You see, I can't tell if you are serious or not.

Rooney could comfortably make any team in the world.
He is better than any RM forward,except ronaldo and he is much better than Pedro.

The fuck is a RM forward.

kinda same with germany and italy

Foncesca and RR hit the nail on the head, no reason to restate the reasons then. The similarity RR made between the US and England was interesting though, outside of the UK the US just might have the largest number of English players playing in the league, and it's not even that much.

The only English players you will see abroad are usually youth players.
Its because of many reasons such as of how high wages are here. And most English people dont have much family or freinds in places like Italy Spain Germany etc - this is probably why alot of Brazilians dont play in the EPL aswell.

Theres not many English players that would excell in another top European league club. Off the top of my head theres

Rooney
Cole
Hart
Wilshere
Cant think of mqny more

Why would players want to leave the best footballing country in the world?

A Real Madrid forward, presumably.

Hart would struggle, I reckon Carrick would appear to be a lot better in Spain or Italy where the tempo is a bit slower.

I fail to see how Hart would struggle. He's a goalkeeper..


And I'm sorry, but Gerrard could easily play abroad, as could the likes of Lampard. These guys aren't shit, as much as some of you lot like to think they are.

Yeah, he could play abroad, probably for a club around the same level or beneath what Liverpool are now though, not for one of the top clubs.

Goalkeepers pass the ball out in la liga, not hoof it. Instantly lose possession.

So, you think that Hart is incapable of passing a ball over a few yeards?

With consistent accuracy yes.

I think he means struggle to get into a top European club.

Real Madrid were after Gerrard not too long ago so yeah add him but im not too sure with Lampard. Not really been his best lately.

So, was that why Real Madrid made an approach for him last summer? Don't go overrating Liverpool now, we're in a blip at the moment, but Real madrid are just a little bit better than us, for now..

Gerrard would be third choice at Real Madrid behind Ozil and Kaka, previously he would have been third choice behind Sneijder and van der Vaart are prior to that he would have been behind Zidane (waaaaaay behind Zidane) in the pecking order.

It was obvious bullshit.

Why would you move abroad when you have an excellent football system on your doorstep?

Real Madrid have been after Gerrard for fucking years. It's the worst kept secret in football transfers. The 'missing' piece in the puzzle he was. They did everything to get him, on more than one occasion I might add as well. Steven was never interested in moving to Real though. Wanted to stay at Liverpool and finish his career here.

About 30% of the Swansea squad are English. About 50% of the Cardiff squad are English. About 50% of the Wrexham squad are English.

Quite a few English players leave England to play football.

Why would you want to move abroad, when you have such strong lower leagues?
