Absolute cods wallop, and shows how reactionary people can be. Italy have played 3 good games of football against 3 average to crap teams, one of which played half an hour with 10 men. But suddenly, that points to wider, systematic biases. Obviously there's money in the English football pyramid which means players values are inflated, but the likes of Kane, Grealish, Mount, Reece James, Foden, Rashford, Trent etc. would walk into any top side in Serie A. English sides are increasingly dominating Europe and they all have a solid chunk of English talent within their sides playing an important role. And besides, English sides would love to buy the likes of Chiesa and Locatelli but a fear of leaving Italy means these big money moves don't happen. It also helps that England is managed by Southgate, a guy who got Middlesbrough relegated and Italy have got Mancini, a PL title winner.PL-players are extremely overrated, they have always been overrated, but at this time when they get more money they get more overrated.
Some people seem to value a player for the price tag they got. All PL players always are overly valued for this reason.
Italy for example dont have players with the same value as PL (english players) but they are probably better in every single position but english fans fails to understand this just because english players have higher value and the only reason they have higher value is that theyre playing in a league where the players have much higher price tags than in serie a based on what they earn and what theyre worth in the PL, and Serie A will fall short in money big time against PL.
Basically the success of PL has made english players seem more valuable than they are
