[ As if it were any use, ]Is there a superstar deficit in the Premier League? is Sam Wallace’s opening line in the Daily Telegraph that completely derived from the ridiculous hospital pass that the FA Cup weekend featuring none of England’s most well-known clubs brought to an end.
You know you’re muggling into middle age when you realize where all the true superstars have gone. Wasn’t it better to leave your door open, have men or women work, and have stars in abundance? The issue is? It never really was. Erling Haaland, Mo Salah, and Kevin De Bruyne are three of the top-paid players in the Premier League, according to Forbes list of highest-paid players in 2024 ( the most recent available ).
Salah, Paul Pogba, and David De Gea were the Premier League’s three representatives in 2020.
Sergio Aguero and Wayne Rooney served as the Premier League’s two representatives in 2015.
In 2010 there were three Premier League members: Steven Gerrard, John Terry, and Frank Lampard.
In 2005 the Premier League had one representative ( Thierry Henry ).
It almost seems like there have never been many artists in the Premier League, but some people enjoy being overly glassy-eyed about never-eventual halcyon days.
No Premier League player had ever won the Ballond’Or for 16 times before Rodri sparked an deluge of Madrid-based p*** next year. The Premier League may create superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Salah, but it does not consistently sign artists who were at their maximum. Let’s face it, Paul Pogba is undoubtedly the different in recent years, and that is a painful lesson for everyone. No American league has ever needed to sign a Zidane, Messi, Neymar, Mbappe, or Ronaldinho, which is important. This trend does not exist now. De Bruyne and Enrique were not formally endorsed as superstars, while were Aguero and Henry.
It is possible to say that Manchester United has signed giants like Ronaldo and Zlatan, but let’s not believe that they are even close to signing Mark Mbappe or Jude Bellingham. However, Wallace is undisputed On One in the Telegraph, and the Telegraph’s article states that the Premier League lacks light value beyond Mohamed Salah and Erling Haaland.Every present needs its headliners. With Jude Bellingham not having played a moment in the Premier League, who are the eyes of the group besides Haaland and Salah as Kevin De Bruyne approaches retirement? Harry Kane is outside the Premier League.
Have you perhaps heard of Bukayo Saka? perhaps Cole Palmer? Fernandes, Bruno Or Rodri, a true Ballond’Or win?
Rodri and Saka are all mentioned by Wallace and immediately dismissed, which is presumably because they are injured, not real superstars, who probably never do that. The argument is completely flawed because: a ) the Premier League doesn’t typically sign superstars; and b ) the Premier League doesn’t actually need to sign superstars. Despite Wallace’s attempt to make a possible second consecutive year without a Premier League team in the final four of the Champions League into an A Point, the Premier League is flourishing in terms of revenue and also in words of Europe. Does the Premier League require the most renowned players in the world?
asks Wallace, and before he ends on stem, perhaps it doesn’t because he is so near to working out. Not when the film, Sam, is playing capacity-sold out theaters every year.
Thank f*** a Premier League chock-full of absolute nobodies returns (including Saka) on Tuesday night
