[!@#$%!]

i'd agree that the best players are not in inglaterra. just look at the cl quarterfinals and compare to your champions. however-- i haven't seen much of bale, but he looks promising, right? i mean i've seen a couple of spectacular goals by him but i haven't watched him play week in/week out. maybe in a few years?

btw i read about gomez also maybe to chelsea-- where he'd be the perfect replacement for torres. same kind of slow large beast, only he actually scores.
