I have noticed that English, Spanish and Italian strikers generally only play well in their home league. Just look at the NTs of these three countries. 90% of the players are home based.

They all find it equally hard to adapt to each others league. Which is why Torres may prosper in Liverpool, since it's half Spanish anyways.

Maybe that's me that thinks that. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Not many world class players from the 'big 3' are trying to move. Why should they? They are already playing in a big league, big teams and it's close to home.

No, I know what you're saying. Those that have don't end up too great though. Here's a few examples: (They're not all stars, but you get the idea.)

Robbie Keane: Premiership player, tried his luck with Inter. Failed miserably.
Fernando Morientes: Prolific with both Madrid and Valencia, couldn't buy a goal at Liverpool.
Bernardo Corradi: He was decent enough at Parma and Lazio, but went abroad with Valencia (Spain) and Man City (England) and didn't really hit it off.

I find Dutch players seem to have the best 'adaptability', they have players doing very well in Spain/England/Germany/Italy. I'd like to see us enter the Dutch market, Huntelaar inparticular. Highly doubt we will though. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Morientes is a good player, Corradi and Keane are sh!t.

Becham did o.k, Owen never got the opportunity, Mcmanaman played good only in his first season. Alonso is great (and the rest Spanish colony in Pool are o.k), Viery was superb in his only season in Spain. Also Vialli, Zola Ravanelli (spelling) were good. Cannavaro was average ... There are another few examples but not enough to tell something specific.
