Dhorasoo plays in a 'big' club, Paris-Saint-Germain, a club whose president gave the boot to the coach for no particular reason. There's always been a lot of pressure on this team since it's the only team of the capital.
Yes : there's only one team in Paris, when there are several in London (Tottenham, Wimbledon, Arsenal, Chelsea...), Liverpool (Everton), Manchester, etc...
The Paris-Saint-Germain season was disappointing this year, and Dhorasoo was more than once put the blame on. Some friends of mine, former colleagues, and more journalists insisted on the fact that there was another French midfield that had done much better : Johan Micoud, from Bremen. Alas alas.
The Spanish team was deprived of Guti.
The British team, well, you're probably right, I can't see who could have been left behind or who could replace Owen in a near future. The championship is stuffed with foreigners, it doesn't help.
Hargreaves is the only one to play abroad. I wonder how he is considered.
(By the way, his name is a problem for our oldest TV football host Thierry Roland : he wouldn't pronounce his name properly, at times it's Heargreaves, a few minutes later it's Hargraves, and most of the time, he calls him Heargraves, which would be kind of poetic if he only knew English a little).
