liverpool for under £10 million and Salah cost just shy of £40 million but has been one of the top scorers in the league in each season he has been at the club (not a Liverpool fan)

I just loved watching Ronaldinho playing. What a talent. Unfortunately he could not keep it up for a longer period. In his Prime he had everything. Closest to Messi.
My man literary said Cole and kaka were better pickups than vidic and dinho 😂😂
Am still suprised😂
I wouldn't argue with the Cole Vidic one it's close but Kaka was the best player on planet Earth during his AC Milan days whether you like it or hate it. You go watch Kaka in the champions league especially in 2005 and 2007 and you will know what he meant by best signing in 2003
It’s almost comical how anti-Manchester United this video is, I’m not saying United should of had all of the inclusions but they deserved more recognition then they got
True he even forgot to mention Evra when he put Cole as the best signing even saying Cole was the best ever left back. Yes Cole was amazing at times but Evra was just as influential to Uniteds success, probably even more.
@@SpringtrapLover2010 The bias is unreal here, Ashley Cole is one of the best LBs to ever play the game, not saying Evra was a bad player, but context is very important in your judgement
@@SpringtrapLover2010 vidic was the same time I think and he’s one of the best ever prem defenders and a multi title winning captain
Never even mentioned De Gea or Van Nistelrooy.

How is 2007 not Torres or Ribery and 2017 not Salah? What about Virgil Van Dijk in 2018? This is a very confusing list
Alfie has other ideas
Forget them talk about Robertson
Idk either. Ribery achieved so much more for Bayern than Bale ever had for Tottenham. Not even an honorable mention. Wtf
1996 Georghe hagi to Galatasaray must be a honorable mention he gave us 4 league championship in a row and a europe cup and a super copa
Haaland might end up being the greatest signing of the century.. He has once in a lifetime type skills.
Lukakau with compsure
@@walters9218 that describes him brilliantly
Not even an honourable mention for Alexis Sanchez to Arsenal
Lol
Great video as always.
I'm kinda iffy on 2004's selection though. No offensive to Cambiasso, who was a terrific signing, but surely Rooney, who ended up becoming Man Utd's record goal scorer, should top that list. 2015's choice of N'Golo Kante ahead of KDB is kinda weird too.
True Rooney also became Englands all time top scorer during his time at Old Trafford. I think the choice of Kante above KDB was more to do with value and Kante went on to win the PL with both Leicester and Chelsea.
No Eto´o was bigger transfer
2001 I still choose Lampard over Buffon
I would put ronaldinho to barca over even kaka in 2003, ribery to bayern over bale in 2007 and neuer to bayern over aguero in 2011
Absolutely agree with you. lamps won everything possible with chelsea. what did gg win with juve apart from the Italian league title
@@vatsalsingh1555 Kaka is a great player but the influence Ronny bring to Barca is something else...he literally make people love him and Barca at the same time ..
The Ronaldinho snub brought tears to my eyes 😭🤧
Blasphemy tbh lol
No one can Beat Barca's signing back in 2003, it was Ronaldinho man that was best signing in 2003
When you're trying to fill up the word count: "...in 2001, which was a 12 month period, in which..." 6:32
At first I was thinking: "Wow bergkamp should have won that, Alfie is gonna be bias against Arsenal here"
How wrong I was...
I think the club is not good but the some players are brilliant (RVP, Aubamyang etc.)
This is coming from a Hull fan btw
Kaka was really good, but can you really pick him over man uniteds stroke of genius of signing an unknown young portugese winger called ronaldo from sporting lisbon?
he's so biased against ronaldo he isn't even trying to hide it anymore. He even called lewandowski a better transfer.
Kaka at the time was better than Ronaldo. Ronaldo became the best at Real. Least you forget what milan and kaka did to Man Utd with Ronaldo in the champion league?
@@bitterlemon1959 Lewandowski was the better transfer. He was a world class striker since his arrival in Munich and right now he is the best player in the world. His wages were half of Ronaldos and his transfer fee was zero. Ronaldo may be the better player, but his transfer wasnt better.
@@williamlee7672 ronaldo won the balon dor next year after kaka did so you cant really say kaka was the better player at the time. in 2003 they were both prospects, maybe kaka was a bit better as we was older too, but when you compare their careers and what they grew to be you ll see ronaldo was the better transfer
@@niklasharle1405 when you get yourself a player with 583 goal involvements in 438 games, an average of more than a goal a game, lots of trophies won and merchandise sold and on top of that you still manage to sell him on a profit then you know you made a hell of a deal. ronaldo brought in way more money for real than lewa does for bayern and when it comes to performances there s not even a debate.
Henry over Shevchenko... a Ballandor winner and a man that won Milan Champions League title to Henry...
Milan signed him with a record fee at the time and made double their money at the transfer to Chelsea.
In every way to see it, financial or successful, Shevchenko was a far better signing!!!

