 Welcome to Toffy TV, here's the Premier League show, the season may be over, but we're still chatting about last season and the lad's over on Bette Victor's last fan standing channel, make sure you go and subscribe, check it out, I've been talking about the signings of the season, the most overrated players of the season, the worst signings of the season. Let's hear what they have to say. The most overrated Premier League player, I forget this season might be ever, is Aaron Ramsdale. Arsenal fans run around like he's the second coming of bloody, I don't know, David Seaman. The guy makes more mistakes than he makes saves, he's a big passion merchant, he reminds me of if Joe Hart and Jens Lehmann had a baby, like I just don't get what's going on with him. And Arsenal fans are still trying to convince you that he's the best player about, he's the best goalkeeper about, he should be playing for England. He's just a massive, massive passion merchant, he's not a very good goalkeeper either. So yeah, Aaron Ramsdale, most overrated player in the Premier League. Adam, they're going for Ramsdale as the most overrated signing of the season, he just thinks he's the most overrated player overall. Where are we with Adam Ramsdale? I think the thing with Ramsdale is he's come into a top six club, a team that generally has a lot of media attention on them. He's came in and pushed a goalkeeper who's highly rated but he's not the best of season that season, he's pushed obviously Lena out the club, not the club, out the first team. He's young, he's English, so a young English talent always gets the, maybe sometimes they can be over hyped or get a bit more attention in the media. But I think the thing with Ramsdale is he makes sales you expect him to save. He can see his goals you'd expect him he should save. He's not like one Arsenal 10 points to get them into the Champions League. He's not like carried the team where you look like. And also he's obviously been getting in the England squad the past three times. I don't think he's done much to pressure Jordan Pickford. You look at Jordan Pickford, a lot of people say he should be in the first team instead of Jordan Pickfords. Jordan Pickfords, you know, he potentially kept all, you probably couldn't say he has kept everything in the Premier League with some of the saves and he's won us points rather than Ramsdale. I just think he's an average goalkeeper. But the fact that he's young English and at a top six club you could say that he probably gets more attention than he should do. Yeah, definitely. I think it's been a perfect storm. Don't forget you can check more of that video out over on Beth Fichter's last fan standing channel. Beth Fichter, you go over, leave a comment. Tell them what we sent you. I think it's been a perfect storm for Aaron Ramsdale because I think he signed and Arsenal needed that big presence. You know, Leno, I never thought he was up to it and he needed that big presence and he come in and like Adam was saying on the video there, he's a passion merchant and the fans seem to love all that, all the fist pumping being involved with them and all that kind of thing. But there's also a media bias against Jordan Pickford. People want them out of the England team. People don't like him. People said last season England would have won the Euros if it hadn't been for Jordan Pickford wasn't in goal, even though we saved penalties in the final. This pathetic media narrative that gets latched on to by things like social media and he was the perfect answer though to that and then they blow his saves up like he'd just make normal saves and they'd make it look like he'd made all these incredible, unbelievable great saves They weren't, they were just normal everyday saves that you'd expect a goalkeeper to make but they were more hyped because you might tip one and it might have hit the bar and bounce down or something. And for me it was like Emperor's new clothes, it just didn't seem, it just didn't seem with what they were putting on it but because he is English and because they all want Jordan Pickford to replace this thing and goalkeeper because they think he's a liability. I mean I've seen, I remember when Liverpool played Arsenal and literally one went through him like he was a hologram, like he was pathetic. But that's the problem when you've got young English talenters, they're over hyped and then when they make mistakes we go after them and I think that's what's happened with Jordan Pickford as well. Over hyped and then everyone goes after them and you know Pickford had a bad couple of years for Everton where he just couldn't get his head straight but for the last over a year Jordan Pickford's been superb for Everton, very superb and it's ended up with this season and making saves that have helped keep Everton in the Premier League. In fact I think he got Premier League save of the season for the one against Chelsea so that's right there about Adam Ramsey. You've got to aim the right to become the England number one goalkeeper but it's a very specialised position and you've got to have Southgate being unwavering in his support so I think he's absolutely right there on the overrated ones. Any other you can think of overrated? I suppose for a player to be overrated you've got to be highly rated and I think all the players that have under performed you can say this season will talk about those in a minute because there's so much more attention on players and players who have come to Premier League for a big fee or new signings, big names, they normally get quite hounded in the media so I wouldn't say anyone's overrated. It's difficult to overrated because you're looking at players who are probably just average players and then the media just blow them up or do a couple of things like what you're saying with Bamsdale there, do a couple of things that makes people think that they are just better than they are and that's always a difficult one because on the video as well they discuss the way signs of the season and it's a slightly different one isn't it? So I'm just going to put one in the box here so Jack Grealish is someone I think who, is he