Of course they do. The fact that a lot of foreign players play in the Premier league works against us if anything. It means that foreign players understand how the game is played in England, where as our players don't understand how that game is played in other countries.
Experience in other leagues will only benefit players because they understand the differences in how the game is played, and our players are not experienced in other leagues. All of the foreign players in the premier league understand how the English game of football is played and this experience makes them more prepared when they face our international team.
For example, if we played Spain, they would have three or four players (Reina, Fabregas, Torres, etc) who have experienced the current English style of play. But what players do England have who understand the Spanish game? Woodgate? Owen? They wont play for England again, we have no current players experienced in the Spanish style of football.
And I'm being generous by using Spain as an example, at least we've had two or three players over there in the past decade. How many players do we have that understand the Italian Game? The Argentine game? The Brazilian game? The German game? The French game? None! That's how many.
All we are doing by having so many foreign players in the English leagues is allowing them to adapt to our style of play. We don't adapt to theirs.
We only understand the English style of football, and I see that as our biggest weakness. Other countries disperse their players across the globe, and the experience pays off. English players are stuck in England.
