The Premier League itself is almost an analogy for British society at large; a select small percentage of the obscenely rich keep getting richer whilst the gulf between it and the rest of British football widens. Not only that, but it does so in a vacuum compared to the rest of Europe.
Neto moving from Barcelona to Bournemouth has to be among the most bizzare transfers of all time. Still I wouldn't be surprised if he moves to another club next season since Bournemouth are likely to be relegated.
Damsgaard has actually performed better than expected, considering he moved to the Premier League after not having played a game for around a year with chronic arthritis in his knee.
Most people actually expected that he would first begin being semi-regular starter by next season, since he'd have to use most of the current one to get back into form and clock frequent hours in the gym to beef up a tad, since he's somewhat on the light side in terms of expected physical demands in Premier League. Brentford would've had no chance in hell to get him if he was perceived to be fit for starting in PL before WC
@@petesmart1983 Thats because of his really bad injury, well, not an injury, a degradation of his knee of arthritis, which is fixed, and since he has been getting back into into it, he has been really good. Getting better every game, Thomas Frank said he wouldn't see the best of him until at least next season when we signed him.
None of Luton’s players even make the top 100 of earners in the Championship. Alfie did make an excellent video on LTFC by the way. We are currently in 4th. It’s kind of scary that we could end up in the Premier League if we make the playoffs and are successful in them.
This list made me a little more proud of Barça's current board. They're not sitting around watching the club drown due to Bartomeu's decisions but has instead taken the initiative to get the club back up on its feet even if it requires ruthlessness.
As a brazilian myself, I'm kinda surprised that so many fellow countrymen are the highest paid player, or at least top 3, of so many PL clubs. I had no idea of that. Even Leeds United's Rodrigo, who now represents Spain, is brazilian from birth 😅
@@nethanlock5008 To be fair, before he ran down his contract. He was worth £80 Million in today's prices. Regardless had Everton actually signed him, they wouldn't be struggling for goals like they are now. Which goes to show that Everton didn't spend enough to get players of actual quality.
@@MrSmith1984 as a palace fan zaha is terrible and frustrating, he rarely looks to pass in scoring position, he either shoots or over dribbles, or throws himself to the floor. Lots of games there be open strikers in the box and he just dribble and shoot. Palace fans have turned on him recently

@@ossiaigbedo7223 No it wasn't. The contract is literally public information based on basic salary. You can find it anywhere online, every club has to report individual player's basic salaries and they go onto public records. He is on 265k a week BASIC salary.
i would argue, whatever you think of de Gea, for the last almost 10 years until this season he was the only reason United didnt finish outside top 10 in many horrible seasons
There is no way Livakovic is a better keeper than De Gea. Not even now, just because he had a great world cup doesn't mean he is even a top goalkeeper. It is actually telling that despite having 28 years he's never played outside Croatia while top goalkeepers like Oblak, Allison and Ter Stegen are just a couple of years older than him.
While I personally wouldn’t do what Gueye done, you can’t use the fact he had beer on his shirt to say it wasn’t a religious decision.

