Creating Our Over 30 World XI, Tier List Of The Prem's Most Expensive Signings & Are Chelsea Title Contenders?

11:46Reev:three at the back

11:46Theo:yeah out wide right Salah 32 I've done the same three at the back and midfield three of Kovacic De Bruyne and Cella Noglu Out left I have Son And then the front two Of Kane and Lewandowski You can fact check Their ages Yeah yeah yeah I know they are all But Son's a shit I normally get a

12:06Reev:Is that a left wing

12:07Theo:I need someone left mate

12:08Reev:Go Trossard mate Okay no Whatever mate I normally get a bit of shit When I change formation Heavily like that What?

12:20Theo:Yeah only when Only when we say Let's do a 4-3-3 there was no rules on how we had to build the team look I'm doing mine because I've gone the same formation see there you go I've gone Courtois yeah I went with Rudiger Van Dijk and Dan Byrne big Dan Byrne man he's going to live forever anyway over Marquinhos you've gone Dan Byrne over Marquinhos

12:42Reev:he's a starting centre back he scored a goal in the league cup final are you trying to be Lewis Bowdoin I'll be honest Marquinhos didn't Just won a quad, didn't I? Yeah. When I was going through over 30s, I didn't see him. Dan Byrne is the one you put in. I want to give some love to Dan Byrne. Oh, stop fucking crying your heart out, you knobhead.

13:03Theo:No, you're embarrassed. Literally dropping the races every other night. Mate, you're embarrassed. Stop, man. Right. Is it on this weekend? Is it? Is he going? I'm just looking at the point.

13:13Reev:Wait, who's your back three again?

13:15Theo:Jesus.

13:15Reev:Rudiger, Van Dyke and Byrne. You could have Nathan Ake, Jimenez, Skriniar, Laporte, Aaron Maguire. I'm just going to give some of the things. John Stone's over 30s. Adam Webster, why not? Dan Burns just got into the England squad.

13:26Theo:Yeah. But you picked him over John Stones as well, which is an interesting one. I mean, right now, you probably... Fabian Shah.

13:31Reev:But John Stones is like a waste as well. You picked him over Fabian Shah. Yeah, he's better than him, isn't he? All right, midfield three. James Karkowski. I went with Modric, Xhaka.

13:41Theo:Okay, I like it. And Kovacic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then I went with my wingers of Messi and Salah. Where's Messi playing? Right wing, but he can tuck in. Where's Salah playing? Salah playing left wing. This is ridiculous. Oh, my fucking shit. What is this? That is vile. Also, your midfield three. Absolutely vile. Who cares? You've got Kovacic in your midfield three. Oh, I did as well. What? He's a banger on a 30-year-old. You haven't heard of Kimmich? And then I've got Lewandowski and Kane.

14:07Reev:Yeah, well, you can have a different team to me. So you think Kovacic's better than Kimmich? No, but I didn't realise Kimmich was over 30. I would have put him in. What the fuck are you playing at? Sorry. Who should strike at Lewandowski or Kane? Both. Yeah, I've got both. Kane and Lewandowski. I've gone with like three in midfield, then like two 10s behind them and then two up front. It's a shit formation. I know. Your both teams are shit. Mine's actually fine. No, your team is shit.

14:28Theo:I put players in positions they play. I don't put Salah left wing. No, he's not left wing. He's in the 10, 210. It's mental, mate. It's a 3-3, 2-2. You've got one of the most outright right wingers in Premier League history. He's basically a striker, and he's Salah. Why? How you can't say that? Why are you saying that? Why spends most of the time

14:49Reev:in the box? You are gaslighting us. I'm not. All Salah's touches come in the box. Don't let him do this. You've got Dan Burnett's centre-back and you've got Salah at the left wing. I agree my team's shit, but... Okay, right. Right, my turn.

15:04Theo:In goal, I've got Courtois. Back four. Ooh.

15:09Reev:Do you not rate him?

15:10Theo:No, I just don't think he's... Well, of course I'm rating him.

15:13Reev:Do you not rate Courtois? I think he's... He's better than Allison. Back four of Di Lorenzo, Marquinhos, Van Dijk and Robertson midfield three of Kimmich Bruno Fernandes and De Bruyne and a front three of Salah Kane and Mane

15:28Theo:oh is Bruno over 30

15:30Reev:yeah he's 30 oh man that's the team well done mate that's the team he's bang on 30

15:37Theo:fuck I thought he was younger

15:39Reev:alright cool yeah good one man

15:41Theo:well done bro you can have that well done

15:42Reev:let us know your over 30s 11 and why I've taken the W once again and Tom has taken over the reins of the Lewis Howlers which by the way we haven't actually addressed where he is he's actually unconscious having surgery

15:54Theo:he's not unconscious at the moment but he will be in like two hours what time is this? three o 'clock he goes under the night he's probably right this second he's probably fading away

16:04Reev:he's probably really nervous isn't he? oh you are oh you bastard I was a bit slow on that one you're a bit quicker

16:11Theo:next time I'm like yeah

16:12Reev:anyways moving on he just needs to go I'll tell you someone who is taking lower wages are going off script here, guys. Not Ron Burgundy. Yicaris. He won't be taking lower wages. I don't think he's taking a two million cut. That is absolute bullshit. He's taking lower wages because he wants to get out of the club. I... Force a move to Arsenal. I do not believe that for once.

16:35Theo:So you mean the wages he's currently having at... You're telling me he's going to move from Sporting Lisbon to Arsenal and he's taking a wage cut? Yep. That can't be right. Just to get it through. That cannot be right.

