English league is one of the best in the world, he's won a European Cup at liverpool as well as loads of domestic trophies, and England regular.
Really dont see why he 'has' to move abroad to prove he's a great player. People should have more respect for the fact that he's sticking with his local club.
Personally he's one of my most disliked players in the league, but this loyalty is good in todays football world. (Fair enough £100k a week helps)
