Two minutes in and the first two mentions are Peter Schmeichel (Man United) & Joe Hart (Man City), cracking unbiased analysis as always
I like these chats but don't come here for smart discussions 😂
Schmeichel signed in 91 so how is he the biggest bargain in pl history?
The Utd fan is beyond sense with his bias
Yeah it’s unbelievable but completely predictable
Well they were both bargains
Mahrez to Leicester for €500k meant a league title and huge profit. Could give the Salah pick a run for its money. At least worth a mention.
Oh Yh fax in fact this was a much bigger bargain
I agree. They are somehow equivalent if you say that Liverpool didn’t know they were getting a Ballon d’or level player for a few years Lol . But Mahrez is a bargain
Wasn’t bought in the prem though I think that’s why
@@archiesmith1674 yes yes! You’re right! Mea culpa! Thanks for correcting me
Patrick viera 3.5 mill. What a player
Signing Coutinho for less than £10 million, developing him into one of the best attacking midfielders/wingers in the world and eventually selling him for over £140 million to buy Alisson, Van Dijk and Fabinho was incredible business
Behave yourself 😂
@@Dony1878what’s wrong
@@Dony1878he’s not wromg
@DonyTwyer bang your head against the wall, mate
@@Dony1878 having on of the best midfielders at the time and selling him for 14x of what you payed for him isnt a bargain in your eyes?????
If you’re reading this before watching , it’s all Adam naming Man Utd players bought for big fees at the time but are considered small now due to the market
They need rory back
Ronaldo for 18 million at the time wasn't a huge fee at all
@@jameskadar6555 for an 18 year old nobody had ever heard of ? It was a big fee
@@billymabum3514
He went on to win everything with Man United whilst becoming the best footballer on the planet in the 2008 season. Also, Manchester United made a huge profit after selling him.
@@sirishbaral3177 that’s not the conversation. Yes he turned out amazing , yes he won everything. But it was a huge fee for an unknown teenager . If we’re talking about profit then surely it’s coutinho
Its actually hilarious how much McKola dislikes Liverpool. You can see it physically hurts him when he has to talk positively about any of their players 😂
He compliments them a lot
i think you’re deluded i’ve seen him compliment them quite a lot
@@LoyalFan9383he compliments them becouse he has standards but when answer is not so clear he becomes baised
@@IgnorantWeed that’s with everyone
As if Liverpool fans arent the same. It is what it is. Very few are completely unbiased in either camp when it comes to rival clubs.
Biased af but Andrew Robertson for 8mill from hull is a steal
Also sold kevin stewart to hull for 4m that summer, so essentially cost 4m.
They hate Robertson
They picked Irwin who was bought before the PL was formed which goes against the title
Sami hyypia 3 million
not better then mr consistent always 8/10 Danise irwin there are levels
Find it funny how Azpilcueta isn't mentioned when he was signed for 7 million , Won 2PL's 1 Champions League, 1 League cup, 1 FA cup, 2 Europa leagues, Supercup and Club world cup
Loved the insistence from mckola to recognise how great of a bargain Seamus Coleman was whilst buvey was titting around trying to justify how 50 million quid is a bargain
just Man City things, tbh
I know Buvey & Adam both don't rate Robbo, but he's clearly the biggest steal in Prem History. From Relegated to winning the Prem. 🔥
Vardy for £1m isn’t bad
Not a bigger bargain than Cantona
@@lerouxbodenstein9640prob is
@@lerouxbodenstein9640Wtf yes he is? Jamie Vardy taking Leicester who were in the championship and promoting them to Premier League and winning the whole fucking league for the first time in their history was massive. Cantona you can say was the better footballer, but he was already doing well with Leeds and won the league them the season prior to joining Man Utd. Vardy was playing against farmers for Fleetwood town before joining Leicester. also 1m in 1992 is different from 1m in 2010’s.
