The premier league is the best league in the world. A lot of things are required for all the players to perform up to par. It is not an easy task for foreign players to come into this fast-paced football league and later be named the best player of the season or a top goal-scorer. However, a lot of players ventured into the league and made a name for themselves with goals galore, a lot of victories as well as a full trophy cabinet. Some ended up being called legends walking away with a lot of accolades from the Queen as well as the media. On the other hand, as much as some players are able to sustain all the pressure and requirement of this competitive football league, some of them have fallen apart on the course.
Michu
Who still remember Michu? The Swansea once prolific striker with his trademark celebration whereby he holds his hand at his ear while running down the pitch. Michu signed for Swansea in 2013 for 2 million pounds. He quickly adapted to the English Premier league bagging 18 goals in his first season.
Other top-flight teams in England were after his services because of his pace, and eye for the goal. Things got even better for the Spanish player when a national team call-up came on the table and that led to his downfall.
Robinho
In the summer of 2008, Manchester City football club announced the Brazilian international, Robinho as their new player. After signing from Real Madrid to Manchester City Robinho secured 14 Premier League goals in his first season. The following season he could only manage to bag one goal and he fell under the pecking orders of his coach Roberto Mancini. Robinho’s destination in his football career was his boyhood club Santos.
Mido
Strong, tall and also good in the air, no wonder why Mido made it to the Premier League and most top online casino gamblers always place bets on him. The Egyptian rose to become one of the best strikers during his spell at Ajax and Marseille. On his opening season, Mido scored 11 goals in 27 appearances something which was not bad for a bench-warmer. However, Mido failed to keep that momentum when he returned to White Hart lane managing 3 goals only.
