Premier League Preview: Part Two
so here it is, part two of my premier league preview. no demand as far as something introductions, let’s get right to it.
10. West Ham United
Additions: Scott Parker ( Newcastle ), Julien Faubert ( Bordeaux ), Richard Wright (Everton), Craig Bellamy ( Liverpool ), Freddie Ljungberg (Arsenal).
Losses: Paul Konchesky (Fulham), Nigel Reo-Coker (Aston Villa), Tyrone Mears (Derby), Yossi Benayoun (Liverpool), Marlon Harewood (Aston Villa)
Some may question my placing West Ham this high, but if they keep Carlos Tevez, they’ll be up here come May. If Tevez does end up going to Manchester United, then scrap this ranking and put them at 14th or 15th. Besides Tevez, the most important player for the Hammers is Robert Green. Green singled handedly kept Arsenal and Manchester United from scoring in two games during the stretch run at the end that kept West Ham in the Premier League. Besides Tevez, the Hammers have Craig Bellamy and Bobby Zamora, who would make for a decent attacking pair. New signings Scott Parker, Julien Faubert, and Freddie Ljungberg will make for an exciting midfield. Injuries could be a concern for West Ham, as Faubert and Parker are currently injured and Ljungberg was injured much of last season. Luis Boa Morte adds a scoring punch on the wing. Defense needs more production from troubled talent Anton Ferdinand, but Lucas Neill and Matthew Upson are both solid. Like I said earlier, if Tevez makes his reported 30 million pound move to Man U, just forget everything I just said. Blackburn, Aston Villa, and Reading are two teams I would certainly place above a Tevez-free WHU.
9. Bolton
Additions: Gavin McCann (Aston Villa), Jlloyd Samuel (Aston Villa), Gerald Cid (Bordeaux), Blerim Dzemaili (FC Zurich), Zoltan 
Harsanyi (FC Senec), Danny Guthrie (Liverpool, season-long loan), Mikel Alonso (Real Socieded)
Losses: Tal Ben Haim ( Chelsea ), Henrik Pedersen (released), Quinton Fortune (released), David Thompson (released), Cesar Martin (released)
Bolton is another squad that could plummet in the rankings if their highly regarded striker ditches them for a Champions League team. Nicolas Anelka has been linked everywhere from a return moves to Arsenal or Real Madrid, or a switch to recovering powerhouse Juventus. Bolton ’s chances of gaining a UEFA Cup spot will rely heavily on whether or not Anelka will commit to the club. Kevin Davies and El-Hadji Diouf are reliable in a supporting role, but neither could carry the scoring load. The strength of Bolton ’s squad lies in their midfield led by the captain, Kevin Nolan. Supporting Nolan are veterans Ivan Campo, Gary Speed, and new signee Gavin full movie download McCann. Although they may be getting up there in age, these guys allow Bolton to control the pace of the game. The defense was hurt by the loss of Israeli international Tal Ben Haim, but Nicky Hunt, Abdoulaye Meite, and Abdoulaye Faye are solid contributors. Look for Bolton to fall somewhat off their pace from last season, but if Anelka stays, this squad will still be in the running for a UEFA Cup spot in the spring. If Anelka leaves?well, for Bolton ’s sake, let’s hope he doesn’t leave.
8. Evert
