Well, I can field that question kinda.
And you're right, it is the style of the EPL, it is a dop league, before that Diouf was earning his keep in the French league, which many will say is weaker.
Also, I think Word Cup form is deceptive. I mean on any given day, a club side is stronger than a country's best 11. Also athletes tend to give more at national level.
Also in other news, Arsenal got themselves Jose Antionio Reyes, a 20 year old striking machine from Spain. Let's hope the rumoured 20 mil was worth it, and he doesn't turn out to be another Jeffers eh ?