overrated? Is he worth the hype or is he a bad signing? How do you think about that one? So the bad signing thing is, I think it's the fee that sort of makes up the narratives that he's £100m signing and he's not really worked. I don't think it's a case that he's not really worked, he's clearly a good player. Obviously he has to adapt to City's, you know, the pet guardiola style of play because when he was at Villa he's a player that would pick the ball up deep and he'd make a lot of progressive runs and get them into the final third with City, they're already sorted there for 90% of the game to be honest. But a lot of players, Man City's sign, they come in and they text them a season or two to really get that kick start. It's always been Adel Silver when he came in and he had a bit of a slow start, players like Gundagum, Gabriel, Jesus, I'm sure there's countless players you can name that have got off to a slow start with City and they have to get up to that, up to speed with a pet guardiola style of play. I wouldn't say it's a bad sign and whether he's overrated, I don't think he was rated as good as he was when he was at Villa, I don't think people talked about him enough, I think he was a brilliant player and I still think he is and I think the best of him is yet to come. I think Grealish, it was £100 million buyout so he's not, so can you say that's a bad sign and well it was a buyout from Villa that he wanted them. Did he have as good a season as he would have hoped for now? Is he overrated? Again, I don't know whether he's overrated, maybe he's underperformed but I don't think that's the same as being underrated. Like you just said there, I think you have to get used to the system at Manchester City and I don't think he's always understood his role in the team and that'll come. We still won the Premier League tightly, still had his little moments, they've not been perfect but what was interesting off the back of signing someone like him is how other people elevated themselves, the likes of Bernardo Silva, how he elevated himself in the months, Kevin De Bruyne, it's just a superb place, it's not about elevation, Phil Forden stepped up at times and all those players who may have, certainly someone like Bernardo Silva where people thought his days were numbered because of Jack Grealish, you've got more out of him, so I think Jack Grealish has not had a season like he had last season for Villa but Villa he was the main man, he was the number one player, he was allowed to do what he wanted when he came to Manchester City, there's a lot more tactical discipline and I think this season, yeah it's been tough for him but I don't think he's overrated and I certainly don't think he's a bad sign, maybe we'll find out next two, three years whether he's been a bad sign but I think he's played his part, I think he will have to do more. If he wants to be more of a Man City type player, of course he will, Pep Guardiol is not going to stand for a player who just does things off the cuff because that's not a Pep Guardiol away because anyone who's watched him take the ball or pass the ball, there's people like, it's why he fell out with Zlatan, Zlatan wants to do his own things, there's other players who just want to do their own things, they've got to play within the system because that's why Manchester City is not going to play. I think Manchester City and the other teams, Pep Guardiol is managed so good because of the system, it's not about one player so you know, time will tell with Jack Reelish. Yeah I suppose this isn't a narrative but this sort of feeling that players will go to City and do an amazing job, obviously they just signed another £100m sign and they signed Eric Harland, I think there's this feeling that you might go in and oil score 20-30 goals and that's all the trophies boxed off. A lot of players have gone to City and like I said, not got off to a great start so it's like I'm about to get used to that style of play and Eric Harland's never been in the Premier League so there's no saying that it's going to come and score a million goals so I suppose it's important not to over-hype these plays, like some people might have done with Jack Reelish. Another player I suppose you want to talk about, you want to talk about bad signings or something in that, what about Ben White, £50m for Arsenal, for Brighton, has he lived up to the billing of what he, £50m for a centre? Well again I think it's that, it's always a fear evaluation of a player that can set a narrative and I think maybe £50m is what Brighton wanted as they valued him, maybe he's not worth, he's probably not a £50m player but he's obviously what he meant to what it was worth to Brighton and Arsenal really wanted him. He's gone in, he's a, they've had a stable back for, they've had him and Gabriel as a partnership and they're both young, they're both stable, whether he's over-hyped because he's, he had like one or two good seasons, well one good season in the Premier League and he's young English, he's a centre back but he's just a stable average centre back, he's okay on the ball and he's an okay defender. I just think for £50m, he wasn't, I don't think he's been transformative, I don't think he's been absolutely amazing, time will tell them of course as well like we said but I think if you want to come on to poor signings or what seemed like poor signings, just want to throw a couple in the hat. Romelu Lukaku, £100m into Milan to Chelsea was supposed to be the man who came into the club to probably bring them that title, giving those extra goals, getting them on the same level as Liverpool and Manchester City but it hasn't worked has it? Well they haven't had a natural number nine since, for probably a couple of seasons now haven't they? They haven't had someone who would just say he's a world class striker, they've had Havertz in there and Werner, obviously Havertz played more of that role this season, I think the feeling when Lukaku would go in that he'd be the one to bury all the chances. Obviously he'd had a higher XG than goal he was scoring, the conversion rate wasn't fantastic last season so I suppose he'd obviously