16:46Reev:Yeah. sacrifices millions. Arsenal, yeah, see? Sacrifices some of his own salary in order to boost the Gunners' beef. Well, no, let's actually read this.

16:55Theo:What's the full article? Does this mean he's not getting paid out his full salary at Sporting or something?

16:59Reev:He sacrificed millions. Have you read this all? Keep going, keep going. Read it all, mate. Didn't just look at the title. Look at that. Right, so... You've got to read it out loud. Come on. We'll not leave for 60 plus 10 million. Okay, keep going down. Sporting is very... we have already passed the stage where we had to sell our best assets, but we don't have to sell them. Blah, blah, blah. Keep going now. Sporting had the commitment. Blah, blah, blah. Keep going.

17:23Theo:Is this because the clause was higher and he wants to just leave? That's what I mean. He's not actually taking a wage cut. He might just be relinquishing some of his wages at Sporting. Yeah, he's basically... Wage cut, mate. He's basically giving Sporting less money for his transfer. So, insisting that Yikarez has sacrificed part of his future contract with Arsenal in order to improve the conditions of the offer that was presented to Sporting. Right.

17:50Reev:What a humble guy, eh? Right, so here we go. Right, so what actually it means is Ucres has given up two million that was part of his salary package planned for the five seasons of his contract with the Gunners. So therefore, Arsenal are getting two million more in a transfer fee instead of giving it him to wages. That doesn't mean he's taking a lower wage. Mate, it's sacrifice two million. You've got to do what you've got to do for the Arsenal Do you know what I mean? But Arsenal are making moves in the transfer market You've got Super active at the moment Go on

18:22Theo:Eze Eze's not 100 % though

18:25Reev:But I think that will be That's the signing That's the one He's that good You know it He's such an Arsenal player He's just going to fit in the hole

18:33Theo:Where?

18:34Reev:Where's he going to play? He'll probably play left wing But he'll play on the left as well Martinelli looks like he's going to Saudi For£72 million

18:41Theo:Jesus Christ

18:43Reev:yes please

18:44Theo:that's crazy yes please

18:45Reev:we'll take 70 million for Martin Haley

18:47Theo:I'm happy for Arsenal being really active in the window but I don't I really can't understand the Maduweki transfer

18:53Reev:well yeah swap deal with Wanyeri that won't happen it won't happen we might just end up getting Maduweki no but that's what I mean

19:00Theo:Wanyeri's not leaving Arsenal I'm not talking about that part I'm talking about the fact that we're trying to get Maduweki yeah but Osaka has no competition Wanyeri oh yeah he's literally the Can Madreke play on the left? He can, but again, you're trying to fit square pegs in round holes.

19:16Reev:Is it one of them ones where you just need players? Just go and sign a left winger. I don't get it. Go and get Rodrigo. That's what I'm saying. Just prioritise Eze. Maybe Madreke don't happen, though. Do you know what I mean? There's so many names flying about at the moment.

19:27Theo:Yeah, but I don't understand the reasoning to try and go after it. I am really underwhelmed in Arsenal.

19:32Reev:Really? With Zubemendi? He's so good. Is he? I don't know. You've seen him in the Nations League. Yeah, he looks good, but so did Marino. He is good. I don't really rate him. Marino's great. And I don't... I think Norgard's a clever signing for depth. I think that's a clever signing. Is that confirmed? Yeah. He's signed. Signed, signed, signed. It's done, done, done. Madweki makes absolutely zero sense to me whatsoever. I think that's a complete waste of time and resources. Yikarez, I am just not sold on one bit. It's not signed. Norgard's not signed. He is. He is. Norgard plays for Arsenal. No, he doesn't.

20:06I'm sure he does. It's 11 million.

20:08Reev:Yeah, I thought it went through. Go back. He's still a Brentford player. He's still a Brentford player. We would know if he'd signed. Oh, okay. They've not announced him. That's what I said. That's for a week ago, this article is. Mate, he's a Brentford player. He's all but confirmed. All but confirmed. Oh, 21 hours ago. Sorry. Thank you. I would know if he'd signed. I've got no... He got here we go'd. It doesn't matter, mate. Until he's got face on Instagram. Yeah, he did get here we go'd too. Yeah, I... I just... They're not filling me with, oh this is going to get Arsenal over the line.

20:42Theo:What would then? Would Rodrigo do that? Yes.

20:45Reev:Would Eze do that? Eze is definitely... I think Eze would do that. Do you know what I feel like is going to happen? I feel like you're going to come to the end of the summer and if you look at all the players you've signed individually even Kepa's not a bad backup or whatever. A good backup, yeah. But Norgod, Zubamendi, Eze, Madweke, Yikarez. Let's say that's who you're signing. You'll get to the end of the summer and go do you know what? Arsenal have had a great summer individually. Look at it. But then I'd look at it and go, actually, do those players fill the holes I think Arsenal are missing?

21:15And I don't think they all do. Madweki definitely doesn't. I personally don't think Yuka Rez will. I think he's a 50-50. Eze is a brilliant player. But what hole does he fill? Left.

21:25Reev:And that number 10 role when Odegaard isn't firing. That's fair. But are you going to spend£65 million on a player who's going to interchange with Odegaard? Off the left, Eze is not an out-and-out winger, which is how you play. You play with two wingers on the touchline.

21:39Theo:Probably play the 10-round then. Would you not? I would argue. But he's not too dissimilar to Trossard in terms of... He is. Trossard's more of a touchline winger. He's like... Eze, and this is my point, Eze can do that. Madweki can do that. Are they out-and-out wingers on that left-hand side which Arsenal are crying out for that are going to get you over the line? No, I don't think they are.