The fact they didn't even mention Coutinho is criminal. Liverpool made like 130M profit & won titles with the invested profit
That was because Neymar left Barca and Barca had 222mil to spend and they stupidly spent majority of it on Countiho lol
Title, singular mate, you won 1 prem 😂
@@SlicedBreadEd Until VVD & Ali retires, will be multiple when City get stripped aswell
@@JustinFC_FIFA still counts & wasn’t the same window
@@SlicedBreadEdwhat’s so funny
Azpilicueta for 7m was pretty great considering he won everything at chelsea
7mil then, not expensive, but not a bargain. Should be mention, but not win
@@kurtsudheim825not a bargain?!?!?
@@danielpyne6718 was a great bargain, to the point where if Coleman wasn’t so cheap it should be Azpi in the team. Could even make a case for him anyways considering what he achieved and the fact he was always in the team for the majority of his time at the club. Only counter is he played CB/LB a lot.
The disrespect on Azpilicueta is insane. Bought for £7M, at the club for 10 years, became club captain, and won every single trophy in European football. The fact that he wasn’t even mentioned is a joke
Classic to this podcast. They’re morons
Exactly
Could put Vardy up top, most expensive Championship player ever signed at the time at £1 million and went on to win the Premier League, win the golden boot, play in the Champions League, play in tournaments for England, 100+ premier league goals and most of those he achieved after turning 30 which makes it even more impressive
Edit: also got the record for scoring most Premier League games in a row at like 12 games or something
Azpi for Chelsea for £7m. Went on to be the only Chelsea player to win every possible trophy for the club.
Azpilicueta was a bargain. Won everything
"You don't always have to win things"..
That's the first time I've ever heard a united fan say that.. ever.
Not only was Irwin not a Prem transfer, as he was signed before the Prem formed in 1992, but his fee of £625,000 was far from a bargain at the time. It wasn’t a hugely expensive transfer either, but was a relatively average transfer fee for the time. Andy Robertson for £8m is an absolute steal. In terms of value for money, and the transfer in comparison to other transfers at the time, it’s the best bargain lb transfer
Kante should have won the ballon Dor the year he won the premier league with Chelsea. He had been so good for 2 solid years.
He was genuinely the best player in the world in 2021 I still can’t believe he didn’t win it
It's not about Chelsea numptey, it's bargain, which is the Leicester transfer. & no he shouldn't have won the balloon door because defensive players rarely win it, & he was in the best 11, but player of the year nah, also, it's a single year bit 2 so makes your point incalid
He was. Sadly the bdor is a rigged award for pessi.
@@joubeid8311 he was genuinely nowhere near the best player in the world in 2021. The most casual football opinion you can have is that Kante or Jorginho desvered the ballon’dor in 2021. Kante was amazing in the semi finals and final of the UCL. Average in the league and had a poor euros. In what possible world was he the best player in the world?
Mahrez to Leicester £440,000!!
Good shout. I think Leicester could even have 3 players in the team with Kante and Vardy as well
@@oufc90not could, they should
Azpi not getting a shout is criminal
Atleast Buvey was suggesting other teams players. Mckola was a United or nothing
Another unbiased analysis guys great video guys!
What’s wrong
@@LoyalFan9383 all they want to talk about (especially mckola) is united and city, embarassing analysis, you can almost see adam hurt whenever a liverpool player is mentioned
@@stereop not really
@@LoyalFan9383 Nah it's clear, almost everyone he suggests is United
@@cowboyorangesoda8408 oh Yh true but in this case he’s right
How was azpillicueta not mentioned
How Jamie Vardy wasn't mentioned I'll never know.. signed from the Fleetwood for less than £1m, took them all the way to the top, won the Prem & went far in Europe
Couple of modern day signings, 6M Gabriel Martinelli, what a bargain! I think Brighton signed Caicedo for 4.5M another great bargain!
they havent won anything
Liverpool signed Sterling for about £3million or something as well, Fabregas signed for Arsenal for free when he was 16.
Not to mention Estupinan.
@@ari29 they were talking about bargains, not what they have won,you can sell either for near to 100M, so pretty good deals all round
@@celticbarry9877 for 500 k mate
Surprised Vardy didn't get a shout for the striker for £1m... came from non-league Fleetwood and was one of the most consistent strikers in the league for years.
