Cabaye 39 apps 1 goal - went to Palace
Cisse 34 apps for Shendong Luneng
Sisoko 120apps for Spurs (3 goals) (fair point)
Ba 33 apps for Chelsea... went to Turkey
But if you had listened to Newcastle fans at the time they were all going to be superstars. "World Class" no doubt
Newcastle are very good at building up mediocre players because they stand out in consistently poor teams. Mike sells them on at a huge profit and they fizzle out when other clubs realise it.
St. Maximan is just another in the line
Ba won things at Chelsea and Cabaye did with PSG. Throw in Wijnaldum who went same season as Sissoko and has won the prem and CL I'm not sure that's always necessarily true.
I get the point you are trying to make though.
Edit - Ba didn't win anything at Chelsea.