22:00Reev:But maybe he's trying to adapt our style of play next season. We don't know. That's fair, but why would you do that? because you've got such a good system in the minute but it hasn't got us over the line

22:11Theo:yeah he has got a point there

22:11Reev:maybe he's trying to adapt it a little bit yeah that's that is also true and that's why I'm speculating and I just think I think Zuban Mendy fills a hole in that midfield oh Zuban Mendy I think is a really midfield I don't think I'm not worried about your midfield but also with Yikarez I know obviously I'm worried about I'm not worried about your back five you talk about the holes midfield I'm worried about your final third that's fair enough but you talk about the holes midfield on paper I know Yikarez you know he's done it in the championship He's done it in Portugal On paper He had one good season In the Championship He is a hole And he's definitely One of the highest Talents in Europe right now And a lot of clubs I don't agree with that

22:46Theo:He's a lot of talk about him

22:47Reev:There's a lot of hype about him I know which is And it's all like Ludwig had hype as well right I get that But As a striker in Europe He is A lot of clubs He was on the radar For a lot of clubs And we're going to get him That's a hole filled On paper We don't know how It will take to the Premier League That's absolutely fair enough Eze is, in my opinion, a match winner.

23:07Theo:Yeah. He's not even on paper, is he? He actually just does it.

23:11Reev:Yeah, I think he is a genuine match winner. Where does he play? In the 10 or off the left or on that left side is more of like a floaty thing. Like a left 10. Yeah. So then you're going to have no one with chalk on their boots on that left-hand side. Skelly tucks in. But we don't know about next season. We haven't seen Arsenal play this summer. Do you know what I mean?

23:34Theo:I know it doesn't count The Emirates Cup's happening this summer, isn't it?

23:37Reev:I can see We'll get a little look in at the Emirates Cup Which I know is not the same standard But I can see what happens I can see happening to Eze What happened with Grealish at City Restricting him because of the system And him having to be wide When he doesn't want to be wide Eze is more of like a Cunha, isn't he? He starts off the left But comes in and he's like Yeah, yeah, 100 %

23:58Theo:But Arsenal don't play like that

23:59Reev:We don't know about that Declan Rice fills that hole

24:01Theo:Off that left-hand side I don't as brilliant as Eze is I don't the way he plays unless I don't know I know he can play off the left like I said I'm not saying he can't do that but I just think the way Arsenal plays and what his strengths are I feel like yet again you're going to be signing someone who you're not fulfilling their ability because you're going to be restricting them

24:22Reev:would he compliment Yikarese's play style I don't know I just think Yikarese's another one all his goals come in transition or penalties like Arsenal don't Arsenal have 90 % of the ball every game. But then also, if we are selling Martinelli, he's quite clunky. He's terrible in the air for his size as well. He's not as good as Havertz. Aerially, I don't think he's as good as Havertz holding the ball up or linking either. Do you not think he... But he's a better finisher. More of a number nine, which is what we're trying out for, getting the goals. So we'll have to give him the benefit of the doubt.

24:50But then you're missing out on all the stuff Havertz gives you outside of goals. But then also,

24:54Reev:when we had Havertz, people like you and other people were moaning about Havertz. No, no, I know. I don't think Havertz is good enough or should be your nine but we should give him a go, Jakuz you can't knock him but you're talking about him like he's a fucking child just give him a go I know he's done it in Portugal and so, mate I could give you 100 players who've done it in Portugal but he's done it in the Champions League look at Darwin Nunes he's done it in the Champions League but my point is you have to you can't knock him until he's actually done it did you watch the goals he scored against City how did they happen?

25:25Theo:mostly transition It's so... I just... But do you not think... Why haven't you gone in for Oli Watkins? Why haven't you... Who did we mention earlier? Who did we mention earlier? Who was we on about earlier? Why haven't you gone in for John Duran? John Duran. And Jonathan... Jonathan David. Jonathan David. Yet again, I just... I don't understand Arsenal's transfer method here. That is all I'm saying. I might be wrong and I'll be happy to be wrong. I want Arsenal to improve. I think it'll be better for the league. That doesn't make sense to me. I think

25:56Reev:Eucharist doesn't make sense for everything I don't think this makes sense the way you play this is it's just weird it doesn't

26:03Theo:if he gets 25 goals first season in the Premier League he may well do because you know what he's a brilliant finisher and he's got great movement and I think pretty much anyone in that Arsenal system should be able to score goals

26:14Reev:if you're any good you're forgetting that to win titles and to play in the Champions you need depth alright but you're not spending 70 million on depth here he'll be our starting number 9 no but I'm talking with the likes of Eze he would still get a lot of starts and he might even push Odegaard out you don't know that but you need you're not listening to what I'm saying but you're saying these signings don't make sense but they sort of do but I've explained why they don't make sense and I'm explaining why they do because you need depth so you're going to spend 140 million on two players for depth it's more than that though isn't it they're still going to start a lot again so it's not for depth then but there will be depth as well because like it's why have Chelsea watch out Pedro

26:49Theo:adding first team players is additional depth because other players drop too

26:53Reev:Just because they don't start every game doesn't mean they're necessarily starting players or just depth. It's a combination of both. And like, for example, when Arsenal... But your club captain is your 10. Club captain. How many games is Eze going to start over him? I don't know. I'm not Messiah.

27:06Theo:I think he's being brought to play off the left, in all honesty. I think you're signing to play off the left. I think that will restrict Eze.