haven't just won a league in Italy as well, everyone thought he'd be the man to go in score, 20 plus goals, he'd obviously done it at Everton. It didn't work out for him at United but obviously he had physical issues with the problems at the club but he'd gone to Italy and it seemed like he'd turned his career around so I as well and many people thought he would come and do brilliantly but he's had problems with the club, he's had problems with Tuckall, he's had problems with going out and speaking to the press and stuff which I don't think helps the situation. I just think he's 29, he had to come in the door and be the finished article, I think when he signed, Social tried to use him, I think he scored on his debut against Arsenal, I think Social put him in there but I think Social's system just you know it's not for a player like him, it's for a player like he's used Cai Havertz more as his main striker, you're false nine almost. I think he's the city do it and La Cacu scored goals but the problem is it doesn't suit Social's system and it was so evident that when Roman Abramovic left the club La Cacu just completely was left out, I think when Abramovic was there Social knew that he had to use him. Not all the time but more than not or whatever but as soon as Abramovic went that was it for me and I think his stock's completely fallen off a cliff and I think this summer we'll see Romelu La Cacu leave Chelsea, it's not, they don't want to play with a player like him and out and out striker, it doesn't suit them, it's not, it's not necessarily what top clubs have anymore, you know you look at Manchester City, you look at Liverpool, both play without her. I think when you play with a number nine they have players who move in a system, very flexible and I think when you play with a number nine you're stuck to a rigid system and actually that's going to be actually very interesting next year from Manchester City when Haaland comes in so yeah I think Romelu La Cacu will move on now, it'll be interesting to see where he goes with, he goes back into Milan or someone else takes a chance on buying Munich maybe with you know Lowndoski going to possibly Barcelona. Maybe La Cacu could be the ideal fit for them, I don't know but it just doesn't work. Yeah I think the thing with Abramovic is they make signings and it's not necessarily for the manager or it's more like for the club or Abramovic's type of signing, not type of signing but his own signing so with Frank Lampard he didn't sign Havertz and Burnham and Chilwell for Lampard he bought them for the club and if Lampard couldn't adapt with these players then he ultimately got the sack and I think with Tuchel I don't think Lampard, I don't think La Cacu is quite a type of Tuchel striker, La Cacu's not someone you need like Dominic Havertz-Lewin, he's someone you need to throw balls into the area for, he's a bat to goal type striker, he's good on the ball but you know he's not like mobile or fluid like Havertz and quite clearly he prefers Havertz over him up front. Another player I just want to throw in as well is, and I feel sorry for this player, I don't know whether it's a bad sign or not but Jadon Sancho, Manchester United chased him for two years, they finally got him and all you're going to say is that he clearly had an idea in his head of how he was going to use Jadon Sancho and how he was going to use Rashford and then at the last minute Manchester United decided to bring Cristiano Ronaldo in. I think it threw all those plans out the window and Sancho was left almost as like the old man out. It just hasn't happened for him this season, his numbers, three goals and three assists in 29 games, one goal in the Champions League, no assists, no goals in the EFL. It just hasn't worked and I don't know what you'd call him, a flop or whatever but I feel really sorry for him because he moved back from the Bundesliga, done really well with Dortmund, was in the England side, it went in and out the England side but he was part of the squad and I feel really sorry for him because I don't think it's his fault. Manchester United once he got Cristiano Ronaldo had to make, had to play him because that's what happens if you've got 36-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo and you're trying to get every last ounce of him and I don't think he ended up scoring 17 goals so he certainly did that but yeah I feel really sorry for Jadon Sancho this season. It's hard to criticise a player who's come into the club and scored, there was many goals that Ronaldo did and probably as one man United as many points as he did but I think last season obviously they finished second, they had a strong finish to this season and it was sort of like Oligoda Solskjaer started to build something and you know Jadon Sancho's something you look at is like he's a young up and coming, he was pretty much world class in Germany and he was brilliant. And it was like a long term thing and then Ronaldo's came in and they've had to make sacrifices and it's not just with Sancho, we saw with Fernandez, Fernandez was just dropped off massively because they all have to facilitate Ronaldo. So I want to talk about best signings now just to finish off but Cristiano Ronaldo, I suppose he has to go down as one of the best signings but the fact that Sancho never got going and the fact that Bruno Fernandez has dropped off a cliff, can he be looked at as a good signing considering how much he's had on that Manchester United side? Because I'm really torn on this, I know he had a fantastic season but I think his influence on the side was really poor. I think the influence on the club more so to be honest, it was a disruptive sign and he came in, you have a player who's got like a massive ego and has that much influence on the club and on the team when like when you've got your managers Oligoda Solskjaer and what can you not say? Got no control. Exactly so. Got no control. And it created too much of disrupt to me, the other argument is he scored 17 goals but really what has that done for United in the long term and what has it done with this season? Just a couple of other ones I wanted to