Juan Mata, Cesc Fabregas... All total Premier League flops of course.
I'm sure Pele and Maradona would have been useless too.
It's this kind of train of thought that has a big part to blame on the state of the English National side.

Koeman is still insisting Schneiderlin will stay but is also keen on bringing Clasie to the Premier League.
