Imagine if Newcastle never signed him, got relegated and the takeover never happened. Even if the takeover would have taken place, the entire scenario would have been so different
Hey alfie, this is a bit different. Can you take a look at every 5 year period, from 1988-93, then 1993-98, then 1998-2003 and so on (so we have 7 of them), and see what the best European league was during that time
If you ever wondered why Messi chose to make that particular goal celebration in front of the Netherlands coach Van Gaal on the 2022 WC, it was because it was Riquelme´s favorite celebration, and it was Van Gaal who sidelined and talked s**t about Riquelme at Barcelona back in the day (and also Di Maria at Man Utd)
Edgar Davids. Many people often forget quite how important he was for Tottenham after he signed for them after leaving Inter Milan. He was pivotal in having Tottenham make the transition from the lower-mid-table mediocrity they had from the early 1990s to the early 2000s into the constant-European-place-challenging Team that they became under Martin Jol from 2005-2007. To go from a team that had never finished above 8th in the Premier League era to two consecutive 5th place finishes with Davids in the team... only for Tottenham to return to 11th in the season after Davids left. It was those two seasons of football with Davids shoreign up the defence in the midfield that transformed Tottenham from being a regular mid-table team to being a European competiton team. Those 2 seasons of what was then UEFA Cup football allowed Tottenham to bring in players like Berbatov, which allowed them to win their last trophy - the league cup in 2008, which kept them playing European football despite an 11th place finish that season. Consequently, they could make more signings to strengthen the squad. Players like Gomes and Carlo Cudiciniin in goal, Chorluka in defence, Modric in midfield, a young Bale from Southampton, and bringing in Roman Pavlyuchenko and Robbie Keane back from Liverpool up front after Berbatov left to Man United. It is so, so, so difficult to overstate quite how important Edgar Davids was to the modern history of Tottenham Hotspur, despite the fact that he only scored 1 goal, and didn't win a trophy.
That’s a great analysis dude, cheers. You should actually consider making a video of this, these kind of themes are fascinating. Edit: I meant dudette!
@@Lymbe06 I have considered trying to make RUclips videos at some point, but I don't really have the technical knowhow when it comes to editing/sound production to make anything high quality, and my full-time job and other parts of life doesn't necessarily leave me a lot of room to make well-scripted and thought-out videos. Also, the topics I find interesting are incredibly nieche (e.g., the effect that Davids had over a two-year period on Tottenham). Not exactly going to rake in the views!
Great analysis and agree about Davids. Not always about the goals and for many teams the difference between success and disaster is leadership, especially when the level of skill is what it is. Also didn't have to mention not any winning trophies at Tottenham in the 2000s. Lmao just giving you a hard time.
Jimmy Glass the goalkeeper who was signed on loan because Carlisle United didn’t have an available goalkeeper and then scored a last minute goal to keep them from being relegated.
I liked Henrik Larsson during his loan spell at Man Utd and found it disappointing that he never signed a permanent contract with the club because i would really have liked to see him play in the EPL forl longer than he did
Honestly, Gabigol to Flamengo in 2019 deserved to be here, and i'm not even a Flamengo fan. Of course it's not european football, but come on, he was the star player in the best year of the team's history. Not only he won the league as top scorer and with a record breaking 90 points after 10 years, when flamengo reached the libertadores final for the first time in >38 years
Remember Gazélec Ajaccio playing in Ligue 1, possibly smallest team ever to do so. They are now dissolved, a video on their rise and fall would be interesting.
Esteban Cambiasso I was going to say Being the biggest reason Leicester survived the 2014 /15 season and we all know what happened in 2015/16 but Cambiasso was a one year contract I just thought it was a loan , still a great signing though and Leicester desperately wanted to keep him
A few months ago I took Hereford to the premier league with a striker I had on loan from man city for 7 seasons. When we could finally afford him, he turned us down to sign for Sheffield Wednesday in the championship.
Courtois is both one of the Chelsea loans systems greatest triumphs and its worst failure. Simultaneously he was sent out on loan to build experience and develop, and it turned him into an absolutely top draw goalkeeper in every way. It also meant that he spent so long in Spain that he laid down roots, getting into a relationship with a Spanish woman and conceiving a child with her and so, inevitably, he ended up needing to go back to Madrid. It is an entirely separate failing that he was allowed to run his contract down so low and no one at Chelsea thought "Why don't we trade him for Jan Oblak"
This is one of the best comments on here. I always thought it was so odd how they handled coutois. He was clearly always going to be great. To think they had kdb and salah and mismanaged them as well. - obviously in a very different way.
