Daily News & Analysis of the English Premier League

Heinze is a serviceable defender but nearly all the best clubs in the world have a player just like him on their team. He's an interchangeable piece to any team who aspires to win the Champions League and their own domestic league.
Robben is, admittedly, a much more talented (and younger) player than Heinze. Still, he's not "world-class" yet and a major part of that is he's never healthy. I'm sorry; you can't be considered one of the best players in the world if you're not consistently in the lineup.

But the general premise of your article is pretty spot on. I think that the English game doesn't suit some players, and simply because some guys fit in Spain better than England (like Freddie Kanoute) doesn't automatically mean the PL is so much tougher than LaLiga as some loudmouths on the radio claim. I could in fact make the argument about a few fairly obscure players who did well and held down first team spots in the EPL but came to MLS and hardly ever got a game. It's difficult to compare leagues, because in many ways they are like comparing apples to oranges. (I'll have a blog on this point later this week)

Since then, Heinze has been plagued by injuries and hasn't been the same since, but I would consider him world-class based on his overall career.
