Haaland to Arsenal? Pitch Side breaks up Man City's squad, one player at a time

Theo, Reev and Tom gave every City player a new club, and the shout that sends Erling Haaland to north London is the one the comment section cannot let go.

PREDICTING Every Man City Player's Next Club!

What would happen to Manchester City's squad if the club were forced to let it go? Pitch Side answered the question in the most Pitch Side way possible: Theo, Reev and Tom went down the list and picked a next club for every player.

The episode, "PREDICTING Every Man City Player's Next Club!", had close to 150,000 views within twelve hours, where a new full episode on the channel usually ends its whole first day near 33,000. It came on a day when the channel as a whole was running below its usual pace.

The predictions take a while to arrive. One of the most liked comments helpfully points viewers to the eighteen-minute mark, because the hosts warm up first with the usual detours: academy rules for clubs that drop out of the league, whether winning the Nations League really counts for much, and Eric Cantona's early retirement. Viewers also flag a "guess the imposter" bit near the start and a voice crack from Theo deep into the second half.

The pick everyone is talking about is Haaland to Arsenal. It tops the comments, and those writing back mostly argue that the Norwegian would sooner head to Spain, with Barcelona and Real Madrid the names they keep raising. A short cut from the same debate, "HAALAND TO ARSENAL?!", went up the same day and is still small next to the full episode. Elsewhere, one viewer defends Josko Gvardiol to Liverpool as a sensible call.

The longer format follows a run of quiz videos, including a Premier League player quiz from the day before that has also done well. At least one viewer would like the City treatment repeated for every club in the league.