27:15Reev:There's every chance that Odegaard isn't the club captain next season or the season after. Why? Declan Rice if Eze starts seriously performing and Erdegaard isn't performing I think they'll be

27:28Theo:playing together I don't even I think

27:30Reev:yeah we'll see maybe play two tens I'll just no I mean he won't do it like two and a two Zubmendi Rice Erdegaard Eze what fuck it play them all mate

27:42Theo:and then he's going to play

27:43Reev:what two up front

27:44Theo:yeah two up front all of them Saka and Gicke Saka and

27:47Reev:Gicke is but like I will say you're talking about the holes being filled but with the Rodrigo thing we actually said the opposite or non-being filled yeah if Arsenal get 73 million for Martinelli that's brilliant business it's great unbelievable and then you're replacing him with a 10 great you have to go with Rodrigo in my opinion Rodrigo is I think Rodrigo is a title winning signing yeah that would that would fill me with hope for Arsenal these ones don't and I'm not saying they're not talented players like you fucking hell you know how much I rate Eze I think Eze is brilliant but I just think and And also, good players should be able to play multiple positions.

28:24But I think he's best in that central role. And I just think Arsenal will sign him and play him off the left. And I just think it will restrict him.

28:31Reev:That's all I think. You're saying, yeah, I understand what you're saying. I'm just a bit more confident in them, if that makes sense. You're saying we need a left winger. That's the hole we need. I get that. Because that's how you play. Saka Martinelli, out and out wingers, aren't they? We're interested to see how Arsenal play next. Yeah, but we've played without an out and out number nine.

28:48Theo:so already that's a different front three anyway yeah like having a number nine who is primarily the front of the attack and to be honest even though Skelly does come inside he can over maybe that might be the move instead of him tucking in into that maybe he does be more of an overlapping left we're going from we're going from a inverted triangle with Havertz playing almost deeper than Sacco Martinelli than the other way yeah I mean we just cracked our ass

29:13Reev:we're going to play next I'll be honest with the coaching you've got and the system in place I don't see why it shouldn't work I'm just sceptical of it and let's not forget about the biggest signing we've done Gabriel Einster what you know Einster I know who he is yeah yeah he's our sister manager now is he really he's like dead to number two it's all conjecturing at the minute we don't actually we don't even know who you can it might just be fucking agent talk Madwecky and all stuff like that

29:38Theo:well I think the

29:40Reev:Wanieri debacle is definitely agent talk there's no way he's literally the future of the club also Chelsea apparently went in for Max Dalman and Arsenal are like, guys, this is like our Holy Grail. You need to back off. Yeah, leave them alone. Well, speaking of the transfer window, guys. Yep. Thoughts on City and Chelsea. Chelsea have actually been a little bit busy, but stinking it up in the gaff.

30:05Theo:Wait, what's the question there? You kind of just said...

30:07Reev:City, are they, you know, crashing out to Al-Hilal?

30:10Theo:Right, so City...

30:11Reev:Are they the dominant force that they still are? They're losing to Al-Hilal. They're crashing out whilst making signings, Whereas Chelsea, low-key going like that, going up.

30:21Theo:Yeah, in terms of trajectories, you could argue that Chelsea are looking a little better at the moment. Did you watch the Al-Halal game? Yep. Yeah. I was going to say, what did you think of City's performance?

30:35Reev:I just don't think they're that good at the moment. I don't really understand what's going on. You didn't watch it, did you? I did, I watched it on the radio. They could have been 10-0 up at halftime. They weren't though, Tom. That's the issue. I know, but... What is going on at City or is it just the Fugazi? Yeah, I don't think City... I don't think City were that bothered about this one. I think they were using it as more of a transition into next season. But they're looking... They're linked with Diogo Costa, obviously the Porto keeper of£65 million. Yeah. Has Edison's time come? Probably. Do you reckon?

31:05Yeah, I think so.

31:06Reev:He's not the keeper that he once was? Yeah, and I just think... He's 32, 33 now, Edison. I think it's just... It's a natural progression. keeping things fresh. That's not that old for a keeper though. I understand, but still, I think Diogo Costa is probably a better option right now.

31:21Theo:Do you? Yeah. I agree. Well, we know you do because you fucking hate Edison. I don't hate him. You hate him. You do hate him. It's just, mate, it's the circle of life. Yeah, to be fair, City make£4 billion a year in revenue, so they're not that focused. Well, so does Chelsea at the moment every time they win a game in the Club World Cup. No, but I'm saying City don't need the Club World Cup because they're obviously like the biggest earners in all of them. I think you're seeing this tournament, a lot of the settled teams doing well. Yeah. City aren't a settled. After last season, they've had a lot of new signings.

31:55It's more of a, what's the word? They've used this more of a catapult for next season. Agreed, yeah. Instead of going out to win this tournament, if that makes sense. Just to learn about that.

32:05Reev:You know earlier, we just asked the four strikers at Chelsea. They're obviously going to get Estadio as well after the Club World Cup. That's five. I don't he's not a striker though forward they're forward line they've got Cole Palmer Jackson Neto Madweke Nkunku Mike Gee Tyree George Gittinstein as well do you know what I mean they've got about a thousand forwards yeah

32:27Theo:Aubameyang

32:28Reev:that was the last point that was he playing like mate since 2022 they've spent 8 billion pounds and Denzel Washington I don't think that's true Mudrick 62 mil Nkunku 52 mil Neto 51 Sterling 47 Zhao Felix both spells up to 42 million. That's great. Like, Cole Palmer, 40 mil, great signing. Nicholas Jackson, 31 mil, Maduaki, 30 mil, Liam Dillap, 30 mil, Denzel, David, you said that. Washington, 13 mil, David Tafana, 10 mil, Bamiang, 10 mil, Mocky, 5 mil. It's just striker after forward after forward.

