Nice correlation. The more spectacle for the biggest crowds.

If the Barclays Premier League was a classroom:

1. LIVERPOOL is a child who is very proud of the academic
achievements of his grandfather.

2. MANCHESTER UNITED is a boy
who just performs in the final exams and tops the class.

3. MANCHESTER CITY is a spoilt child who spends money on expensive books but is never interested in reading them.

4. ARSENAL is a boy who tries hard throughout the year but fails to succeed.

5. TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR is a girl
who gets decent marks and her tests translates to a pass in final exams.

6. CHELSEA is a boy who fails and blames his teachers then his family finds a new teacher for him every year.

But see, I'm not saying Basel/Swiss league players are useless, but they're almost destined to fail at top clubs, some can't even make it at mid table clubs. So it's weird to me when top club (Utd.) fans want them.

As for the players you mentioned:
Caicedo - went through Lazio and Levante before ending up in Moscow.
Atouba - Hamburg, Ajax.
Petric - pre-Klopp BVB, Hamburg, Fulham.
Rakitic - Schalke, Sevilla

So far only Shaqira made it to a top club and we'll see where he goes from here, but I'm certain he won't become a regular any time soon. He'll rather play less under Pep.
Dunno about Sommer though, haven't watched him closely. I think we're also interested in signing him.
You are totally right. A sustainable success of a Basel player in a big team is still something we have to witness. I have good hope for Shaqiri, but he is playing in the best team in the world this season, and still manages to impress his world. I don't think he disappointed so far. He will be playing more with Kroos being injured, maybe as soon as in two weeks in the CL.

Atouba, what a flop
What ? He ripped Liverpool a new asshole in 2002.

I was gonna make a joke about how this would fit in in my hotmail inbox from 1998 or something.

But then City wouldn't even be on the list :p

SSN: Next we'll be live to Nyon to find out who Chelsea will face in the last 4.

Think they're missing some information there lol.

Edit: They're completely glossing over the CL draw hahahahaha.

The Jesus told Papiss he's a great player as soon as the match ended.

Papiss to Benfica next season. He pulled the same stunt with Ola John.