I think Van Dijk is the best 2018 signing. He at least deserved an honourable mention
I was skeptic of him chosing ashley cole over marcelo. But I can understand some english bias being englishman himself.
But chosing pogba to juventus, over modric to real or hazard to chelsea is just horrendous.
Great video, man. Can only imagine the effort it took. Just one opinion, I believe Kimmich should have ranked higher than Kante for 2015. Kimmich is younger, cheaper, and now, better as well.
No mention of Vardy. 1 mill cost and Leicester have made millions and millions out of him.
Well done on 97 mate, was waiting to see henrik, and can obviously accept R9 ahead of him.
The 20 dislikes comes from Jordi Alba and Andres Iniesta when you said nobody have more telephatic connection with Messi
Series idea: 7 biggest signings every year since 2000 rated /10
Neymar going to barcellona in 2013 was one of the best signings ever, not only he was one of the component of the best attacking trio ever, he was sold at a world record fee to psg, however you look at it, it should have been there in Couthinho's place.
zaniolo ahead of van dijk is absolutely mad.He has not won anything in Roma(you can say Roma have spiralled down a bit) and you are banking on himcgetting a sell on price while not looking at a defender who has helped his team win ucl and league .
It was also bold of you to assume no one could argue about sancho signing but again Dortmund have not won anything with him except dfl supercup which to be frank is nothing infront of salah with ucl and league in the pockets.And i know sancho might go for 100 mill but again you are assuming that he might and considering his form right now and his contract spell it is doubtful
How couldn't it be Salah? At the end of his first season it was basically Beatlemania at Anfield just because of him. The most important signing of the Klopp era not including vdv
2012- Modric, 2013- Bale, 2017- Salah, 2018 - VVD. Ronaldo to Real is the greatest transfer of all time.
How did he put Juventus signing pogba over Madrid signing modric and chelsea signing hazard
sell on value I guess
@@yashpokhriyal3604 hazard's sell on value was 50m more than pogba's

Day 1: Best 11 in the world (or Premier League) with one player selected from each calendar year since 2010(or seasons).
The Premier League option is better, as the selection is much tougher. For example, if you pick 13/14 Yaya to boss the midfield, you have to sacrifice 13/14 Suarez.
Luis Suarez to Barcelona was a transfer worth an honorable mention.
I'd pick Neymar for 2013, Suarez/Griezmann for 2014
We're really gonna act like liverpool didn't sign van dijk and alisson in 2018 and pick zaniolo instead

@@joeburns1405 coz Zaniolo if wasn't hit by a year long injuries would have been the best youngster in the world

2018 - Ronaldo. 69 apps, 60 goals.
His age😑
@@abhaagrawal5780 makes it an even better signing. How many other signings of a 34 year old resulted in almost 1 goal per game? Name 1. I’ll wait.
For a team that only took steps back ever since he came - not hating on Ronaldo btw, it's just how it is
@@andreafresca9869 a goal a game suggests goals aren’t the issue there. There are weaknesses in other areas of their 11. They have quite a poor goalkeeper in my opinion.
@@benjaminmee3751 yeah, because they signed Ronaldo but regressed everywhere else on the pitch
I know it's not his fault, but I still don't think it's that good of a signing because of it
Anyways, fuck Juve
Surely 2012 should be Jamie Vardy to Leicester City for £1m??? 8yrs, 140 goals and the most unlikely Premier League win ever and still banging them in at almost 34!
2003 best transfer Ronaldinho
Kaka was good but he is not close to Ronaldinho...
Edited..
Also Neymar over Coutinho.....
Haaland is scary as shit, at this rate he'll be a powerhouse comparable to Ronaldo, less flare but just as many goals.
Pogba over Hazard is ludicrous my G
7 players sold for the biggest profit multiplier. So, for example if a player was bought for 1 mil and sold for 100 mil, that would be 100x profit and probably take close to top spot. I think this might make an interesting video
Could you do every premier league club to defy the odds in every season. E.G. 15-16 Leicester or 19-20 Sheffield United
Think Pirlo should be ahead of Aguero for 2012. He was the main figure that started Juve's domination of Serie A
Just no. Really. Kaka better signing than Dinho when they had just won champions league same season. Ronhaldinho transformed Barca and was the far better player
he was not the far better player. no player ever can be "far" better than kaka. he was slightly better
Cant understand the pick for 2018. Thats the year when Bayern Munich brought in Leon Goretzka as a free transfer, who was crucial for Bayerns treble win in the following season.
Neuer > Agüero
Comparing a goalkeeper to a striker...genius
Figo to Real Madrid in 2000 revolutionised the world transfer market. Lampard to Chelsea in 2001 was way more important for the world football then Buffon's transfer. Sorry, just my opinion.
Not even a mention of RVP in 2012 ..... man basically carried united to the title
Best January signings
This guy is so biased
He only had 1 good season definitely not the best signing of 2012 considering how short lived his impact was
@@brandonharris9769 clueless I can't even be bothered exposing why your opinion is wrong
@@tomhall4986 he said in the video there are various factors into what makes the best signing the fact rvp had only 1 world class season is a big factor
Luis Suarez move to Barcelona is the best signing of 2014 cuz he won all trophies in his first season at barcelona
I thought 2018 is Virgil Van Dijk tho
Vardy to Leicester City in 2012 is, imo, a better acquisition than Pogba or Hazard. Cost £1m and scored 132 goals (so far) which got them promoted AND won the PL. At 33 he doesn't look like stopping, is rarely injured, and they could probably still command £15-20m for him if they wanted to sell as he's home-grown and guarantees 15+ goals a season. He was as instrumental as Kante in 2015 and cost way less.
I had some problems but was going along but No ronaldinho is a call off soo ridicules man and I am ac milan fan kaka was nothing close to ronaldinho ...
Literally commented the same thing what a joke Ronhaldinho has to be there ahead of Kaka
Kaka was the best player in the world for a large part of his time in Milan and then was sold for a massive profit
Cambiaso over rooney or Drogba 😤
@@tommyvinceze6249 He was the best player in the world for half a year in 2007 Dinho from 2004-2007 was best player in the world.

