"the players", and a photo of joe "howler" hart ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

loving that part of english humour from the writer

Where are they all?

Until Ibra signed for Manchester, the entire league did only have a single world-class striker since Suarez left. Higuain, Benzema, Aubameyang, Lewandowksi, Griezmann, Morata... all doing fine in Italy, Spain, Germany...
And BPL still doesn't have a single world-class central back, winger or central midfielder... where is that hypothetical depth and majority of class players you're always bragging about?

BPL's favorite teams are currently signing overpriced "talent" from Bundesliga/La Liga upper midtable clubs or the rejects from the top tier clubs.
And they probably are also signing English talent... well... they would be if it wasn't for the fact that there is none. Sterling? Stones? Jokes of players...

Vardy.

Mahrez.

Drinkwater.

Morgan.

See above for 2/4 english talents. (3 qualify as "english")

/thread.

With all due respect to what Leicester accomplished (although it's definitely NOT a sign of a high-quality league), Vardy is neither a "talent", nor does he represent world class. He's had a fantastic season and a great run as a scorer, but that's about it. We'll see and judge next season.
Morgan and Drinkwater are far from world class as well and Mahrez, although he had a great last season as well, is overrated as hell. It's the entire league's inability to properly defend as a whole (not letting Mahrez free-roam a little through midfield without pressure and then giving him the opportunity to go 1on1 with the slow and clumsy likes of Micah Richards or others) that made Mahrez shine throughout the season. He wouldn't be able to pull that off in Italy or Germany under constant pressure in midfield and defense and even most Spanish teams have learned to defend on a higher level...

They all have premier league champions medals and messi doesn't.

/thread.

Messi has several La Liga, CdR, CL & World Club Championship medals while they don't.
Also, Messi has a runner-up and Player-of-the-Tournament medal from a World Cup, which they all cannot win simply because they're English^^

Suarez is considered "world class".

Suarez wasn't good enough to win the premier league.

Suarez easily wins La Liga.

/thread.

Suarez' new La Liga teammates are able to play proper football. His PL teammates unsurprisingly weren't... /thread.

So what you're saying is the Leicester players I mentioned can.

Logic trapped.

/thread.

They could do it better than Liverpool before obviously... being (relatively) better than Liverpool, Chelsea and other "top teams" still doesn't make you good (in absolute terms) though.
