The latest episode of the Lowdown sees @LyesBouzidi join Dougie and Michael to debate each big six club’s best signing since 2020-21!

What has been the defining transfer of Arsenal’s rise under Mikel Arteta this decade? Odegaard arrived in 2021, Saliba returned from loan in 2022 and Declan Rice has proved an excellent big money signing too.

Who has been Liverpool’s best signing during an era in which their spine has stayed largely the same? We discuss the impacts of Jota, Konate, Luis Diaz and Mac Allister. And what about Chelsea? Do we need to look back to the success of the Thomas Tuchel era or crown the contribution we’ve seen from Cole Palmer over the last year?

And perhaps our most interesting debate comes with Man United, who have had a patchy transfer record over the last five years to say the least – can anyone be considered a total success at Old Trafford?

  1. Liverpool supporter here. I really liked your debate and you all made valid arguements. Great shouts from all you three.

    I wanna go a bit outside the oppositions box here. I think Caoimhín Kelleher has been sensational ever since he joined as a youth player from Ringmahon. Since he was promoted to our 2nd keeper, he was always there to help, has been phenomenal in cup competitions, nearly never put a foot wrong in the league or Champions League. Given how big Alissons footsteps are and his injury record, this is one hell of an acheivement from our humble number two. In my opinion the best 2nd keeper in our recent history.

    And this penalty shootout against Chelsea.

  2. its outrageous that you didnt talk about luiz diaz for liverpool or cody gakpo, for sure theyre over jota but the mac allister is the right pick imo, but i cant fathom not picking maddison for tottenham, he is the heart of the team when he plays, nearly everything flows through him

  3. Jota to Liverpool is what trossard is to arsenal. The best 12th man who is good enough to be in the 11 but for whatever reason never seems to claim the spot as his own

  4. As a Liverpool fan, macalister. Jota is inconsistent af, his link up play is really mid. His finishing is one of the best in the league but his dribbling and playmaking have been so frustrating to watch at times. Macalister has been Mr consistent for us, he’s never had anything below a 7/10 imo since joining and has been the staple in our midfield

  5. It has to be Ødegaard for Arsenal, has to. Saliba has changed the defense, made it impenetrable while Ødegaard has changed the entire team. The attitude, the work rate, the vibe and the whole class of the team is made better because of Martin. He is also Mikel's right hand man on the pitch, he bases so much of the tactics on Ødegaard doing what he does. Just see how, after just a couple of matches without the captain in the starting 11 they have suddenly turned in to "Mourinho park the bus" according to so called experts and rival fans.

  6. Best signings in last 5 years:

    Liverpool: Alexis mac Allister
    Man City: Erling Haaland
    Arsenal: Martin Odegaard
    Spurs: Guglielmo Vicario
    Man Utd: literally no one 🤣🤣🤣🤣
    Chelsea: Cole Palmer

  7. Jota replaced Firmino and Firmino became a squad player because of that? I'll give him the benefit of the doubt because he's a United fan tho but yeah he's wrong with that. Jota was always a starter until he started getting injuries

  8. I would say Jota was lfc main striker last year if it weren't for injuries. They could have challenge for the title all the way if he was fit at the start and towards the end of the season.

  9. From a Chelsea fan, I think Arteta was the best signing. He changed Arsenal. Its kind of like Sir Alex, give him anyone- he will make a decent team. The way he axed Aubameyang, the way he changed the loser culture. Yes Odegaard, Saliba are good, but Arteta has MADE them good.

  10. He was waffling about jota not being a main guy. He has been phenomenal in crucial stretches of seasons being clinical and powerful. Definitely Jota over Maccalister so far.

  11. Gabriel right now
    Is just as good/important as Saliba is, since the beginning of this season he has been a massive figure.
    They are the best defending center backs in the world
    I wouldnt swap any of them no matter who it was

  12. Arsenal fan here .. i can say that saliba is the best signing we made cuz when you look at the transformation we've had it all Started when saliba stepped foot in that first eleven.