mention, Conagallager, on loan with Christopher Palliser, fantastic season, broken to the England team, will be expecting to now get a chance at Chelsea but he was fantastic wasn't he? I think he dropped off slightly but towards the end but it was a great season. It was the perfect situation for Palliser as well because obviously he was good at West Brom, he could have gone to anywhere and he could have shown. But for Christopher Palliser obviously he's out of the season with a lack of players, they lost a lot of players and they had a new manager as well, obviously Patrick Vieira is new to the league. So I suppose he was under pressure he could say to do well so to get a young Conagallager on loan to come in and do as well as he did, help them out massively. I think he did really well. Deijon Kulesewski taught him coming in January, I think he's been brilliant in the second half of the season, really really good and I think they'll tie that up. They might do it this summer but I think they've got him on loan for another year but I think they'll tie him up, he scored goals, he's made chances. I think he's been, and in fact all the sign I'm going to mention now have all been from January and a lot of people say don't buy in January but I think he's been superb for space. Well ultimately a few months ago there was talk of Conte leaving, talking to him so the past few months have been brilliant. I was surprised they got him to be honest, I think he's 21 years old, he was very, very highly rated. He was one of the main players but then when PLO left he dropped off so it's been a really strange one. He's a player isn't he, he's quite physical but he's also really fast, he's a good goal scorer, he penetrates teams like Sonders and to have a play like Cain. Another genuinely signing really big sign and some on that Evan missed out on by that much. Lewis Diaz went to Liverpool, scored goals, made goals, won two trophies, played in Champions League final, just missed out on Premier League. This is a player that a couple of years ago teams in MLS wouldn't fork up the money for. Everton wanted him, nearly, nearly got him but the fact that Hamas Rodríguez wouldn't go the other way or a deal couldn't be done for Hamas Rodríguez, stopped Everton from getting him and he's ended up at Liverpool and he's had a brilliant second half season and really he forced his way into the side and you know if Marnay leaves which would be a big blow for Liverpool that least I'll have someone like Lewis Diaz and Jota there as well to forge that front three. Well he came in and straight away looked like a Premier League player, the impact he had. And I suppose like for him and Jota as well you normally in the past few seasons they've had for me and your Marnay and Salah and they've had to rely on those three to get all the goals and I think Diaz coming in and you can say the same for Jota as well, they've came in and it gives them the option to you know have a variation off the front three and wrestle players, Diaz comes in and adds goals to the team, Jota's done the same so and it's ultimately it led them to get far and well obviously they played every game they could have possibly played, I think that's down to some of the signings they've made certainly early with Diaz unfortunately for them, not for everyone else, they couldn't top it off with another couple trophies but obviously you know the fact that Marnay is obviously talking a leave and there's that question about Salah as well it believes the pressure to it takes off some of the pressure that they have to replace them because it would be a day after. And just finally my personal play this season, certainly best sign them, whatever, best sign them, Christian Eriksson, brought in at risk to Brentford, obviously we all know what happened to him at the Euros last year and he was just amazing, he was a breath of fresh air, he scored goals, made goals, helped Brentford, climbed the league, really was a breath of fresh air to such a good wholesome story and Brentford deserved huge credit and you know we watched him face down, they called us in park and I know we were down to ten men but he was absolutely fantastic, absolutely fantastic, he ran the game he's just absolutely well class, I don't know whether Brentford will be able to keep hold of him now because he'll become a free agent again and he'll have a lot of top clubs listen he might look at it and go I'm happy and back playing football it's great or he might go now I'll go back to space or somewhere and really have a last, last go at winning trophies and of course you'll have the Whale Cup as well coming up so what a story, what an absolutely amazing story for him and for Brentford. He's in at first hand, he's a creative player and he controls them in field and he's a leader as well, he's had a good career and for him to come in at Brentford obviously they needed some creatives in the midfield, I don't think they've scored enough goals and at that time when he came in as well they were just above the relegation zone no could say they're really safe and he came in and they started picking up so many points and I think that's down to him to be honest. It was down to him, he was superb in every way and I think he's a leader as well he's a well class player and I think other people in the dressing room with a look at him and gone follow his example and he was absolutely fantastic so for me he's been the best signing of the season and as I said it's such a good story as well so listen, let us know your thoughts in the comments who would you have as your biggest flopper this season, most overrated player but play this season, best as I say the signing season let us know your thoughts in the comments make sure you get over to Beth Victor's last fan standing channel as well and watch the whole of that video as well leave your comments over there as well give them a like, give them a subscribe as well make sure you subscribe to the channel as well it's always good to hear from the Latin there thoughts on the topics going on so there you go, thanks for watching this subscribe if you haven't and we'll see you later
