Average time a player spends with a team in the Prem

[evertony]

I know there's some ace statto's on here, and in light of all the furore over the transfer window and how it gets people worked up I wondered what the average length of time is that a first eleven player stays at a club in the Premiership, how Everton players compared and how Premiership players compare to La Liga, Serie A and the Bundesliga?
I was thinking how transient players are whilst fans are for the long term.
I reckon @davek could organise a decent chart, pie or otherwise.

Good to see us coming out on top with 3.67 years. Does go to prove that you can't look to build a squad around a core players though unless you're Bayern, Barca or Real Madrid.

Cheers Esk....for some reason that link won't open for me which is bloody frustrating as I reckon it's exactly what I was looking for.

That was exactly my thought, and why I reckon loaning players as to buying them has real value.