@@tommyvinceze6249 just comparing the two is a joke and disrespect for ronaldinho kaka even in acmilan man can argue he was not the best at his time
Ronaldo , Rivaldo, Ronaldhino.
I also feel that bergkamp is the greatest premier league player, above Henry.
2011 needed to be Neuer, he is probably the best Goalkeeper ever.
Ever heard of Lev Yashin, Gordon Banks, Iker Casillas, Gianuigi Buffon or Dino Zoff
@@jakeportas1143 Casillas and Buffon are the only ones who can hope to Compete. Lev Yashin Gordon Banks or Sepp Maier are e different generation and can't be Compared to the Modern Goalkeepers. Just like Pele and Maradonna shouldn't be Compared to Messi and Ronaldo.
@@nnzmrgnbgn Different generations, yes, but Yashin and Banks are still well above Neuer. Neuer is great, and one of the greatest of his generation, still not THE greatest though
Neuer made a bigger impact in the Champions League then that little bitch Aguero, 2011 is CLEARLY Neuer !
How was Ronaldo not the best signing in both 1996 and 1997? He was the best player each time and broke the world record. This should be title the most shrewd signing from 1995-2020.
True. Ronaldo was by far the best player in the world when he played for Barcelona and his first season at Inter, and he actually picks Henrik Larsson.
THIS GUY CHOOSE PHILLIPE COUTINHO OVER EDEN HARZAD
Crazy, I know and Eden was transferred from Lille for only 40 million Euro and WENT to Real for. 100 million Euro. He was technically by far the best player in the Premier league in my Opinion.

@@yvesgysel9834 1. Coutinho turned a much larger profit than Hazard did.
2. That was 2012, not 2013.

Feels biased towards Arsenal, given the achievements of Liverpool, they should have 3 in a row too
And United how he didn't pick Rooney is stupid
I think that van dijk should have been included because he contributed to two champions league final one premier league one champions league and he won the fifa men's player of the year
Smh Mo Salah disrespected on this channel by a overhyped English prospect again. I guarantee time will prove me right when Mo Salah is seen as a Liverpool and Premier League legend while Jadon Sancho becomes the next Theo Walcott when he joins a Prem side.

WTF! Ronaldinho was the best player of the world at Barça. Sometimes it didn't have the statistics to prove it, but you see the faces of defenders who were up against him and you can see that they know he is the alfa. He turned a good Barça team into a danger that nobody wanted to face. Plus he was pure magic XD Kaka just took the role of majestic Rui Costa and adapted it perfectly to modern football for THAT team (thast's why he never played close to that level in Real or in Brazil NT). Good video! love the channel
10:17 I would personally like Sergio Ramos more if he didn't play so dirty and didn't play for Real Madrid
He's an effective defender it doesn't matter if he'd dirty he's still one of the best in the world
I pick Bale over Coutinho for 2013. Bale felt like the last piece of puzzle in that Real team winning 4 CL's
Still think Salah and Robbo are far better signings than Sancho
Day 1 East Germany Oberliga teams 1990-1991: where are they now?
Tbh I'd think off lampard as a better signing than buffon, lampard was only for 11 million. If buffon wouldn't have joined juve I can still imagine them breaking records but if lampard didn't join Chelsea they wouldn't be as successful as they're
Well yes but he also lasted around a decade more than him at the club
@@andreitv9921 he lasted four years longer than him and cost way more money. People overrate Buffon because of his longevity but at no point has he been the best goalkeeper in the world.

@@tommyvinceze6249 Buffon overrated?Go get a checkup
@@nikolas8203 look he’s an absolute legend don’t get me wrong. Been at the top for a very long time. But at his peak he was never the best goalkeeper in the world.

@@tommyvinceze6249 Neuer was above him only for some time
Not so sure on the Jadon Sancho 2017 selection, yes he is a phenomenal player and is doing bits for Dortmund while pushing himself into the England squad and will sell for a huge sum, but Salah and Robertson helped Liverpool get to back to back Champions League finals, winning one, and winning the Premier League, Robertson went to Liverpool for under £10 million and Salah cost just shy of £40 million but has been one of the top scorers in the league in each season he has been at the club (not a Liverpool fan)
