Some claim it is the most exciting league in the world. This is arguable, but I think the flair, skills and flavour in the European leagues are best suited to African players. Take a look at Amokachi's misfortune at Everton, look at Kanu's dwindling performance with Arsenal and the ditching of Taribo West by Derby. Compare this with the rising profile of young African players in Italy, France, Germany and Belgium and you will see what I mean. The British game is a case of brute force that does not allow for skill to be properly exhibited.
African players reach the highest state of creativity and skill with the ball.
Their productivity is best seen when they are allowed to showcase their skills rather than being confined. I also agree that the international team calendar works against them. With all the travelling they have to do, you would need to be a superman to quickly adjust between rainy, wet and cold Britain and hot Africa and give your very best. It's not about African players' inability to adapt to a different style of play in England but the prospect of rotting in a system that has not been successful in the last decade. I do agree with the need to streamline the football calendar to allow some of these players to play for their country.
