You missed the memo, mate.... Every thread is the English-bias thread.
Yeah it’s tedious. It’s gone from ‘how to make this thread about Kane’ to ‘how to make this thread about English bias’.
if tierney was english he would be the 'main man'. as hes the actual only legit good player they have. martenlli can look good in spots but not consistent enough, saka..HAHA. let the mushrooms keep the hype alive, does us a massive favour. they'll come round in a couple years like they did for winks and dele. hopefully by then the damage is done and they've fallen even further behind.
if people watching that england game the other night couldnt see the difference when grealish came on, providing actual quality and nous, compared to watching saka not have a clue what to do with the ball against actual proper footballers. then bless them, watching a game they have no understanding of.
if grealish starts over that useless little donkey england win that game comfortably, was like playing with 10 men until he came off.
absolute insult to compare him to a proper footballer like kulu.
Tierney was their main man before they realised he was a crock and never fit.
Saka is probably a nice kid but unfortunately, he's probably going to be Rashford 2.0. Massive hype by the English media followed by an epic downfall.
Nah, no one is more overrated than Rashford.
Saka although a gooner is a decent player. But yes, overhypped.
Every English player is overrated by function of being English playing in the Premier League - it is what it is. It doesn't mean an English player can't be good/great - it just means that more value is assigned to them because they're English.
What a stud!!
It’s mouth watering to think what this lad could achieve playing a full season here . We really have got a proper , clever footballer to excite us next season , he will only get better .
Imho this kid really feels the love and is going to be a fucking hero here with 3K pages in this thread.
No it means less RISK is assigned to them (if they are PL proven). And less risk creates the additional value. Additionally, a homegrown quota drives up value as well.
This is the case with any PL proven player, English or not. All else being equal, the English player will be assigned more value by function of being an Englishmen playing in the PL. They're relentlessly covered and hyped by the media which has a lot to do with it. For instance, I've heard more about Dele in the English media more than I have Son, Jan, Toby, Hugo and Dembele COMBINED.
I imagine Kulu is going to be always under the radar as well.
This is part of it.
Kulusevski is electric. He's one of those players who lights it up every time he gets it.
Just switched on the Sweden game right now and he just took on two, beat them, took on another, beat him and just fluffed a shot. Literally the first touch I saw him have.

Running the show. Haaland will grab the headlines but Kulu is comfortably the best player on the pitch.
Assist for Kulu.
He's a lot different to the player I saw at Juve. Clearly been transformed confidence wise & was struggling with Allegri's setup/the obstacle of Dybala. I'm still expecting a downturn in terms of productivity next season as defenders get wise to him but he's brought a lot of intelligence & quality to the front 3 for sure.
I do like him. But will be very interested to see how he does in his first full season at the club.