33:04Theo:Yeah. When will it end, Jackie? I don't know. When they've got all the forwards in the world.

33:10Reev:Is that what they're doing? They're building everything. Yeah, but they're on about like Nkunku's... It's saying 560 million on forwards alone in three years. It looks like Nkunku's going to leave. Madweki's been linked with the move. It's half a billion pound on forwards. All right, but how much have they sold? None. Chelsea have sold quite a lot recently. Like, they've sold a lot... It's Saudi Arabia, isn't it? They've made quite a lot of money in sales.

33:32Theo:Yeah. And they've just won the Club World Cup 45 billion, so...

33:37Reev:Yeah, it's true. They've made 45 billion from the Club World Cup at the moment.

33:41Theo:Yeah, what are their outgoing? Mattson, 40 mil. Gallagher, 40 mil. Lewishaw, 30 mil. Lukaku, 30 mil. Omari Hutchinson, 23 mil. Angelo, 23 mil. Exactly. So this is my point about Chelsea. It's a bit of a fugazi. It's a new word we've learnt today.

33:58Reev:They're spending a lot, but they're selling a lot as well. Do you think they'll do well in the Prem then this season? A little dark horse? No. Depends what you mean by dark horse. Oh, yeah. A certain Arsenal signed Havertz for 75 million. Mount, 60 million. Kovacic, 30 mil. Koulibaly, 23. Pulisic, 20. They're selling a lot. How much did they sell that summer in total? Go down. It won't say, will it? Yeah, it does. They sold£282 million worth of talent. God, the Chelsea... Go up and how much did they sell? Chelsea put mental. Yeah, imagine being a can. And bought£460. So they only spent£180 that summer.

34:35Probably less than you did.

34:37Theo:£24,£25. We just, yeah.

34:39Reev:And they're putting everyone on eight-year contracts again, aren't they?

34:41Theo:Yeah, they're fucking mental.

34:43Reev:It is kind of smart the eight year contract thing though, you know. Well, it is until you want to get rid of them.

34:48Theo:Instead of saying,

34:49Reev:oh, for three years we'll put you on 300k, how about eight years we'll put you on 200k? Get more money than longer. No, but getting rid of them is the issue then. Yeah, but they'll have to figure that out. Okay.

35:00Theo:Where do you think they're going to finish in the Prem then this season? Top four. I'd go fourth again, yeah. Fourth again, yeah. Would that be success? Not when you see how established they've become, especially from the last season. I don't think Chelsea are ready for a title challenge.

35:13Reev:I think their signings are trying to suggest that they want, they're going for it. But they're in like an accumulation period and eventually they will be. Chelsea still need a goalie. They still need another centre-half, I think. Then they've got a squeak, but... And I think they need left-wingers still. If they win the Club World Cup... Yes. They could buy a goalie and a centre-half. Well, I think they will anyway. They don't need the Club World Cup. They don't need to win that. Yeah, I mean, they've already made transfers. Nobody would help with the ability to how much you can spend. Yeah Again I don't think Chelsea are in PSR issues The amount of revenue They bring in The amount they've been selling I think they're fine Who takes penalties now That Gio Pedro would be there Karl Palmer Karl Palmer

35:52Theo:But

35:53Reev:Karl Palmer

35:54Theo:Then you've negated Pretty much all of Gio Pedro's ability

35:58Reev:You can only take penalties Reeve You've asked the question We've answered it No I know

36:01Theo:I've been serious though

36:03Reev:But like Gio Pedro A majority of Gio Pedro's Goals last season Who's going to take them For Arsenal Reeve it's every goal It wasn't every He didn't score an out-pitched goal. Out-pitched goal?

36:13Theo:He did. He scored from open play last season, I guarantee it. He scored against you from open play last season. Yeah. Who's going to take Arsenal's? Probably Saka, I imagine. Oh, Yikarez ain't going to score a goal then, is he? Nah. That'd be interesting. No transitions, no penalties. He might actually take over a penalty due year. Didn't he score 19 out of 19? Did he? Well, that's a good... Yikarez didn't miss one last season.

36:38Reev:Who's going to be... Well, he probably will take penalties then, right? Who's going to be Chelsea's front three next season? I don't know. It depends how they go midfield. Well, even up top, who's starting up top? Jackson? Jackson? De Laff. Oh, yeah, Liam De Laff. I think De Laff will start. Then what's Charlie Jackson's like? Jackson off the left? No. I think Jackson will be rotation. He might go in January. No, like you said, you need depth, don't you? Oh. Yeah, but Jackson, they haven't signed Jackson for 70 million. Oh.

37:09Theo:where's Jao Pedro going to play him I don't know right when they've got Neto playing well at the moment Cole Palmer's going to be in a 10 Jao Pedro's not off the left I don't know yeah it's a weird signing

37:20Reev:or Jackson plays off the left mate I don't know what's what about in Kunku

37:27Theo:surely surely the annoyance you had with Arsenal not filling holes properly it should be even worse I'm not I'm not putting Chelsea up to possibly win a title okay that's fair you're a lot closer to winning the title and then Chelsea yeah and I don't I don't understand the Jopedjo signing will Morescu be sacked by Christmas here that's the question yeah maybe not by Christmas 2-2 we go again boys I don't think Morescu is good enough for Chelsea I think he can get them top four possibly on the trophy man yeah they can be in the Europe now haven't they I think he's good enough to get them in and around the top four but he will not be the man to get them where they want to be which is challenging for titles, serious competitions, I don't think.

