I know that a lot of German clubs are unhappy with the Premier League clubs' spending, but I think it is something good for all clubs in the end.

Thomas Muller

Everybody likes the Premier League. It has a lot of spectacle, a lot of goals, and many good players. It is natural that every good player is attracted by that league.

Michy Batshuayi

The way the Premier League is now we have a lot of foreign players. A lot of very good foreign players.

Mark Noble

I watch a lot of football and you hardly ever see Premier League players go down with cramp. The fitness, the intensity of Premier League football is phenomenal.

But before Derby go, would they mind telling the rest of the Premier League - the league which it has debased with its pathetically-inadequate presence for the past 12 months - where the money has gone? You know, the £30m or so in prize money that every team, even the one at the bottom of the table from August to May, automatically receives by being in the Premier League... So what happened to that money? Or put another way, why was such a meaningless fraction of it spent on recruiting new players? It's one thing not to compete; it's quite another not to even attempt to do so.

Pete Gill

The Premier League is a wonderful league, the best league in the world, and there are a lot of clubs who overachieve and they overachieve massively. Because of results they get pushed down instead of people scratching the surface and seeing what is really happening.

Tony Pulis

There's a lot of money coming in, and so a lot of good players are going to each team, so every game is a fight, but on the other hand, it's good to get a good, competitive league.

Kevin De Bruyne

If you want to build a good team, you need to spend a lot of money, especially in the Premier League.

Robert Pires

The Premier League is probably the best in the world so if you have a lot of players who play well there, it's normal that they are going to grow as players.

Jan Vertonghen

I think the Chinese clubs put up a lot of money for the players who go to China, to make the Chinese league stronger.

Oscar

There is a common mistake people make. They say, 'We need to play the young English boys.' Of course, but only if they are good. How can you measure that? If they are playing with good players and if they can fit into the level of the good players. That's why, because of the level of the Premier League, England has so many talented players.

Gianfranco Zola

I have always followed Arsenal in the Premier League. At some points they were really good, but also had some difficulties like a lot of big clubs do.

Gervinho

We want hungry players, players who have a burning ambition to play in the Premier League and stay in the Premier League for years to come.

Scott Parker

Alan Hutton and I are always fighting the corner for Scottish football. It's a really tough league down here with a lot of quality players trying to get into the Premier League.
