  • From Arjen Robben's move from Real Madrid to Bayern Munich under a desperate Louis van Gaal, to Bayer Leverkusen's signing of Liverpool and Premier League legend Sami Hyypia, HITC Sevens takes a look at a number of transfers that show panic buys aren't always a disaster.

    I understand that this channel is English (although I'm not saying at all that Alfie ignores the rest of the world, quite the opposite), but Hakim Ziyech to Ajax has to be one of the greatest panic buys of all time too. Just weeks before, Ajax' technical director Marc Overmars had stated that Ziyech was a good player, but that Ajax wouldn't be pursuing him. Then Ajax had a slow start to the season, winning just 1 of their first three games in the Eredivisie, and losing the Champions League play off to Rostov of Russia, and Overmars does a 180 and signs Ziyech on deadline day in 2016. Four years on and Ziyech has helped put Ajax back on the map with great performances both domestically and internationally, reaching a Europa League final and coming within seconds of a CL final (both were thought by many to have become impossible for a Dutch team to reach), winning silverware domestically, as well as many individual rewards, including Ajax player of the year three out of four times, despite playing alongside players such as Frenkie de Jong, Mathijs de Ligt, Dusan Tadic and Andre Onana. A bonafide Ajax legend.

    Dinamo is one of the biggest clubs in Eastern Europe,it has 18 league titles and 13 domestic cup titles...It reached the Champions League Semi Final in 1984 after beating the holders of the trophy Hamburg...In the Semi Final they played against the great Liverpool side of the 80's...After the 89 revolution the club lost one of their greatest generation after their players where bought off by western clubs,similar to what happened to the clubs in East Germany that you already talked about...Corruption and neglect brought this giant of romanian football to it s knees...At the moment Dinamo is preety much the ONLY true historical side in Romania's top division...This team stood afloat thanks only to it's fans...In the summer some new spanish chiarman came and bought the club,brought players on huge contracts and left without paying them...The players just broke the contracts and the club accumulated even more debt...If the fans did not step in and accumulated 2 milion euros the club would have been dissolved...For anyone watching outside of Eastern Europe it might be hard to understand it s value...If u re English imagine Liverpool being dissolved...This club is OUR Liverpool,and it's stadium OUR cathedral...With all the fears of relegation,players leaving and managers coming in and leaving the club still managed to fight it's way to a Romanian cup Semi Final...Please,make one video about our story too...

    Dion Dublin to Villa. After Yorke forced his move to Man Utd, Villa signed Paul Merson. An incredible start to the season saw Villa top of the league, but Merson picked up an injury, Collymore was dogged by off-field issues and Villa were knocked out of the League Cup and UEFA cup in successive games. Desperate to regain momentum, Villa brought in Dublin, who went on to be considered a club favourite.

      @@yagesh287 a player can contribute in many ways, besides the obvious - scoring goals. He can contribute with assists, aerial presence, skill on the ball, organizing the play - all things Eric Cantona did. What is probably harder to see is the mentality factor - he was a natural champion. Arrogant, determined and strong willed. A big game player, and he gave this mentality to the whole squad, especially on the young and upcoming players like Giggs, Bekham, Scholes, Neviles, Butt - the so called "class of 92". His influence was immense and each of them said it on many occasions. So if you just sitting there, counting goals - you're missing a lot from the beautiful game :)

It only seems like that as they took full advantage of the fact Leeds tried to open talks themselves regarding trying to acquire Dennis Irwin