Best German players in the premier league of all time. (Day 474) 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.
As in best germans that happened to play in the premier league or the ones who had the most impact? Lile for example Schweinsteiger was a great player but he had an underwhelming stint at United.
One has to understand that when De Gea signed that deal in 2019, Manchester United where desperate to keep him from joining Real Madrid, something that would have been very tempting for a player such as himself. Finding a proper replacement for him would have cost even more (in terms of transfers & wages) than giving De Gea that contract. Speaking of which, it's quite telling that Real Madrid where unwilling to offer Varane & Casemiro anything like £300k a week to either player. Despite the fact said club has lost some key players over the years...
@@ethanirwin21 That's between him and his employer to decide. Based on his attitude, more the overall meaning than the symbolic gesture, I would sell him at the first chance.
£1.25 million per week for 5 players at Chelsea. Not even half a team! Ridiculous. I’ve been a fan since 1970 but the greed in the Premier League puts Gordon Gekko to shame…
If it wasn't for Ivan Toney's betting issues and his extended ban from any football activity, he would have been in the best conditions to negotiate a new contract and make himself the highest earner at Brentford. As Alfie stated, Damsgaard is still young, but he hasn't made anything worthy of recogntion at club level to be the player with highest wages at Brentford. They just signed Damsgaard because he had, indeed, great performances for Denmark NT at 2020 Euro. But he was just a meh player at Sampdoria despite being a regular starter for the Italian club. Sampdoria was already in financial troubles a year ago, so the club didn't doubt that much about selling a player who was not impressing at club level and the fee was way too good to be rejected by a financially troubled side like Sampdoria. Speaking of Sampdoria, do you think the club will be liquidated in the upcoming months? Do they have any chance to find investors to avoid being dropped directly to Serie D?
I'm gonna put in another request for a hypothetical starting XI for the East African Federation, a proposed federation (big surprise there) of Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda. None of them are exactly what you'd call powerhouse footballing nations, with the exception of the DRC, but with plenty of players from those nationalities in the French and German leagues there's bound to be some diamonds in the rough. I did actually send Alfie a Twitter DM detailing my own attempt at an EAF first team, complete with a kit design and a subs bench, but since that didn't get a response I can only assume it got lost in the post. It's not like he'd ignore an unsolicited private message about putting together a national football team for a country that doesn't exist, right? Right? This is request number 16; calling it a streak feels a little disingenuous considering I miss days a lot of the time due to my health. I intend to go for as long as I can until Alfie either makes the video or tells me to bugger off. I'm sure you have your own opinions about which is more likely. =]
@@arsenalboi I'm hoping this gets an Indonesia Boost soon, tbh: there's been massive drama lately involving the Kenyan football federation being locked out by the government and their national team being subsequently banned from AFCON qualifiers. Same with Zimbabwe, which is just a horrible look for FIFA - because Zifa (the football governing body in Zimbabwe) was shuttered by the government on account of a massive scandal involving the routine sexual abuse of female referees as well as open corruption by Zifa officials. FIFA is retaliating against national teams for their governments holding their footballing bodies accountable, and it's a pretty dreadful look. If I was Alfie, I'd be working on a What On Earth Is Going On In Zimbabwe And Kenya... then again, if I was Alfie, you'd all be a lot more bored. =]

Alfie, What on Earth is going on with Football in East Africa? It's the most underperforming part of the continent relative to North, South, West and Central Africa.
I created an all-time XI with no overlap of international careers - no player was active for their national team at the same time as any other player. Here it is (with the years of each player's international career listed in parentheses): 🇩🇪 Oliver Kahn (1995 - 2006) 🇩🇪 Manfred Kaltz (1975 - 1983), 🏴 Bob Crompton (1902 - 1914), 🇧🇷 Thiago Silva (2008 - ), 🇩🇪 Andreas Brehme (1984 - 1994) 🇺🇾 José Leandro Andrade (1923 - 1930), 🇮🇹 Ugo Locatelli (1936 - 1940) 🇮🇹 Valentino Mazzola (1942 - March 1949) 🇧🇷 Pelé (1957 - 1971), 🇧🇷 Neco (1917 - 1922), 🇭🇺 Zoltán Czibor (May 1949 - 1956) Manager: 🇨🇿 Karel Petrů (1931 - 1935) How about making a video featuring an XI you created using this limitation (and without using uncapped players)?

People have a problem with the amount of money footballers make. I don’t think that is the problem because you should be trying to make as much money no matter what profession you take the problem people have with the salaries is that the fans I’ll get an absolutely ripped off to go into the stadiums, and when we are at the stadiums we get absolutely ripped off for a burger that tastes like it was made out of rats.

