Top five flops of the 2010-2011 English Premier League season (Part 2)
After elaborating on the failures that were http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Joe-Cole-c18694 in the 2010-2011 English Premier League season, it is time to take a look at the rest of the flops in this featured edition of the top five flops of the 2010-2011
Premier League season...
Edin Dzeko
Manchester City’s new January transfer window signing was brought in to keep http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carlos-c8346
Tevez got injured in the latter stages of the Premier League season.
City paid a whopping 27 million pound fee for their Bosnian forward but this is somewhat understandable given that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 had already deteriorated the January transfer window by buying a lamppost for 35 million pounds. Nonetheless,
Dzeko went onto become anonymous in the English Premier League as he found it hard to adapt to the English game. In the end, Dzeko made 15 league appearances and scored two goals for the men who claimed to be contenders for the Premier League trophy.

Seldom has a man earned such legendary status in football folklore amongst rival fans. Playing for Tottenham, Gomes proved to be a true Jekyll and Hyde in the 2010-2011 Premier League season. Tottenham were doing pretty well till
January but then their dip in form was further compounded by Gomes’ errors. Actually errors would be too little of a word to describe what Gomes did against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 Madrid at home when he killed off his team’s chances of progressing to the UEFA Champions League
semi-finals by helping Ronaldo’s long range effort towards the goal.
However this wasn’t the end of it for the Brazilian national. Gomes can take the credit for keeping the English Premier League title race alive as he once again assisted Frank Lampard’s efforts to score against Tottenham when
Spurs played http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 at Stamford Bridge. It would be harsh to say that Gomes was a flop, justice would be held firmly in the fact that he was an utter buffoon who needs to be told that he is no longer capable of playing for Tottenham.
Andrey Arshavin
Overdose of Russian vodka? Maybe but Arshavin’s failure to lead Arsenal in the 2010-2011 Premier League season will live long in memory of both his supporters as well as his critics. The time is now running out for the former Zenit
Saint Petersburg player who was seen as one of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Samir-Nasri-c32360 and Cesc Fabregas through
recurring injuries in the 2010-2011 season.
In the end, Wenger had to leap to his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Defence-c38904 but how can someone who has no defence of his own defend someone who has been anonymous when it comes to stepping up to the podium for Arsenal. Many think that Arshavin has already
played his last game for Arsenal in the English Premier League and that his manager would dump him if given the option to make some cash through the process, only to waste it on another winger.
