I think it's commonly accepted the SPL is a lower standard than the EPL. However if you want to argue otherwise and fly in the face of public opinion based on the single example of Adam, go ahead.

I'm not planning on doing that because as you say it would be a bloody stupid and patently wrong argument. There are good players to be signed in the SPL and to argue otherwise is almost as silly. Some may look like world beaters there and not work out in the EPL but equally others could be very good players at the higher level. It's the same with every other league. Even if you sign players from better leagues such as the Eredivisie or Ligue 1 you might find they won't handle the step up or the change in pace or nature of the game when stepping up to the Premiership. Some might argue we just had the same issue with Makoun. Hell, you could even have a player who is suited to the premier league who will struggle to adapt to SPL football and look useless there.
A midfield of Albrighton, Davis, Jenas and N,Zogbia would be ideal