Best German players in the premier league of all time. (Day 474)
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.
Anyone that played for kaiserslautern
What is your top 7 though?
As in best germans that happened to play in the premier league or the ones who had the most impact?
Lile for example Schweinsteiger was a great player but he had an underwhelming stint at United.
@@gchrisLIVE let Alfie decide that part
Top seven is easy
1. Mustafi 🐐
2. Ozil
3. mertesacker
4. Gundogan
5. schweinsteiger( going on Budesliga form)
6. Ballack
7. Sane
8. Rudiger
please do a video on not well known darbys. I love the history of the big ones but don’t know about all of them!!
That stat at the start is a bit scary
Gabriel signed a new contract a few months ago (if memory serves, he earns around 50-60k per week). Also, Gabriel Jesus earns more than Martinelli.
One has to understand that when De Gea signed that deal in 2019, Manchester United where desperate to keep him from joining Real Madrid, something that would have been very tempting for a player such as himself.
Finding a proper replacement for him would have cost even more (in terms of transfers & wages) than giving De Gea that contract.
Speaking of which, it's quite telling that Real Madrid where unwilling to offer Varane & Casemiro anything like £300k a week to either player. Despite the fact said club has lost some key players over the years...
The Everton man is no biggot
For someone who’s name is gueye, quite surprised about that story
He definitely is
W for Adrissa Gana Gueye
It's normal for other bigots to agree with him.
@soundscape26 its right for him to disagree with whatever he wants and shouldn't be forced to wear anything
@@ethanirwin21 That's between him and his employer to decide. Based on his attitude, more the overall meaning than the symbolic gesture, I would sell him at the first chance.
@@soundscape26 eh no, his employer cannot force him to wear that. It is his choice to represent and support what he wants to
@@soundscape26 what a dumb statement
Why wouldn't Ivan Toney be Brentford highest earner?
I want to see you and Gueye meet each other for some reason. It should be interesting. Very interesting 😂
Why do Sky's Saturday Social have goons like Thogden as regular guests when people like Alfie exist
£1.25 million per week for 5 players at Chelsea. Not even half a team! Ridiculous. I’ve been a fan since 1970 but the greed in the Premier League puts Gordon Gekko to shame…
If it wasn't for Ivan Toney's betting issues and his extended ban from any football activity, he would have been in the best conditions to negotiate a new contract and make himself the highest earner at Brentford. As Alfie stated, Damsgaard is still young, but he hasn't made anything worthy of recogntion at club level to be the player with highest wages at Brentford. They just signed Damsgaard because he had, indeed, great performances for Denmark NT at 2020 Euro. But he was just a meh player at Sampdoria despite being a regular starter for the Italian club. Sampdoria was already in financial troubles a year ago, so the club didn't doubt that much about selling a player who was not impressing at club level and the fee was way too good to be rejected by a financially troubled side like Sampdoria.
Speaking of Sampdoria, do you think the club will be liquidated in the upcoming months? Do they have any chance to find investors to avoid being dropped directly to Serie D?
Brighton is wrong. Lallana is on over £90k a week, and just signed a new deal so this may have gone up even more now
I'm gonna put in another request for a hypothetical starting XI for the East African Federation, a proposed federation (big surprise there) of Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda. None of them are exactly what you'd call powerhouse footballing nations, with the exception of the DRC, but with plenty of players from those nationalities in the French and German leagues there's bound to be some diamonds in the rough. I did actually send Alfie a Twitter DM detailing my own attempt at an EAF first team, complete with a kit design and a subs bench, but since that didn't get a response I can only assume it got lost in the post. It's not like he'd ignore an unsolicited private message about putting together a national football team for a country that doesn't exist, right? Right?
This is request number 16; calling it a streak feels a little disingenuous considering I miss days a lot of the time due to my health. I intend to go for as long as I can until Alfie either makes the video or tells me to bugger off. I'm sure you have your own opinions about which is more likely. =]
keep 'em crossed, keep 'em crossed.
@@arsenalboi I'm hoping this gets an Indonesia Boost soon, tbh: there's been massive drama lately involving the Kenyan football federation being locked out by the government and their national team being subsequently banned from AFCON qualifiers. Same with Zimbabwe, which is just a horrible look for FIFA - because Zifa (the football governing body in Zimbabwe) was shuttered by the government on account of a massive scandal involving the routine sexual abuse of female referees as well as open corruption by Zifa officials. FIFA is retaliating against national teams for their governments holding their footballing bodies accountable, and it's a pretty dreadful look. If I was Alfie, I'd be working on a What On Earth Is Going On In Zimbabwe And Kenya... then again, if I was Alfie, you'd all be a lot more bored. =]
Tulia kaka
I'm Kenyan and I assure you no one would be interested in watching such a video... myself included
@@leaguesmanoframsgate There's massive corruption in our federation, the ban was justified
Can you do a “what is going on at Olympiacos?” video please?
Classic Adu reference
Leno need to find a new agent. A goalkeeper with his class would've gotten a better wage deal, if he had a better agent.
How do you even know what they are paid? One should think everybody concerned would be interested in keeping that information confidential.
Missed Gabby J there Alfie

Can u do highest paid premier league manager video as well
I think Kaylor Navas is the top earner at Forest.

