i suppose CR7, bergkamp, fowler, yorke, giggs, nistelrooy, owen, drogba, henry, shearer, rooney were all superstars in their own abilities. the last decade has seen messi and CR7 rise to such proportions taking the whole sheen alongwith them to la liga. portugal being close to spain and argentina having spanish as official language were one among many reasons for those two; of course owen and beckham did end up in real madrid, possible because rm being a constant CL favorite. if a puskas, platini, cruyff, baggio, gullit, vanbasten comes up tomorrow and they start of in epl, i think they could be superstars here. epl having more than 2-3 teams vying for the cup, foreign money pouring in, the revenue generated and top managers employed here, now more than ever i believe epl will see the rise of a new superstar in the next 5 years.
