Pippen, what makes you so sure that a player who is outstanding in the Bundesliga is just average in the Premier League? I wouldn't consider Degen and Voronin outstanding, but good squad players back then. We have Skrtel, Agger, Aurelio and many others who do come from ourself England, Spain, Italy, and they were class.
I admit that the quality of the Bundesliga is not as high as the Premier League, but the point you are bringing to me there? IF Dzeko comes here and he gets his chance then I don't see how he might not work. Yossi was another case. Outstanding in a side witih average players in Wolfsburg, then what can you expect with players like Gerrard, Alonso feeding balls to you? They are in a different world and it will definitely lift your standards.
This guy is top scorer in the Bundesliga (Voronin nowhere to be seen among the top in the scoring charts), top scorer in World Cup qualifiers, which speaks volumes about the lad's ability.
I don't see how can you link the Bundesliga to crap players in the Premier League because there are also many factors, like ability to adapt in a different country and so on.
