  • From Kylian Mbappé's move to Paris Saint-Germain for £166M to Jude Bellingham's transfer to Real Madrid for £86M, marquee signings are often among the most sensational events in a football season. Journalists, fans, and the public alike spend months speculating over what expensive signings football clubs will make during the winter and summer transfer windows. This video essay delves into what exactly constitutes a "marquee" signing and player, explores the sociological aspects of these acquisitions, and examines the criticisms they receive due to their exorbitant and spectacular nature.

    Which players do you think have been the most successful marquee signings, and which ones have been the biggest flops? 🤔

      most successful is probably cristiano, whereas the biggest flops include Antony,dembele,etc

    Hazard I would say is the cautionary tale of a Marquee signing. I do also think it was a very important lesson for Madrid & Florentino to be far more discerning.

    Going to manu is basically career suicide, been that way since SAF left but with how Sancho has been performing it’s even more evident.

      I think it's the whole staff that works at the club that is outdated. Just look at the medical staff and how badly the team is suffering injuries this season. Ineos has basically announced that they are gonna completely reset all of United and get a load of modern competent people and I think that's a good thing.

    Since Neymar’s transfer to PSG, a player can be just okay and go for big money. These price tags were reserved for the best and most famous footballers. Now, feels like any footballer can be a marquee signing

    • @Coach-rq6jx
      @Coach-rq6jx 16 днів тому

      Clubs can set their limits and control their market though. For example, in a market where centre backs go for 50M now, Real Madrid got Alaba and Rudiger for free. Real Madrid negotiated Bellingham's transfer fees from 150M to 100M, provided that it was partly because of the good relationship between the clubs. The market will keep on inflating, but clubs can delay the impact it has on their budget until they an compete through smart business.

    • @nabeel426
      @nabeel426 16 днів тому +3

      @@wilfredv1930 let me explain why I think so. Kane was already in his 30’s when Bayern signed him for £90M which for the calibre of player he his is somewhat understandable. However he was on the last year of his contract and we know he wasn’t going to renew hence Bayern could’ve negotiated better in that regard but it’s the wages that’s the problem. Kane is earning above £400,000 a week which is crazy for someone who is 30. I know Bayern needed a striker but look at all the strikers they could’ve signed this summer: Osimhen, Vlahovic, Dovbyk, Watkins, Gyokores, Guirassy, Openda, Zirkzee, Scamacca, Joao Pedro, Sesko, Jonathan David, Santiago, Gimenez, Simon Banza, Boniface, (most of these players can get up to 25-30 goals of Bayern if they were to play for them)etc. it’s understandable that a lot of these players don’t have the same ability as Kane but if one is spending that kinda money on transfers+wages one probably should expect that player to elevate them to winning the UCL, Bundesliga, the Pokal, etc. it’s unfortunate that Bayern have been declining for some years now but in my opinion value for money I don’t think it was the best move they could’ve made
