Nowadays there are too many players who can't get a contract elsewhere, who come to England and just take the money.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think sometimes managers like to buy players because they're more experienced from abroad or when they've got players under their nose that will give everything to the club they've been brought up with.
It's not uncommon for a big free agent to come to a new club with a big contract and not perform up to his standards.
At the moment there are some England players who are the stars of their club teams, but not for their country. It's difficult to explain.
Footballers are an easy target. They are offered big lines of credit. Every sport is vulnerable; it's such a big gambling industry, and there are problems with syndicates in other countries.
My record shows that I'm not the kind of player who wants to change clubs every season, and I would have no problem playing in England for many more years.
English football has just had a transfer window imposed for the first time, so it will be interesting to see how managers cope with the squads they have until it re-opens.
No matter how much money you have or what kind of cocoon you live in, the reality is that you have lost a game of football and let England's fans down. We are bothered.
Something interesting has happened over the last 10 years in the Premier League. Players who once would have been discarded as expensive and too old have become important parts of title-winning squads.
In England, footballers are respected more, the game is more noble, there's less cheating. Every Spaniard who goes loves it - and comes back a better player. If I had ever left, it would have been to England.
They are not your players, they are loaned from the club. You just wheel them out for a game for England.