How about a documentary about Ernst Happel. I only found one English documentary that has less than 2.000 views (despite being pretty good). I feel like the first manager to win the European Cup with two different clubs in two different countries (and the only one to do so before the Champions League era) deserves more attention.
Morientes and that Monaco team are a lovely throwback. Jérôme Rothen was sick, as was Giuly. And then there was Prso too, along with young Evra. Man, nostalgic times!
Excellent and yeah that my beloved AS Monaco made Fernando Morientes sir to be a legendary loan signing for the team during their best season,good friends!!!:-D
Fernando Morientes AS Monaco FC 3-1 Real Madrid CF (agg: 5-5, Monaco win on away goals) Monaco shock the Spanish champions. By Matthew Spiro at the Stade Louis II AS Monaco FC produced one of the biggest upsets of the season by recovering from a 4-2 first-leg deficit to defeat Real Madrid CF 3-1 and earn a place in the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League on the away goals rule. Giuly double A first-half goal from Raúl González had further increased the visitors' overall advantage but two strikes from Ludovic Giuly either side of a goal from Madrid's on-loan striker Fernando Morientes left the Spanish giants stunned.
Not on the tier of these lads, but Adebayor’s first season at Tottenham, on loan from Man City, was quite stellar. He was phenomenal in particular in the destruction of Newcastle and Liverpool at home, I believe he had 1 goal and 4 assists in the game against the Reds (or something crazy like that)
The 2004 Monaco team also included the right-back Ibarra, an argentinian international on loan from FC Porto, coincientaly the adversary on that year's Champions League final.
I remember a bit Jürgen Klinsmann at the Spurs. I recall he was hated for being a diver, but eventually was celebrated by the fans and whenever he did a goal, he did a dive to celebrate.
Best German players in the premier league of all time. (Day 511) 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.

Teves Rooney Ronaldo That front line was just unfortunate to not have won a treble of its own in 2008, we terrified defenders all over Europe with that United kit that had a white strap on the back, good times
Day 18: 7 Best Loan moves e- Oh hey there’s the video! Thanks a lot Alfie! Since now my streak is over, here is a compilation of your suggestions. Edgar Davis to Barcelona (3) Tammy Abraham to Aston Villa (2) Nathan Dyer to Leicester, Godfrey Poku to Southport, Tyrone Mings to Aston Villa, Henrik Larsson to Manchester United, David Beckham to AC Milan, Joe Willock to Newcastle United, Harry Kane to Millwall, Jesse Lingard to West Ham, James Rodriguez to Bayern Mumich, Obafemi Martins to Birmingham, Nicolas Anelka to Liverpool
I would like to mention David Raya's loan move from Blackburn to Southport... I think Raya was about 19 and had little first team experience when he came to us. Was excellent though, and he almost single handedly earned us a draw at Derby in the Cup (if it wasn't for a late penalty, grrr). Nice to see him doing well at a top level.
As a Villa fan, our most consequential loan signing would have to be Tammy Abraham. Without his 25 goals in 2018-19 there is simply no way we would have been promoted. All the more impressive when you consider that he had offers to cancel his loan with us and go out to a Premier League club but chose to stay with us and finish the job. On a less uplifting note, Robbie Keane joined us in January 2012 during the MLS close season. He scored 3 in 6 appearances and we carried much more goal threat with him in the team. We stayed up by a 2 point margin and the fact that you could make a genuine case for Keane as our Player of the Season despite making so few appearances serves to illustrate just how truly awful we were in that period.
On the subject of this, a in depth video on how so many teams in Italy loan in and out so many players each season would be interesting, can’t see any videos on RUclips exploring that
So curious that Laurent Blanc features in the stock pictures of both of the first two of this ranking, having been Gourcuff's manager at Bordeaux and Recoba's teammate at Inter.

Club owned, run and managed by romanian legend Gheorghe Hagi, a native of the city of Constanța. Youngest champions in Europe this season (average players age), important contribution (some of the vital) from: 2 players born in 2005, one in 2006, 1 in 2003 and 3 in 2002 - all products of the club academy. Came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 in the decisive match against Gigi Becali's team FCSB(who has a claim to Steaua Bucharest history).

Atletico also had Asenjo before De Gea and he was part of the Spain squad as well. Injuries meant his Atletico career didn't last as long as it may have. He was quality for Villareal even up until 2022. In 2021, he faced De Gea, the keeper who replaced him at Atletico, a decade or so later in the Europa League final.
Gourcuff used to play football like he was better than zizou already and he knew it... insane player. Pogba at his most dominant was gourcuff that whole year! cult hero!
How about a video doing a combination of 1 play from each team that finished top 4 this season in Europe in our 5 top league's to do a combined 20 man team I'd be very interested to see that
Kim Kallstorm to arsenal is pretty important too. After that loan deal arsenal learnt that they need to do their homework when they want to loan someone.
