Why is the standard of football in this league so abysmal when

>>75301201
Overpaying for shit players

>>75301470
>Pogba, Ibra, Bailly, Mkhitaryan
>shit players

>>75301470
>kante, costa, luiz, pedro
>shit players

Higher stakes means teams are less willing to take risks on and off the pitch and strongly prioritise short term success, and a generally ignorant footballing culture means people wouldn't appreciate good football anyway

>>75301470
this

>>75301201
Because EPLEL is a league where Stones is the most expensive defender
Because EPLEL is a league where Sterling is the most expensive wing
Because EPLEL is a league where Pogba is the most expensive midfield
Because EPLEL is a league where Kante (a former benched french ligue 2 player) is the best player
Because EPLEL is a league where Mahrez (a former benched french ligue 2 player) is the best player
Because EPLEL is a league where Martial as been bought 80 fucking millions
Because EPLEL is a league where Zlatan (an almost retired and free player aged 35) is literally best player of the historically best anglo club

kek

>>75301201
Same reason why England is so terrible internationally, complacency and a generally poor footballing culture

>>75301619
>generally ignorant footballing culture

Its simply not true.

>>75301884
sterling is actually good though??

>>75302451
this but unironically

>>75301201
>when it has essentially unlimited money?
That's irrelevant when everyone charges us more and also the Spanish clubs pay higher wages

The law of diminishing returns: a player on £200k p/w isn't twice as good as a player on £100k p/w.

But the majority of PL teams are foreign-owned, have foreign managers and their squads are made up mostly of foreign players.

>messi isn't twice as good as rooney

So which is the best? Germany or Spain?

>>75303815

>Messi earns twice as much as Rooney

Thanks for proving my point, dickhead.

>>75303888
surely messi is the opposite of your point

>>75303910

Messi is significantly better than Rooney, but their respective wages don't reflect that.

Paying more doesn't guarantee you get a better player.

They should promote more Englishmen and start buying less foreigners

>>75301201
Yeah it's so shit it still has 2 teams in yurop in April.
One of them relegation battlers and he other fighting for 5th

>>75304205
when liverpool do this everyone bullies them lol

>>75303710
Only Real Madrid and Barcelona do. Stop equating our league with the two cancers killing it.

>>75304205
Agreed, but developing talent takes time and could harm a team in the short term, which would cost the club a lot of money these days

But when you look at the great English teams of previous years, they always had a strong English core of at least a couple of world class players. At the moment it's hard to call any English players world class

>Messi is significantly better than Rooney
Stopped reading right there, bud

Unlimited money means shittier scouting, mass molestation means traumatized players

No gameplan besides parking the bus and/or hoofing it long praying someone gets on the end of it, even the """big""" teams do this quite often

>>75305394
>No gameplan
>Managed by Pep, Mou, Conte, Klopp etc
>They had gameplans in other countries
