6) Charlie Adam (Blackpool)
Perhaps the biggest success story so far this season has been the arrival of Blackpool, who is playing in the top flight since 1971.
This sudden rise of Ian Holloway’s side is largely due to the presence of the captain, Charlie Adam, who has been creative to an inspirational level for the Tangerines.
The 25-year old has scored 3 goals and has provided four assists in his debut season in the Premier League. The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314 man has been the source of inspiration for the Blackpool side and is one of the major reasons for Blackpool’s impressive season
so far.
The Tangerines are currently 8th in the Premier League and for now, have no reason to worry about a relegation fight as long as Charlie Adam carries on the great form of the first half of the season.
5) Stuart Holden (Bolton)
The American’s arrival at Bolton Wanderers was not headline news as Owen Coyle signed him very discreetly from the MLS side, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Houston-Dynamo-c39542. Since his arrival at Bolton, Stuart Holden has become a major part in Owen Coyle’s plans and has missed just two
games for Bolton so far this season.
The attacking midfield role has suited the U.S. international and his performances have been excellent. The recent revival of Swedish striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Johan-Elmander-c18782, can also be largely attributed to the great form of Stuart Holden.
The 25-year old American hasn’t struggled in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 at all and is becoming the heart and soul of the Bolton midfield.
Bolton are currently 6th in the Premier League and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Stuart-Holden-c34260 has been one of the reason of such a successful 1st half of the season under Owen Coyle.
4) Marc Albrighton (Aston Villa)
When http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/James-Milner-c17706 left Aston Villa for Manchester City, fans were worried if such a major void could ever be filled by anyone.
On the first day of the new season, 21-year old Marc Albrighton made his Premier League entrance and hasn’t looked back ever since. Villa’s season so far has been nothing but a major success, but the form of Marc Albrighton has been the only bright light
in a hopeless campaign.
After deploying http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Houllier has deployed Albrighton in the left side and the youngster has stamped his authority in that position.
The youngster's excellent crossing has been a menace for Premier League sides and after scoring 4 goals and 4 assists in 15 games, Albrighton is slowly becoming a truly great asset for Aston Villa.
Even if Aston Villa is bound for a dreadful season this time, the same can’t be said for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marc-Albrighton-c23470.
3) Mauroane Chamakh (Arsenal)
The Moroccan’s arrival at the Emirates Stadium had been on the cards for a long time and Chamakh finally signed for Arsenal this summer from the French side, Bourdeaux, after his contract expired.
Chamakh was thought to find first team opportunities hard to come by owing to the presence of Robin Van Persie and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nicklas-Bendtner-c27726, but after Van Persie’s continued injury worries, Chamakh has been a regular fix at Arsenal and he hasn’t disappointed the
fans and Arsene Wenger at all.
Scoring 7 goals in the league so far is a pretty respectable total and his great team work is reflected on his 5 assists. Being physically good, Chamakh easily holds the ball pretty well and has become a vital part in Arsene Wenger's push for a title assault.
However, the slow return of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 means that Chamakh’s starting place in the team might be in danger but he will carry on playing a huge role in the Arsenal side that is hopeful to win the Premier League after a 5-year title drought.
