Nah breh, these casuals need to understand the gulf in class between La Liga and the BPL and with the rise of Atletico and Sevilla it's widening.
The only golf in class here is between Real/Barca and the rest of the league. The rise of Sevilla and Atletico are false dawns, similar to what we've seen before with the likes of Valencia, Deportivo, Villarreal, Athletic Club etc. Their best players get plucked off by Real/Barca/the big PL teams/Bayern/Juve, their manager fukks off, and they're never heard from again.
I may be wrong, and I personally would love to see an end the Real/Barca La Liga duopoly, but history has shown us time and time again to not get our hopes up.
Of the top six in the BPL only Chelsea and City might, might, might get a 4th place finish if they're lucky.
You don't really believe this do you?
The rest are mid table clubs. Top six La Liga in premier league would be a joke, imagine Arsenal getting smashed 5-0 four times in a season by Real and Barca.
As much as it pains me to say, Arsenal are a good side and (in a league system) would give many La Liga teams a run for their money.
Also, hilarious as it was, you can't really use two legged Champions league-ties as a barometer for how a team would perform against similar opposition in a league system, given the contrasting dynamics of the two types of competitions.
Every time a player goes from BPL to La Liga they only take the absolute best.
Henry. Was best BPL Player at the time.
Ronaldo. Was the best BPL Player at the time.
Bale. Was the best BPL Player at the time.
etc.
And by La Liga you mean just Real Madrid and Barcelona?
Also, let's be honest, it's not always the absolute best they are plucking from the premier league:
Torres - past his sell by date when Atletico re-signed him
Alex Song - Why Barca bought him, I still don't know
Vermaelen - perennial crock who Arsenal couldnt wait to get shot of
etc.
La Liga to BPL.
Yaya Toure. Was a reject.
Aguero. Wasn't allowed to play for Real and Barca didn't need him.
Silva. Barca didn't need him.
If Isco or James Rodriguez joins a BPL side I'm sure you'll know why.
Costa, Cazorla, Sanchez, Mata, Torres, Fabregas, Ozil, De Gea were players plucked by PL teams from La Liga in their respective primes, so its not all one way.
If you're given a chance to start your life over but must choose the path of a footballer, you must choose a club you'll spend your youth career on but they cannot be a top 3 side in either the BPL or La Liga. Anyone who doesn't choose La Liga lost.
If you're a young footballer, there would be a lot of other factors that'll come into force when looking to sign your first contract, not just the prestige of the league.
Even if you come out of Sevilla's academy and then at 18 years transfer to the premiership, you are by default technically better than 100% of the league, at 18. At that point its up to you to develop physically and tactically.
Breh, I agree with you that La Liga at the moment is a stronger league than the Premiership, but you doing the most with this post.
:Deadtrumper:
Suarez provides the fukkery year after year
Breh, they wouldn't even split the ties vs Atleti or Real or Barca. They struggle against pacey players guess what...La Liga only has 4 of the 5 most dominant wingers with pace on earth. I think even Sevilla would give Chelsea a good run...
If anything you are proving the point that the Prem isn't that competitive when a coach can come in, change tactics and add one player and sit on top of the table.