Cause he’s not a united player
So biased towards Man Utd and Man City 😂
It's ridiculous
At least with Rory he throws in other clubs
You forgot to mention Mahrez one of the bargains... Won LEAGUE TITLE, PFA AWARD Leicester got him for 500k sold for 70 mil
Just shows how good Michael Laudrup was at Swansea, finding Michu, Bony and several other bargains and making them into quality players.
Swansea played some quality football back then too
@@samburnscomposer Agree
@@martinjasper7650 Also, one of the greatest midfielders ever that doesn't get talked about enough, everyone should research into Michael Laudrup's career as a player. Absolute baller.
Azpilicueta for £8million..proper bargain
Buvey switching between "The bias" "We've got to represent the small clubs" and then saying "It's unbelievable" or "I agree with you" is hilarious. He's such a troll, I dont think they realize he's winding them up half the time
it has to be coleman at right back; the man cost £60,000, made 409 appearances. that’s £146 a game
Azpilicueta is much better being £7m and helping the club win everything
Coutinho bought for 8 sold for 120+
140
Cech was bought for 7 million with football inflation got to be on par with Schmeichel
but one is better so ssssh
@@iainsteele5737 Cech better cope
Adam cannot deal with any Liverpool talk 😂
I swear these two stream just because they make themselves happy 😂
Excellent!!!love the analysis
When you chuck Sol Campbell out just so you can have your favourites it makes this video a complete farce.
Kevin Stewart went from Liverpool to Hull in the same summer for not much less money, which basically made the Andy Robertson transfer a swap deal. Unreal business.
Atleast Rory acknowledges his bias and is fair to players from other teams... The world doesn't revolve around United, Adam
he just said he’s biased.
The bias is insane, Don Freezy should get an Arsenal fan and a Liverpool fan on here so the debates actually go through properly
Went with Irwin instead of Robertson because of the price but 8 mil now to the time Irwin was bought would've been comparable if not less. 8 mil in todays market for a player that within a season went to top 3 in his position in Europe and then stayed at that level is crazy.
Even as a United fan. I feel before the 2000s, nearly every signing seemed like a bargain. But obviously, times have changed, people say 50 mil is a bargain for some these days.
Yep they also forgot Arsenal bought Martinelli for €6m couple years ago, now he is valued €120m.
Azpilicueta has to be either LB or RB, coleman cheap but for a standard prem defender, hasnt won anything
Bruno Fernandes rejected more than two approaches from Saudi one month ago
James milner ......cost nothing from city to Liverpool and won EVERYTHING and played in multiple positions
Liverpool buying Coutinho for 8.5m and selling for 142m deserves a mention, over 16x profit and got his best years
Leicester got Mahrez for 500k he was PFA player of the season, and they sold him for 70 mil
Tony Adams for Free and 2 decades of service might just be the best
I’m a United fan, but Leicester paid a combined total of £1.4 million for Mahrez and Vardy. Both should be in this team
that’s insane 😭
Ronaldo? Really?
They paid over 15m for an 18 year old.
In 2004 that was big money, certainly not cheap.
To contrast that with Liverpool paying 10m for Harry Kewell in the same season, a player who was a proven top level player coming into his peak years.
Not mentioning Azpi is crazy
mahrez to leicester should be in here. i’d probably have him in over salah but obvs salah deserves it aswell. it’s just harder to have such an impact on leicester to win the league with them. and he won the pfa player of the year with them.
Gotta take into consideration the markets they were in. Sure a couple mil in the 90s isn't much now. But then it's a decent fee
Seamus Coleman at 60 grand. For a good 8 years he was top class for Everton.
T.silva being a free agent for Chelsea and being their best player the last 3 years and winning the ucl is a shout
That’s boring though since he’s a free agent
As people have said, it can't be Dennis Irwin. Signed for big money back then and it was before the Premier League. Also £1 million for Cantona? That was huge money back then. He wasn't young when he signed either.
