Some of the best imports to come to the A League (who weren't even necessarily marquees) never played in the EPL.....Broich, Berisha, Hernandez, Janko, Carrusca, Patrick Zwaanzjik (sorry for the spelling) etc.
Either we get someone who is still in their prime or forget about it, very rarely has a marquee in their mid-30's been a success in the A League.
Its because finding a broich, berisha etc isnt that easy. For every one of those there has been a number a absolute bombs.
De Groot, Drovandi, Hakansson. And they are just some of the Jets ones.
Even the most successful team in A-league, Victory, have had terrible ones. Riccardinho, Leandro Love, Jonathan Bru (and he was one of Anges, the master!)

Im just saying its all well and good to say go and find these guys, but they obviously aren't that easy to find and to get them to perform.