38:13But also, they're a good two, three players away from even being in the title conversation, aren't they? Let's be honest. They need a proper left wing. They need a starting goalie centre-half and left winger.

38:23Reev:Will Estadio start? I don't think so, yeah. He's a bit young, isn't he? He's tearing it up, though. Yeah, he looks great, but again... He could knock Chelsea out. Yeah, but again, he's better off the right. What happens if he knocks Chelsea out? He can't. How can he knock Chelsea out when they've just lost to them.

38:45Theo:He's got a score, though. Yeah, he did. He's got a great goal, actually, with his weak foot. But, yeah, he's primarily off the right or in the 10. So he doesn't... They've got multiple people for that. They've got about four players who are better off the right.

39:00Reev:Oh, there you go. Tough, isn't it? They should go for Rodrigo. That would be a right. Hang about.

39:07Theo:they're after Gittins as well. Yeah, I think they've signed him, haven't they? 50 mil. Yeah, hasn't he been here we go'd? I thought he got here we go'd. Where will it end?

39:15Reev:They're just signing everyone. He is off the... Sorry, yeah, we've been on... Isn't he off the left? He plays off the left. He's going to be their left winger. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, there you go, he's signed. I've never watched him play. 50 mil? Out of nowhere? Does he start every game for Dortmund? Oh, mate, I'm not even going to. He made him... I watched a bit of him in the Club World Cup when he came off the bench. against fuck I can't remember who and he looked sharp but I'd I'd be lying if I gave you any information on him Gittens have a look he's English isn't he yeah he's 20 he played 49 games for Dortmund last year 7.1 average rating pretty damn good player he'll get in the England team next year he probably will he's playing for Chelsea regularly well if he's going to start did he was he in the Euros team over the summer I know he was at the Clubhouse What the fuck am I on about?

40:07Reev:It's okay, man. Eight goals, four or six. You came from City. You moved from City to Dortmund in 2020 for the under-19. Yeah, I mean, look. He's probably good. There's your left winger for Chelsea. But, yeah, I don't know. We'll see. We shall see. Right, guys. Moving swiftly on to a fun little segment I like to call the tier list for the top 20 most expensive Prem signings ever. We are using transfernarchy.com and it's in euros. so stop crying. And I will say, boys, some stinkers in this. I stinker. So we've got Florian Verts, Enzo, Griglis, Rice, Kaiseido, Lukaku, Pogba, Anthony, Just do them one by one, you fucking idiot.

40:49Theo:Do the team. We don't need to do that. We're going to raise the issue. We're going to say the player and then put them in a tier. You fucking piss me off daily.

40:58Reev:Well, is there going to be graphics so people can see them? Yes. He's going to record the screen. Okay,

41:02Theo:God, Jesus. You fuck me off. So the tiers, to explain it a little easier, are flop, where's the receipt, not bad, not great, worth the investment, and bargain, obviously in ascending order there.

41:14Reev:Yeah, and do we know the prices for each player?

41:16Theo:Bargain is a bit crazy, isn't it? Bargain is the top name of the...

41:23Reev:Well, I'd say Declan Rice was a bargain. If you don't... He's not, though, is he? Like, how can that much ever be a bargain? That's what annoys me about that section. Okay mate, okay He's like Okay Alright He'd literally have to be like Ronaldo level For it to be a bargain Well come on he is

41:43Theo:It should be worth the investment Worth more than the investment Yeah Or just leave it as it is People know what we mean People know what we mean

41:52Reev:Let's start with Kevin De Bruyne From Bargain Man City Buying De Bruyne for 70-ish million It's a bargain right He was like 60 mil pounds He's an all-timer yeah for£60 million

42:05Theo:he's the best midfield in Prem history in my opinion so yeah I agree I actually did put him in my top 10 Prem signings of all time you didn't really ask so I'm going to double down

42:13Reev:yeah bargain for Kevin De Bojner yep whatever the there should be another tier for that I'm sorry I'm sorry

42:20Theo:you got me back from earlier I heard that half

42:23Reev:and I was Rasmus Hoyland oh fucking stinker flop flop in it £70 million yeah he's not even got double figures

42:31Theo:see where's the receipt in flop that's like it's almost synonymous do you see

42:35Reev:I don't know if it was true or not but Hoyland in the group chat obviously it's not fucking true what are you on about it's from that football humor account whatever it is they are good at it no just bizarre just bizarre Amaran in the group chat is like oh we need a striker boys Hoyland replied don't worry Gaffey you've got me no what it was they put out Hoyland's been kicked out of the group chat after someone put in the Yikarez signing and he replied to it being like don't worry lads you've got me and he just went is that true? Right Kepa

43:14Theo:it's not man Kepa Kepa to Chelsea Kepa flop 80 mil yeah crazy flop one of the worst flops ever he didn't even last the full season did he? Arsenal just signed for five minutes he did become the manager at one point though he's still the most expensive goalie of all time in life do you reckon

43:33Reev:he's more of a flop

43:34Theo:than Hoyland or not he's up there yeah for the club he went to yeah not in terms of career in the Prem what do you mean he only lasted a year at Chelsea what I'm talking about his performances at Bournemouth etc like his overall career I'm talking about Chelsea specifically yeah he's a oh no yeah the signing's a flop 100 % but he said like what did you just say a second ago I didn't say anything he's just talking to himself Right, next door. Next door we've got Pepe. I'd go, where's the receipt?

44:04Reev:Yeah, he was at... He gets such... He had moments, but mate, he was like 70 million. Yeah, no, but he wasn't as bad as like... He was all right. It was still a flop. Is it not just a flop? It's not a flop. Honestly, he wasn't as bad as everyone said. He gets... He had two in one game actually. In Europa League though. Right, Havertz. Is this to Chelsea? He won them Champions League, mate.

