I think it's endemic of the state of English football at the moment. If the English players were that good, the 'big' teams would be full of them. There aren't many really good players out there and the big boys don't like taking their chances. There would be more English players at the top if we had a youth football culture more like Spain or Germany.
Cleverly failed to turn up for England Camp today, some quick witted Fa official rang St Marys and when they lokked in the dirty uniforms, they found him still in Spiders pocket
