Kos would start for all of those teams, Özil was a starter for Real Madrid for 3 years, and Alexis was Barcelona's best player last season. I'd wager that Walcott would play quite a bit for most teams as well, and so would Ramsey.
Ozil was sold and Real won the CL the following season. Ozil's form since moving would not be good enough for any top team. Alexis is great and I love the bastard, but they just went and sold him, as well. Don't think they're gonna miss him too much, either. The fact that both were sold should tell you something, no? That both teams did not class either as fundamental players.
Walcott would be a great super sub, but Ramsey wouldn't start for either. In fact, neither team employs a gung ho midfielder like Ramsey for him to be of any use to them. Regardless, Ramsey is not better than Rakitic, Iniesta, Kroos, Modric, James, Gotze, Lahm, Alonso or Schweinsteiger.
Benatia, Pepe, Varane and perhaps even Boateng are all better than Koscielny. Even then it's negligible either way.
