The likes of Frank Lampard and John Terry at Chelsea, English players with proper status at a club, they're going to be like the dodo bird. Extinct.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
Only 38 per cent of players in the Premier League are English; that is a damning statistic. Soon, the England manager will have to go scouting for players in the Championship - and when I say 'soon' I mean the next four or five years, perhaps even for the next World Cup.
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.
So when they have Mourinho and Benitez joining the Premiership they should say it's good for us, maybe these guys have something new to give.
Of course it is going to be difficult for any player to get in the Chelsea side no matter who they are.
I think Liverpool have a long history with many great players. I hope one day to be up there with those great players. I'll try my best to write some history here.
They are not your players, they are loaned from the club. You just wheel them out for a game for England.
If one day I leave Arsenal, I will never sign for another English team. Quite sure.
To play for Chelsea is a blessing.
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.