Considering there's a whole squad around these players this is somewhat a speculative vlog for once. Pure opinion. Haaland needs Man City and Pep as much as they need Haaland to win the Treble...
Man city clsimed that the Tevez deal was €32 million at the time, and there was no mention of him being the leagues richest players. Not a shock thry are being charged for financial doping since they were lying through their teeth for years
as a Porto supporter, there are 2 loan move that were huge for us and might deserve a spot for different reasons: - Benni McCarthy was loaned to Porto in Mourinho's 1st season, where Porto finished 3rd. due to financial limitations, he wasnt signed for the 2002/2003 season. but after selling Postiga, Porto was able to sign him and the rest is history... - Casemiro - he was great at Porto, winning league and Porto had a great season in the ucl (even beating Bayern Munich at home, in 1 of the best ucl displays ive ever seen by Porto, only being eliminated in the away game, after Alex Sandro and Danilo got suspended and Porto was forced to play with 4 center backs and an unexperienced winger at the time Ricardo Pereira. he was the only loan deal i know where the loanee team had to pay to sign him - Porto had a option to buy for 7,5 millions euros, which was used but Real Madrid also had a buy-back option for 15 millions, which was also used. Porto would have won a lot more money with him, if he hadnt the buy-back clause but Casemiro arrived at Porto as a last minute signing of an unknown quality and left Porto as 1 of the most promissing defensive midfielder in the world.
Not as glamorous as any you mentioned in your video, but Jimmy Glass to Carlisle United was a great loan signing. An awful goalkeeper but scored an injury time winner in the final game of the season to keep Carlisle in the football league.
I would argue that Glass's impact at Carlisle was limited to the five seconds it took him to score that match-winning goal, whereas the players in this list all had substantial impacts for the entirely of their loan spell. Compare Glass to Recoba, and how emphatically he saved Venezia from relegation.
Hello Alfie, can you make a What the Earth is Going On on Parma, one of great team in 90s now facing a crisis when they right now in Serie B and fail to promoted to Serie A for next season when Parma lose in Serie A promotion playoff semifinal in penalties.
Thought Martin Ødergaard at Real Sociedad could have got an honorable mention. But talking about mentions, here's my 16th request: In eight minutes' time, Guyana take on Grenada in the Concacaf Gold Cup. Excited? I'm sure the fans of Gloucester City, in the sixth tier, will be cheering on their midfielder Jacob Berkeley-Agyepong as he plays for Grenada. But imagine how fans of Chalvey Sports FC will be feeling, a team in the UK's 11th tier on the pyramid, every time their player Chris Morgan pulls on the jersey for the island of Anguilla! What are the seven international players currently playing football in the lowest tier of the English pyramid? I've found a lot, but no one lower than Chris Morgan.
City have a better manager, better recruitment and know how to get the squad to play as a team instead of trying to force a "Galacticos" style. PSG will never win the UCL
No disrespect to Berba, but I still can't believe we picked him over Tevez. United should never of done that. Should've played Tevez more in the 08/09 season and they should've offered him the contract a LOT sooner than they did. Easily could've been top 5 striker's we ever had if he stayed. Ruined everything then by signing for our rivals
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
I would like to Apologize to Acerbi since i didn't really believe in him and thought we signed him as a backup. Thank Mista for Inter 💙🖤 UCL run to the final.
No mention of Ivan Toney’s exceptional spells with Scunthorpe, the false dawn before our cataclysmic relegation spell (which may not yet be over). That said, how about a series on the Seven best stadiums, because I’m having a hard time with Spurs home being better than Glanford Park.
Honourable mention to Joe Willock, who single handedly kept Steve Bruce in a job for an extra year and Newcastle in the Premier league!
Agreed, and another mention for Hatem Ben Arfa seems deserved to me
he gave him one at the end
Came on to praise Wilock. His form basically forced Mike Ashley to sign him that summer.

- Casemiro - he was great at Porto, winning league and Porto had a great season in the ucl (even beating Bayern Munich at home, in 1 of the best ucl displays ive ever seen by Porto, only being eliminated in the away game, after Alex Sandro and Danilo got suspended and Porto was forced to play with 4 center backs and an unexperienced winger at the time Ricardo Pereira. he was the only loan deal i know where the loanee team had to pay to sign him - Porto had a option to buy for 7,5 millions euros, which was used but Real Madrid also had a buy-back option for 15 millions, which was also used. Porto would have won a lot more money with him, if he hadnt the buy-back clause but Casemiro arrived at Porto as a last minute signing of an unknown quality and left Porto as 1 of the most promissing defensive midfielder in the world.
