Yeah yeah, whatever.There a difference between clubs looking to sign MORE 'Premier League Proven' players and making out top players abroad are not rated due to not being 'Premier League Proven'
Because there has been so much money in EPL there has been a hell of a lot of money wasted on foreign players as seen as the latest shiny toy. Some clubs have moved away from that and tried to get more of a UK based squad and more signings who have proven can fit in to the EPL. That means everything from handling the intensity of it to being comfortable living there.
Interesting you highlight a West Ham opinion from 2017 when they were almost relegated through going after so many foreign players at a high cost and foreign coach all of which more or less caused them to lose their identity. Since then have solidified with 'PL Proven' coach in Moyes and more British based players and 'PL Proven' players at spin of team.
Someone like Ben Chilwell being PL Proven is a massive plus as some players regardless of ability dont fit in any league at times. See Di Maria at United as prime example.
You just take it to heart and try to make out that 'PL Proven' is used as some kind of final stamp of authority for top players and used over those who have not played there when it isnt.
You lack a basic understanding of what is being said and once again apply it to chip on shoulder.
The amazing part is you not understanding being 'PL Proven' is a consideration for teams spending so much money.
First, it was just a cliche.
Then, the article was clickbait fake news.
Now, it is a consideration for teams spending so much money.
I'm fully aware of that last point as it has been highlighted by the high fee paid for a player like Maguire who is both PL proven and british, despite not being close to the best quality wise.
You have your view, i have mine. It has been made abundantly obvious we are not going to agree.