Great video. How many players in the UK earn over £1 million a season?
Too many 😂
This fkn crazy it isn't sustainable countries owning clubs
What was your source for these numbers?

Truth be told, De Gea is in the same boat as Vardy, probably deserves whatever he's getting for the rest of his life for all the saving he's done.

Alfie, What on Earth is going on with Football in East Africa? It's the most underperforming part of the continent relative to North, South, West and Central Africa.
Who of Africa is not underperforming despite it being the most popular sport
Can you so this for the other 4 big European leagues.

Fair play to idrissa gueye! My favourite player ever!
Respect to gay… I mean gueye
Still hoping for that Austrian Wunderteam video 😇✌.
I created an all-time XI with no overlap of international careers - no player was active for their national team at the same time as any other player.
Here it is (with the years of each player's international career listed in parentheses):
🇩🇪 Oliver Kahn (1995 - 2006)
🇩🇪 Manfred Kaltz (1975 - 1983), 🏴 Bob Crompton (1902 - 1914), 🇧🇷 Thiago Silva (2008 - ), 🇩🇪 Andreas Brehme (1984 - 1994)
🇺🇾 José Leandro Andrade (1923 - 1930), 🇮🇹 Ugo Locatelli (1936 - 1940)
🇮🇹 Valentino Mazzola (1942 - March 1949)
🇧🇷 Pelé (1957 - 1971), 🇧🇷 Neco (1917 - 1922), 🇭🇺 Zoltán Czibor (May 1949 - 1956)
Manager: 🇨🇿 Karel Petrů (1931 - 1935)
How about making a video featuring an XI you created using this limitation (and without using uncapped players)?
Trippier is on more than bruno a week
Is Jesse Lingard on Higher wages than Kaylor Navas?!?
No, Idrissa isn't a bigot for not wanting to wear a t shirt. That's up to him. But you, Alfie, certainly are a bigot for not accepting his choice🤷🏽♂️😂
His choice makes him a bigot. No beating around the bush.
@@soundscape26 I don't think you understand what a bigot is. Not wanting to wear a t shirt doesn't make you a bigot, but wanting to force someone to have to live the way you want to live and not have their own beliefs.. that does make you a bigot.
@@societyisscaredofmasculine8546 Yes, I'm bigoted against people who hold bigoted beliefs. I'm totally bigoted against people who hold Nazi-like beliefs for instance.
As for this Idrissa guy, would he have the same attitude if it were an anti-racist campaign? I think not.
@@soundscape26 Cool, well I'm bigoted against you then.. for your bigoted beliefs in forcing people to believe what you believe 🤷🏽♂️
@@societyisscaredofmasculine8546 For believing everyone should be treated with respect and dignity? Yes, if someone doesn't have this belief then I couldn't care less about what anyone calls me.
Don’t call people a bigot for their belief
Day 10: Rise and fall of Klaipėdos Atlantas
The Idrissa Gueye comments where uncalled for. You have to respect peoples views even if you don't agree with them
No I don't.
You cannot make such a blanket statement. It's always nice to be respectful of different opinions but only to a certain extent. Let's pick a random example... the Chinese Government thinks "re-education" camps for the Uyghurs is a good idea. Am I to respect that view?
So of it was verrati refusing to wear a anti racism jersey?? You be calling him a racist?? Hyprocrit. Gueye lied saying it was his relgion when he openly breaks Islamic law of beer and gambling

Your did not mention JWPs salary??
People have a problem with the amount of money footballers make. I don’t think that is the problem because you should be trying to make as much money no matter what profession you take the problem people have with the salaries is that the fans I’ll get an absolutely ripped off to go into the stadiums, and when we are at the stadiums we get absolutely ripped off for a burger that tastes like it was made out of rats. They will charge me £7 for a Fosters. People would have a lot less problems with the amount of money footballers make if these prices was fixed because it’s not right when they take a massive proportion of my salary to watch my team lose every week I’m a QPR fan
