    The only reason the premier league is attractive to players is the wages (sorry guys, it was never the dream of Mo Salah to spend his days in Liverpool weather) and the premier league is not suffering (yet) from lack of competition.

    Weird take

      Don’t agree with the first part, even if you don’t take into account wages the PL is still as attractive as any other big league outside of La Liga

      Yeh we don’t have the best weather granted but don’t tell me the UK isn’t one of if not the best countries to live and travel to play top flight football.

        To live not, I am pretty sure most players love warmer and sunnier place. But clearly to leave is not that bad at all, specially London.

        And of course Premier league is one of not the best league in the world. But it partially because of the league being able to attract talent with very high wages. The argument is a bit the chicken and the egg here I reckon