These lads only know their own clubs. What a podcast
I was at highschool in the 90's and Schmeichel & Cantona will always stand out as bargains of the century
Nice! You should make united-city bargain segments more often! Oh, wait…
GK Van Der Sar (2mil)
RB Coleman (60k), CB Toure (150k), CB Radebe (50k), LB Neill 600k
DM Kante 5.6mil
CM Viera 3.5mil CM Cahill 1.5mil
RW Mahrez 500k FW Vardy 1mil LW Coutinho 8mil
Luis Suarez, £22mil not the cheapest but one of the best strikers of all time, granted not just at Liverpool but was one of the best, sold for triple. Worth a shout
Good but definitely better bargains
Surprised nobody mentioned Fabregas
Martinelli bought for £6m by Arsenal and now he cheapely valued €120m.
Sami Hyypia was a massive bargain.
No mention of the Spanish right back for Chelsea
Azpilicueta
Azpilicueta got looked over there.
These videos just become about how many man united players you can fit into these debates
Mahrez? Leicester got him for like 400k
Adam is a nightmare when he comes to these lists, he constantly pushes United players...picks 2 who were signed before the PL even began.
Got to calculate for football inflation i think like 1mil in the early 90s would be like 40 mil in 2023
That doesn't work though for the discussion. By that logic Dion Dublin would be 40 million now and Darren anderton would be 70 million. You have to compare like for like at the time. Dean Saunders and Kevin Gallagher sold for more than Cantona, think about that.
How are mahrez (to Leicester) and vardy not in this team?
Paul McGrath cost Villa £450,000 from Man Utd - almost the definition of a bargain
Petr Cech has record for clean sheets and was a bargain
This is what mine would be. I am not including any free transfers or anyone from the 90s to early 2000s because those players would be the entire list. I wanted mine to be based off of much more recent players.
GK: Ederson (Manchester City)
RB: Azpilicueta (Chelsea)
CB: Kompany (Manchester City)
CB: Cahill (Chelsea)
LB: Robertson (Liverpool)
LM: Hazard (Chelsea)
CM: Kante (Chelsea and Leicester City)
CM: Coutinho (Liverpool)
RM: Salah (Liverpool)
ST: Son (Spurs)
ST: Suarez (Liverpool)
The entire invincible back 5 cost 8.6 million
Schmeichel was signed before the PL began...😂
Feel like this is a solid shout but you need to put inflation into perspective with the prices properly. I'd put robbo deffo as the lb and vardy too needs to least be in the conversation. There's others too but the market skyrockted like absolute crazy early 2000's when roman took over chelsea then psg, city. Another one who is ridiculous not mentioning is coutinho joined Liverpool for 8.5 mil and left for 130 mil.
The Leicester fan in me has decided to believe they had a ‘not while in championship’ rule pre planned for my own sanity.
henry was and still is the best to do it in the prem and he cost about 10 mil
in 1999 that was a lot of money. The world record transfer fee was i believe 26mil at that time so 10mil was a lot
@@danielhackett7015 it was a lot before he kickd a ball. turnd out to be the biggest bargain of all time in the prem imo and im liverpool fan
salah, milner, matip and robbo
Juve signed Buffon for a world record so Van Der Sar didn't want to remain there. So he moved to Fulham.
Did Leighton Baines play darts fuckin hell absolute bargain
And in today's episode of Name Players From Your Club...
Mahrez, vardy and kante, we are them
Never heard dennis .That was back in the day .should be speaking about morder day footballers
Need to take inflation into account
Worth taking into account that football transfer fees in the Premier League have increased 40-fold since 1990. So Cantona would’ve cost United £40mil in todays market - which we can all agree is still a bargain
Yeah but that logic doesn't really work. It also downplays the bargain it was because you have to take into consideration the transfers at the time. By that reasoning Dean Saunders and Keown would of been nearly 80 million and Keane would of been like 120 million. It doesn't really work. The money wasn't the same then so what you need to compare is like for like. Dion Dublin, Kevin Gallagher, Gavin Peacock and names you wouldn't remember sold for around what Cantona was sold for.