44:31Theo:Not bad, not great

44:33Reev:I'd go middle

44:33Theo:He paid it off Middle diddle He actually probably is the reason why they're in the Club World Cup now He actually didn't because as we saw earlier You only get 25 million for winning the Champions League Oh that's very true Yeah but look how much they've made in the Club World Cup now Oh my god

44:48Reev:That's what I'm saying They wouldn't be in the Club World Cup

44:51Theo:And they sold him on for basically the same amount of money How about bought João Pedro

44:56Reev:Righty, moving on to Wesley Fofana He was 80 million euros.

45:03Theo:I mean, you feel bad because he immediately broke his leg. So where's the receipt?

45:11Reev:Yeah.

45:12Theo:Because he's been good when he's played. But he hasn't really played. That was like due to a horrendous... Van Dijk bargain.

45:18Reev:But is Fofana, is he fit now? Yeah. I think he's quite good looking.

45:23Theo:He is fit now. But is he going to... Has he played in the Club World Cup, Tom? No, he's not. He's injured, man. No, he's injured. oh back end of the season he was fit wasn't he no he wasn't he's been in and out he's been injured since April

45:34Reev:he's been 14 games he played 20 games last season 14 this season yeah I mean where's the receipt Van Dijk bargain top of the pile please that's not even a right which Lukaku transfers this one all of them this one this one is to United for 84 million pounds euros sorry I'd go not bad not great he did score some goals at United you know some goals He honestly had a decent season during the one year at United. Wasn't it like 20 goals? Under thingy, what's his name? Mourinho won it. Moyes won it. No, he wasn't that early. 27 goals in 51 appearances first season. He did all right. 15 goals in 45 second season.

46:16Reev:That's what I mean. Not bad, not great.

46:17Theo:If we're given Havertz, don't you find Lukaku is like,

46:19Reev:he actually just gets... Scores goals everywhere he goes.

46:22Theo:Mate.

46:22Reev:Other than Chelsea.

46:23Theo:He's a bagfist. He's a bagfist.

46:26Reev:He's a bagfist. Chelsea.

46:28Theo:What was his record at West Brom? Or like the one that he had

46:32Reev:the youngest player?

46:33Theo:17 goals and 38

46:34Reev:appearances. He scored 18 goals in one season. We only had him three. 17. He didn't start most of those games though. Pretty damn impressive. He was off the bench. How many games did he play for us? He played 38 games. He played in every game? I didn't think. I didn't realise that.

46:48Theo:Did he not have the record for youngest goal scorer to 100 before Harland?

46:52Reev:Two in the FA Cup, one in the EFL, Tom, 35 in the league. I reckon at least 10 of those off the bench you couldn't get in the team for ages Bagsman Lukaku right Sancho's a flop yeah that is a flop Sancho was 85 million euros to United yeah so bad Darwin do you know with like players like Sancho like how can how can your form just completely drop like that confidence

47:22Theo:yeah pressure different system starting to play for the league etc at Dortmund it was not the same as coming to United was it? No of course I know but like

47:30Reev:you're that good you're that talented

47:32Theo:it's crazy that you can It's a different level as well Yeah But you only get to see a 90 minute snippet of their journey each week don't you? Why are you doing that? Well no but you never know like they could train differently they might be eating differently Yeah Issues off the pitch Yeah

47:49Reev:True that

47:50Theo:We base everything that they do on a match on the Zawin

47:53Reev:85 million euros Where's the receipt?

47:58Theo:Not bad, not great? I think not bad, not great is fair. Really? Yeah. Well, he has been not bad, not great. Yeah. I'm like, by definition. Yeah, that is him in a nutshell, isn't it? That's Darwin Nunes.

48:12Reev:15 goals first season, 18 second season, seven goals last season. That's almost his tier, by the way. I think that's fair, middle. Has he been better than Pepe was at Arsenal, though? I wouldn't say so. I think Pepe was better at Arsenal than Darwin's been at Liverpool. Yeah, but Nunez has helped them win things. Pepe won an FA Cup.

48:34Reev:I don't get what's funny. Sorry, you're right. He got us to the Europa League final. And how did that end? Well, 4-1.

48:44Theo:Look, I'm not too honest. I don't care. I feel like not bad, not great is literally Darwin. I can't put him above Pepe. I don't agree. Why? Sorry, Pepe was shit. Pepe's the greatest player. He was okay for Arsenal. He was okay. He's my hero. He came with a massive reputation. No, mate, you don't understand. Pepe's the guy. It got him out of the bottom two or three or whatever it was on FPL because he got a brace in the final day. He captained him. It's so funny, isn't it? Yeah, we're keeping him there. Maguire, I think the same. Not bad, not great. Not bad, not great, yeah. He's been good. Yeah, but you can't say he's worth the investment.

49:21Theo:But I would say Maguire's been better for United

49:23Reev:than Nunes has been for Liverpool.

49:25Theo:well okay you can move him up to the left a bit I'd agree but

49:28Reev:you know what I mean yeah but he's not worth the investment he's 80 million let me ask you this who's Havertz at Chelsea Nunes at Liverpool I think Nunes at Liverpool Lukaku at what's at Chelsea United United just reading out all the players again do you know what I mean like

49:45Theo:that's why they're not bad not great what are you trying to say though are we ordering them in the tier as well or we can't do it for every tier we're not ordering the tier as well yeah

49:53Reev:Well, Gavardial, worth the investment. I agree. I think so, yeah. This is a bit of a guess, and it brought up. So far, so good for Gavardial. Anthony. Flop. By the way, Gavardial's 90 million. Anthony, 95 million euros.

