Man utd & Arsenal could attract world class players. Both teams appear to av money to spend,but none of their main targets appear interested in either.

EPL teams are going to get a BIG fright one day soon when they discover that the EPL isn't the 'best' league in the world any more as their teams don't reach the semis or final of the european comps - and as a result the best players go elsewhere. I'd rather like seeing the smug look wiped off the EPL Chairman Scudamore's face.
What a surprise! Would never have predicted this post from SILH...

EPL clubs have done better than any other country over the past 10 years in reaching the latter stages of the Champions League. The stats are as follows:
England - 3W, 5RU
Spain - 3W, 0RU
Italy - 2W, 1RU
Germany - 1W, 3RU
Portugal - 1W, 0RU
France - 0W, 1RU
No doubt the EPL is beginning to lose it's sparkle.
There were many televised matches last year played in front of half full stadiums.
Unless they get the crowd 'atmosphere' it makes for dull telly.
Anyone notice that budget team Dundee United defeated the FA cup holders the other night?
Good stats here!!! :thup: You cant argue with that. I dont like the players I think they are way over paid and overated but I do do love the game and the drama of the EPL. Its the best and most competitive league in the world by a long way and probably the toughest. Any of about 4-5 teams could win it with the others all making an impression. Yes some of the better players go to Madrid or Barcelona but we know why that it is.... France, Bundesleague, La Liga and Serie A yes have one or two good teams but its not half as exciting or competitive. Most of the top European players who dont chase the money or the climate and can handle the pace will come to England. Shame our national team doesnt make the grade however.....![]()

Hardly surprising the England national team is struggling.