@@yomo1690 I understand where you're coming from but I think you're just reinforcing the point that Cantona was indeed a bargain especially when players like Dublin and Peacock were sold for similar amounts in the same era.
I didn't mention the 40-fold figure to downplay Cantona being a bargain but to highlight that when comparing players from different eras, the amount they were purchased for should not be so significant when stacked against each other. For example Robertson (£8mil) was dismissed for Irwin in the video because he was ONLY £625k in 1990, when in fact he would've been £25mil in todays market. Now I agree that Irwin, due to his success, was more of a bargain than Robertson but I wouldn't solely base it on transfer fees like the lads did in the video.
@@ArmChairKing95 I hear ya but it was a different market then, the money for transfer was sort of kept pretty steady and with relatively little fluctuation in prices. The pricing nowadays is crazy. I hear what you're saying though. And I agree. It's just some people in the comments just multiply it by 40 and then say see it's not a bargin because.....specifically in relation to a 90s player like Cantona. Which is just ignorance of youth. Not many players have had that much influence on a team and league (being a foreign player) but also culturally.
I think the most obvious way to work out the value of past transfers in today's money is to use the world record transfer fee at the time compared to today's. The Neymar transfer is a bit of an outlier because it's still hasn't been beat even though it was 6 years ago but the money Declan rice has just been sold for is pretty ridiculous. Anyway, Peter Schmeichel cost about 6 1/2 million using that scale and Cantona would cost 15.25 million.
@@grantmcphee5149 agreed the market is crazy now. But yeah 40-fold might be on the generous side but there should definitely be some sort of multiplier when comparing transfers over different eras. I like the idea of comparing record transfers over the years as it’s easily recorded. I think the best metric would be to look at the median transfer amount over the years (as Neymar type outliers skew the data somewhat) but that may be harder to identify! Anyway this is getting too “mathsy” - I think we all agree cantona was a bargain!
Michu and Van persie being the same price and wanting to choose Michu is mennnttaallllllll
Adam would have all 11 being Man U players if he did the list alone😂
Denis Irvine for 600/700k over 30 years ago is probably 40/50M now....
Cantona has 70 goals and 56 assists in 156 apps in the best man united team did the same individually as Suarez 69 goals and 23 assists in Liverpool’s worst team. Cantona in 92 for 1m£ transfer, Suarez in 2011 for 23m£ transfer. Also liverpool made 40m£ profit.
I would be nominating sami hyypia 3.75 million centre back for liverpool very underrated player but a quality player and a steal at that price imo when you compare to how much defenders cost in general these days aswell 🤣
I understand the Irwin and schmichal but 625k in 1990 and 1m for Peter in todays money is more than Robertson from hull and cech too
True, compare the careers of Irwin and Robertson, and it's not close. Cech is a good shout, could go either way.
@@lerouxbodenstein9640 I 100% agree, Irwin had a better career and is a better player. I’m just saying the fee is 625 isn’t as cheap as they made it out
625k in 1990 in real money strictly by comparing the rate of inflation would cost about 1.4 million today. The inflation comparison don't work. You have to look at who sold for what at the time.
@@yomo1690 not in real time, but in terms of the premier league inflation. Utd paid 30m for Rooney 20 years ago and today that would be 110m. That’s what I’m saying, so the 625k paid back then could be same as 50 m today.
It’s not as big a bargain as they made it out.
@@rossdoonan6220 no that doesn't work. It doesn't work in money in terms of inflation ( 30 million in the bank in 2000 is not 110 million now) and have you seen some of the players sold for more than 625k back then? It's relative to the time.
6 million for coutinho was a madness considering that's very recent
Cantona, probably the bargain of all bargains. Surprised Bergkamp didn't get a mention. Signed by Rioch for £7.5m from Inter. 11 years a 120 goals, the player Wenger built his team around.
Should do the exercise by decade. Transfer fees have evolved so much over time.
Azpilicueta. 7m. Won every trophy possible .
robertson for 8 won everything
Biggest is a anelka, bought for peanuts and sold to build the arsenal training ground, youth system, and a certain Thierry Henry.