Not as glamorous as any you mentioned in your video, but Jimmy Glass to Carlisle United was a great loan signing. An awful goalkeeper but scored an injury time winner in the final game of the season to keep Carlisle in the football league.
I would argue that Glass's impact at Carlisle was limited to the five seconds it took him to score that match-winning goal, whereas the players in this list all had substantial impacts for the entirely of their loan spell. Compare Glass to Recoba, and how emphatically he saved Venezia from relegation.
Alfie, mate, have a look at Ronnie Rosenthal at Liverpool in 1989-90. He pretty much won them the league.
0:46 Braga, TJ Tatran Cierny Balog and Gibraltar: Am I a joke to you?
‘7 longest loan spells’ would be interesting
Can't believe you overlooked Ollie McBurnie at the mighty Barnsley
Hello Alfie, can you make a What the Earth is Going On on Parma, one of great team in 90s now facing a crisis when they right now in Serie B and fail to promoted to Serie A for next season when Parma lose in Serie A promotion playoff semifinal in penalties.
Thought Martin Ødergaard at Real Sociedad could have got an honorable mention. But talking about mentions, here's my 16th request: In eight minutes' time, Guyana take on Grenada in the Concacaf Gold Cup. Excited? I'm sure the fans of Gloucester City, in the sixth tier, will be cheering on their midfielder Jacob Berkeley-Agyepong as he plays for Grenada. But imagine how fans of Chalvey Sports FC will be feeling, a team in the UK's 11th tier on the pyramid, every time their player Chris Morgan pulls on the jersey for the island of Anguilla! What are the seven international players currently playing football in the lowest tier of the English pyramid? I've found a lot, but no one lower than Chris Morgan.
Jimmy Glass scoring a goal for Carlisle to keep them in the Football League? An emergency loan keeper, his goal kept them up for another 4 years
Recoba one of my favorite players ever
Great list but cant lie I'm a bit disappointed Kim Kallstrom at Arsenal didn't get a mention.
I am once again asking for a video about Algeria's unofficial FLN national team (1958-1962)
wont have made the list but Abraham saved us at villa, could’ve been in Debrys position if we hadn’t got playoffs that year
Could you do a video on how the england squad would look without premier league players?
amad diallo should be an honourable mention

😢 For United not getting Tevez on a permanant even though it worked out in the end
Ranking all Wc Winning Managers
Do best position changes in football
Not watching this one but Kieran Richardson to WBA under Bryan Robson has to be up there.
After this year's UCL Final I have one question: What is Manchester City doing right that PSG is getting wrong?
Having the right manager is surely one of the reasons. Playing in a much competitive league doesn't hurt either.
And City are smart with their signings unlike PSG signing 4 new midfielders in one window and then playing them out of position
City have a better manager, better recruitment and know how to get the squad to play as a team instead of trying to force a "Galacticos" style. PSG will never win the UCL
Joe Willock honourable mention
Question: if a player is playing and living in the England how can they be paid in Euros when the currency is pounds?
China and DPRK might not really be one but Alfie fully and deservedly put the "P" in PEOPLE'S😤
The People's Channel🔥⚡
No disrespect to Berba, but I still can't believe we picked him over Tevez. United should never of done that. Should've played Tevez more in the 08/09 season and they should've offered him the contract a LOT sooner than they did. Easily could've been top 5 striker's we ever had if he stayed. Ruined everything then by signing for our rivals
I bet members of the Austrian Wunderteam would also have been great loan signings 😇✌.
Being in charge of cover ups at the Vatican...😂😂😂😂😂
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
Bayern didn't save them, they helped them with a relatively small loan but that wasn't saving the club, that's a wrong narrative
Larsson was an amazing player
Fraser forster second loan to celtic could be one
❤❤❤❤
I would like to Apologize to Acerbi since i didn't really believe in him and thought we signed him as a backup. Thank Mista for Inter 💙🖤 UCL run to the final.
Still waiting on the history of Alfie video

Proper Comment: Well done to that other Streak Commenter! Glad to see you get the video you wanted. =] #PeoplesChannel
Thanks! Though I doubt he read my comment
@@lucaslonchampt613 I'm sure it tickled something in the back of his subconscious. =]
Am I the only one who confuses Yohan Gourcuff and Yuri Djorkaeff because of their similar names?
Yes
No mention of Ivan Toney’s exceptional spells with Scunthorpe, the false dawn before our cataclysmic relegation spell (which may not yet be over).
That said, how about a series on the Seven best stadiums, because I’m having a hard time with Spurs home being better than Glanford Park.
It's sad what happened to Scunthorpe.
