I always think two good barometers of how well the league is placed is:
1: performances in european games
2: former el players performances in the premier league etc
Bar kevin doyle and he had a very poor season last season, there has been few players who have left the El in recent years and made a decent job of playing in the epl or even championship.
Secondly el teams performances in europe over the last few years have improved but none the less fallen short. Last season drogs did well, shels did extremely well not that long ago.
But in summary, while i think the standard of the top teams in the el is very good, im not sure many of the players really would be good enough for a mid epl team, let alone international football.
