Top twelve players who should seek a move away from their clubs – English Premier League (Part 4)
After explaining and discussing as to why http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 and Manchester City respectively, it is now time to continue this list of top ten players who should seek a move away from
their clubs in the summer transfer window of 2011...
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jermain-Defoe-c18359
Last season was expected to be a very successful season for a striker like Jermain Defoe at Tottenham Hotspur. The English forward must’ve been pretty excited when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rafael-c30339 Van der Vaart arrived at the White Hart Lane stadium but
it soon appeared that both Defoe and Van der Vaart were incompatible in the setup that Harry Redknapp wanted to play with Tottenham.
The former West Ham United manager opted to play a 4-4-1-1 formation which required a player like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Peter-Crouch-c29741 up front for the London club. With Crouch starting majority of the Premier League games, Defoe’s season went downhill
right from the start of the 2010-2011 Premier League campaign.
When Defoe was fit, he was on the bench and on the few occasions that he did play for Spurs, the former West Ham United striker failed to deliver despite having the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aaron-Lennon-c3062 servicing
him from the midfield region. In the UEFA Champions League, Defoe was left out of Redknapp’s plans as Tottenham progressed to the quarterfinals of the competition only to lose out to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 Madrid.
Now with the 2012 European Championships approaching thick and fast for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749, Defoe would want to play regular first team football something that won’t be available at the White Hart Lane stadium given that Harry Redknapp is
much inclined to use Peter Crouch as his first choice striker. Thus this suggests that Defoe should maybe call it a day in London and move to a club where he is allowed to start regularly when fit in order to cement his national team credentials.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Salomon-Kalou-c32266
Kalou was making all kinds of noises in the final couple of months of the 2010-2011 Premier League season where he seldom got a play a part especially after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-c13609 Torres’ arrival at Chelsea in the January transfer window. The
Ivory Coast striker has shown impressive goal scoring instincts during his time at Stamford Bridge but his inconsistency has been the main reason of his relegation down the pecking order at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786.
Kalou’s well wishers say that the speedy striker has suffered due to the absence of first team football. If that is the case then Kalou should definitely reconsider his options in the light of the current situation Chelsea. Currently
Kalou is the fourth choice favourite for Chelsea after Torres, Drogba and Anelka in the offensive department.
It is expected that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-Sturridge-c10076 will make a return from his loan move to Chelsea in the 2011-2012 season and given that fact that he had a very good season with Bolton Wanderers last time around, Kalou might even be fifth
choice if worst comes to worst. The 25 year old striker might do well in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 where he will get regular football but a move away from Chelsea means that he will have to take a pay cut.
