I thought the reference was to where they played more so than their nationality. WSW have signed a bloke with La Liga experience who has played against some of the top teams in the world and scored in the last 12 months or so against them. Admittedly he's not banging in goals like Messi - but if he's fit the blokes going to own this league.

WSW signed a guy who had recent experience against La Liga sides and more goals in the last year against them than Riera did. He was a huge marquee flop.

Riera has also only had TWO seasons in his his glamorous career where he has broken double figures and one of them was in the 2nd div. Take those two double figure years out and he has 50 career goals in 250 appearances. We'd be slating our management if we signed this bloke on $1m a year or whatever it's taken to get him to sign here.

Berisha was playing intermittently and awfully in 2.Bundesliga, Fornaroli was playing Uruguayan Primera and had hugely unsuccessful spells in Italy, Spain, Argentina and Brazil. Going back to before those two, Van Dijk was playing in Dutch 2nd Div scoring once every four games, half as efficient as the goal every other game he had over four seasons in Australia.

I don't think where they play is relevant.
