At the time of writing, we have
seen all but two of this year’s Premier League teams in action, with Manchester City
and Newcastle
United in action tonight. We are working our way through the alphabet and
have reached the letter "D". Slim pickings I am afraid but there are still a few
exciting players we can talk about.
Mousa Dembele is now in his second season with Spurs and he will hope
to be as influential in the Tottenham midfield as he was last season and
perhaps even more so, now that the landscape is changing around him. With Tom Huddlestone,
Jake Livermore and Clint Dempsey already departed and Scott Parker likely to
follow suit, Dembele will now be accompanied in the centre of the field by the
likes of Brazilian playmaker Paulinho and Etienne Capoue. The Belgian is big
and strong and gets through an enormous amount of work but Spurs fans will be
hoping he can weigh in with more goals, especially if Gareth Bale leaves the
club.
Another Belgian, another
midfielder and another great player - Kevin
De Bruyne is not a new Chelsea signing but he might as well be given that
his first season was spent out on loan at Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga. It
seems that Jose Mourinho likes the look of him and after notching 10 goals for
the German side last season, it seems the Blues have yet another goal scoring
midfielder on their hands. He is still
only 22 and already has 3 goals for the Belgian national team and his place in
the Chelsea starting line up for the opening day victory against Hull City
might have a few Fantasy Football managers checking out his value.
Edin Dzeko is a goal scorer. He struck 66 times in 111 appearances for
Wolfsburg and so far has 30 in 76 appearances for Man City. That’s almost 1 in
2 for City and many of those appearances came from the subs bench, so his goals
per on field minutes will be very high. Carlos Tevez has departed but Negredo
and Jovetic have arrived, whilst Sergio Aguero is still at The Etihad Stadium
so the competition for places is stronger than ever for a starting place in the
starting City eleven. If new City boss, Manuel Pellegrini gives the Bosnian
striker more pitch time, he could score an absolute hat full this season.
