Most improved players in the English Premier League – Clint Dempsey, Nani and Van Persie (Part 2)
After shedding some light on the improvements that were showcased by Clint Dempsey and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Brunt in the 2010-2011 Premier League season for Fulham and West Bromwich Albion respectively, it is now time to look at the rest of the
players on this list of most improved footballers in the English Premier League...
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Peter-Odemwingie-c29794
The West Bromwich Albion striker was the star of Roy Hodgson’s team throughout the season. He proved himself in the English Premier League and was a breath of fresh air as he competed with the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carlos-c8346
Tevez and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ashley-Young-c6813. Nonetheless, the Nigerian forward showed that he was willing to work hard for his goals.
Odemwingie’s movement was a sight to behold for the neutrals as he scored with both his feet in the 2010-2011 Premier League season for West Bromwich Albion. The start of the Premier League was not an easy one for Peter who had
to adapt to a change of surroundings as well as the footballing culture as he was signed by West Bromwich Albion from Lokomotiv Moscow in the summer transfer window of 2010.
The prolific goal scorer was unable to shine in Russian football and as a result he became a victim of extreme racial abuse from the Russian fans who recently targeted http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-Carlos-c31317 with the same kind of behaviour. For West Bromwich
Albion, Odemwingie was a consistent goal scorer throughout their Premier League campaign.
He kept up his form when others at the club started to falter once http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Di Matteo was replaced by Roy Hodgson. In total, Odemwingie scored 15 goals which is more than Wayne Rooney’s tally for the 2010-2011 Premier League season.
This 15 goal tally is also an improvement on the 7 goals that he managed to net for Lokomotiv Moscow in 2009.
Charlie Adam
Whilst Blackpool’s season ended in a massive disappointment with relegation after they lost their last league encounter against Manchester United at Old Trafford, Charlie Adam was probably the highlight of their season. The Scottish
playmaker seemed like a sure shot candidate for departure from Bloomfield Road in the January transfer window when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 came calling for him but he decided to stay at Blackpool and help them in their efforts to retain a Premier League place for another
season.
Nonetheless, after impressing for Blackpool in the Championship in the 2009-2010 season, Adam improved massively in the English Premier League whilst playing against superior set of players. His long passes from the centre of the
field were a silver lining in Blackpool’s disappointing season.
In http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 scored in the 2010-2011 Premier League season. In addition to this, he also managed to contribute
with 9 assists, a tally which is more than http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rafael-c30339 Van der Vaart at Tottenham Hotspur.
