Sure, but look at the ridiculous premium English teams pay for the same players.
So sure, England can compete in terms of wages more up and down the table, but the transfer fees price-out most higher end players.
Look at a team like Stoke who finally sacked up and paid for some top-end talent and its gotten them to 7th.
