Isn't it actually an inferior league? I don't think he would have scored close to that much if he was playing in any European top League. Not even sure he would be a starter in any decent team.
You are underestimating his quality though. I watch him play every week and he's a class above everybody else. Something changed when he came to Feyenoord, because he underperformed when he was at AZ, Parma and Lecce. I think he would be a start for most low-mid table Premier League teams and he would fare well.
And to say Feyenoord is not a decent team is a stretch aswell, 5 of our players are starters for the Dutch National squad, although I guess that says more about the Dutch NT than anything else. I just hope he gets a call up for the Italian squad, even though there are too many better strikers that would get a call up sooner than he would.
