Yeah there's not been as much compared to the countries you mentioned probably due to the reason they don't settle.

 

Quick look on Wikipedia there:

 

In Scotland we've had Efrain Juarez, Eduaorda Herrera and Carlos Pena who all came with big pedigrees and were disasters, the latter you can probably write-off as he was an alcoholic and ended up in rehab lol!

 

In the EPL the list is as follows:

 

Pablo Barrera - West Ham Utd

Jared Borgetti - Bolton

Nery Castillo - Man City

Giovanni Dos Santos - Spurs

Guillermo Franco - West Ham

Javier Hernandez - Man Utd/West Ham

Raul Jimenez - Wolves

Miguel Layin - Watford

Carlos Salcido - Fulham

Carlos Vela - Arsenal

 

A few of the above went on to have half-decent careers elsewhere but 80% of that list or greater were disasterous signings.

Jimenez is a decent shout.  Vela as much as a good player didn't do it at all at Arsenal.

 

There will always be a few exceptions but in the main Mexican players seem to bomb in the UK by and large for some reason.

Pablo Barrera - West Ham

Jared Borgetti - Bolton

Nery Castillo - Man City 

Giovani Dos Santos - Spurs

Guillermo Franco - West Ham

Javier Hernández - West Ham/ Man u

Raul Jimenez - Wolves

Miguel Layún - Watford

Carlos Salcido - Fulham

Carlos Vela - Arsenal/West Brom

 

Surprisingly there has only ever been 10 Mexican players in the premier league.

Almost the same.  This should illustrate the difference for you.

They also owned Texas and huge swaths of the southwestern United States.

I just can't get over the fact that some club sent an alcoholic player to Scotland!  What did they reasonably think was going to happen there then ?

I do fear that we've now reached the point of anyone and everyone basically costing a ludicrous amount.