50:07Theo:Yeah, that definite flop. So, United have three out of the bottom four already.

50:11Reev:What about if he did his loan to Betis?

50:14Theo:Then it would be... Technically not a Premier League signing, is it?

50:16Reev:Not bad, not great. It's anti-State United? Is he going to... What's he doing?

50:22Theo:What's the situation with Anthony? I think he'll go. You should Google that. Yeah, stop going back. No one knows.

50:29Reev:Okay, well, we won't bother talking. But Paul Pogba to Man United, 105 million euros. I'd go not bad, not great. Yeah, not bad, not great again in the middle. He had his moments, didn't he? Worth investment? No. What did they do? Brand exposure? No. We can't look at it like that. We can't look at it like that. He was good for Man United. He was also bad. Very inconsistent. Would you say he was great and bad? I'd say he was not bad and not great, yeah.

50:53Theo:He didn't either, actually. Pog back, though. The thing is, the gap between not bad, not great, and worth the investment is quite a jump. Yeah. So to say someone's actually worth it. One, two, three, four, five.

51:03Reev:He was there for six seasons. Yeah.

51:06Theo:Yeah, but he's not two of the bottom tiers, is he? He was still Paul Pogba.

51:09Reev:Yeah, he had his moments, but he also had some bad moments. That's why he's in the middle of it. But put him on the same level as Darwin Nunes and Haber.

51:17Theo:But that's what we just... Yeah, we're not organising the tier, though. No, I know, but... Not bad, not great

51:22Reev:actually covers quite a lot of... No, I agree. I just think he should be a tier above, personally. If we were doing this...

51:27Theo:If we had another tier, then, yeah. If we had another tier, in terms of specific geographical real estate, it'd be bargaining at the top, worth the investment in a slither here. Not bad, not great. It's this big. Yeah. And then where's the receipt and flopper even bigger?

51:39Reev:Yeah, I guess so. Well, he's just signed for Monaco, isn't he? Yeah. Lukaku flopped to Chelsea. Yeah. And I think the next two are worth the investment. Kaisada and Rice. Yes. Definitely worth it. Right now, worth the investment. already that's just crazy Kaiseido obviously wore the hunt by the way Lukaku going to Chelsea was 113 million euros yeah that was so bad what is it mate I've got to find Lukaku's overall transferred sales might be more than Neymar's he's got one of the highest yeah 369 million euros right this is an interesting one Jack Grealish worth the investment you reckon

52:18Theo:yeah they were in a treble like he was pretty influential yeah go on then yeah

52:24Reev:yeah sorry I didn't tell you the price of Lukaku's 113 Karsedo 116 Declan Rice 116 million euros Jack Grealish obviously 117 million euros

52:36Theo:I mean there were points where he actually was great as well yeah especially the treble winning season he was good I think it's that's a close one between not bad not great and worth the investment but I'd give him the edge yeah considering what he helped them win and achieve yeah I think we'll give him Enzo's a good one I'd go not bad not great for this

52:56Reev:I wouldn't put him in the same level as Rice and Caissara no way not yet but he had a good season he had a good season yeah he has improved and he started making those late runs into the box getting a few goals yeah I think yeah we'll put him not bad not great and this one I don't know what we do with this a prediction I would say worth the investment yeah I think I agree I think he's going to be worth the investment but what we've seen

53:18Theo:serious levels to this guy man serious level. It is a lot of money, isn't it? Well,

53:22Reev:you put him in, what did you put him in?

53:25Theo:Over 8-11 for only financial reasons because we haven't seen enough of him, have we? In the Prem, obviously. I could see him being a not bad, not great, to be honest.

53:35Reev:No, I think he's going to pull out hard, man. Me might be right, especially with him selling Diaz. I think he's going to be 25 million.

53:41Theo:He's going to play for left, I know. Unless he goes on to be like one of the best players Liverpool's ever seen, he's probably never even going to reach that bargain, Terry. No, I don't think he'll reach bargain, but I think he'll be worth the investment. No, but that was the reasoning as to why he felt a bit overrated because obviously he could never achieve that status. I hear you, man.

53:58Reev:I hear you.

53:59Theo:Anyway.

53:59Reev:Well, guys, let us know what you think of this, Tilius. I think we've pretty much nailed that, don't we? I'm happy with that. I don't think, yeah. I'm sure people will say we're wrong, but whatever.

54:07Theo:Yeah.

54:08Reev:Well, we're wrong about everything. So we've got in the flop, we've got Hoyland, Kepa, Sancho, Lukaku to Chelsea and Anthony. Yeah. Where's the receipt? We've got Pepe and Wesley Fofana. Not bad, not great. We've got Havertz, Lukaku to Man United, Nunes, Maguire, Pogba and Enzo. Worth the investment, we've got Vardy Okasela, Rice, Grealish and Florian Wirt. And Bargain, we've got Kevin De Bruyne and Virgil. When you see him next door, do you realise how ugly Harry Maguire is? Sorry, Harry. That's mean. That's what you mean, say sorry. He's not the best looking bloke in the world, is he? As a bad photo.

54:44He got it with the ugly stick a few times though when he was younger.

54:47Reev:That's awful. You're a terrible person. You're going to hell Take that back now No because I'm already Going to hell anyway Hell baby Hell hell He's actually fit I mean

54:56Theo:He probably He has the facial proportions Of like reaching the edges Of the picture Yeah He has His face is as big As the moon I'm not I'm just saying What are you guys
