I disagree. Man Utd have Pogba, De Gea, Mkhitaryan, Lukaku. City have Aguero, De Bruyne, Silva, Bernardo Silva (He caught the eye of many clubs and fans last season, a gem). Chelsea have Fabregas, Hazard, Costa (who will join Atletico Madrid in Jan I believe), Morata, Azpilicueta. Tottenham have Dele Alli, Kane, Danny Rose, Alderweireld. Arsenal have Sanchez. Liverpool have Coutinho.

These players can walk into most top clubs in Europe, maybe with the exception of a couple. Then they have players considered second tier like Emre Can who is wanted by Juventus, Walker was linked with us and given the shortage of top RBs he could possibly play for most top teams out there.

WC teams take years to build. Our Bayern team wasn't built in 3 transfer windows, It was a process over 8-9 years and 4 great coaches.

English clubs seem to lack the patience and tactical know-how, they also lacked top coaches but they've got world class coaches now. If they get past the patience part and keep building I think they'll do alright.
