Do you think that having so many foreign players in the Premier League detracts from the English players.

The sport in, my opinion, is a bit like a weekly soap opera at the moment.
one word... "AGENTS"

They are evil greedy scum who hold clubs to ransom on behalf of player, with the excuse that they only trying to do the player a favour. Of course, the player who has just got a new contract with £10,000 a week more is happy... but the scary threat from the agent that other clubs are interested in signing his client and playing double what he's been offered is a naughty tactic boarding on black mail!
