Then they won the Brasileirão again in 2020 and reached the Libertadores finals in 2021 and 2022, losing the first to Palmeiras and winning the second. They also won the Brazilian Cup in 2022.

Props for including the 2009 Real window. It's easy to label it as "failure" because the impact wasn't immediate, and some Players didn't live up to the expectations entirely, but the long term impact of this window can absolutely not be understated. It laid the groundwork for 5 CL wins and ending Peps Barça reigns as dominant force. Ronaldo and Benzema won 10 CLs and 6 Ballon d'Ors between them, and scored about 800 goals. Xabi Alonso was a big influence for how Madrid played in the midfield, laying the groundwork for the legendary KMC trio soon to follow and he also learned a lot from Mou and Carlo during this time which now shows through his success as a manager. Arbeloa became an absolute Real Madrid legend, having 7 mostly successful seasons at the Bernabeu and now is a very promising youth coach in our academy. Kaka may not have lived up to the expectations entirely, but he still played his part with 68 goals during the Mou era. Albiol was a solid back up choice for 4 years and was sold with a profit to Napoli, where he would have a solid career. And even Granero had his contributions in the 20011/12 season. That being said, Milan 1987 turned them into the best club in Serie A and internationally for the next 20 years, so I wholeheartedly agree.

Woahhh that 2011 la liga season was crazy the 18th placed team was only 6 points away from the 8th placed team

Thanks for mentioning Brighton's last summer transfer window since I was the one who recommended them in your twitter post 😁 I know it would hardly make the cut but if it's okay I hope you can make the list of 7 best 2-way transfer window of a club, that means they master in both buying and selling, like Inter 2009.

Alfie you should really consider doing a video on the Bosnian men's national team, from being ranked 13 in the world in 2014 and qualifying for the World Cup in Brazil, to not qualifying for a single tournament since, yet managing to win their uefa nation leagues group, but genuinely hitting our lowest point with a 2-0 defeat to Luxembourg. Aging players, players who represent other national teams that are eligible to play for Bosnia but aren't seeming interested, just the genuine geopolitical mess that Bosnia is with how the Dayton agreement was meant to simply end the Bosnian war yet became the country's de facto constitution. I think it would make for a very interesting video, and could even span additional videos like how Velez Mostar are forced to play away from their original stadium in Mostar as it is on the Croatian side of the river, with their old stadium being taken over by Zrinjski Mostar. A club that was actually banned in Yugoslavia because of their nationalistic origin

Love your content Alfie!!!

Can’t wait for the videos that come after the season start

The Come dine with me guy was a nice touch. Great vid as always

Even considering how remarkable Malaga season was, I think in a couple of years we will consider Napoli summer 2022 transfer window at least the seven best of all times, if not even better. Thiss will depend of course on which legacy will Napoli’s last season leave for the future years and on how bright will Kim’s and Kvaratskhelia’s future be.

Have a feeling in maybe 10-15 years time if this video was remade Arsenal’s 21/22 summer window could feature if they continue to rise in the way they have. Ramsdale, Odegaard, White could all be long standing legends by then

As for my club Chelsea (yes, I've supported the club since before the money), even the Kezman deal wasn't bad because we made a profit on him x

Wolves summer 2018. Incredible window that set the club up for two 7th place finishes, Europa League run and FA cup semi.

Liverpool 1977 should definitely be there, bringing in Dalglish, Souness and Hansen whilst making a profit. Won 3 champions Leagues and 5 league titles in the following 7 seasons

Fun video Idea I would love to see on the channel if it doesn't exist but it is hard to make: 7 Best Academy classes, everybody knows about Madrid's Copa del Rey exploits to the Quinta del Buitre, Man Utd's class of 92 and Barcelona's although separated, incredible work (Pretty sure Messi Cesc or Busquets/Pedro were together) but I would love to see what else is out there

Kaka was not the same, but he was so good that it made his 68 goal contributions out of 120 games not seem “good”, but most other players would be called legends with those numbers.

Having watched Real Madrid regularly throughout the post-2009 era, I think you undersold the impact on the team that Xabi Alonso had over the many years he spent at the club. Having that calm presence and pinpoint passing in the middle drove much of what Madrid did offensively for the next decade. So, far, far more impactful than Kaka, there's not really a comparison.

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).

Mijatovic scored the winner in the 1998 Champions League final too. That cemented his legendary status at Real x

Madrid's 2009 isn't even debatable as being the best transfer window of all time.
