Genuine Question, what % of players playing in the Spainish league qualify to play for Spa

in?

Oh and I've thought for years that there is a reason so many non england internationals play over here, but we've currently got none (ex Beckham) playing overseas.

In fact, how many english players have played abroad in the last 20 years?

It can't just be the prem wage structure that keeps them here, its not like we get regular stories about Fat Frank turning down Real due to his Loyalty to Chelsea('s wage structure).

Could it be these teams are not interested in the england internationals as they are not good enough?

Or could it be that these players are not interested in taking the risk of playing abroad to improve their game as they earn enough, and are adulated enough where they are?
