EPL Players Who Deserve a Better Club


Year after year players leave their clubs in search of new ones to prove themselves and to earn glory. Some make the right choices by selecting the right clubs, some don’t. As we are in the final quarter of the season and the transfer window will open soon after the end of the season, let’s have a look at some players who have proved themselves and deserve a better club (no particular order):

Asmir Begovic:

Over the years, Britannia Stadium has always been a difficult place to visit for almost every team. This is because of the amazing defense Stoke City has been producing and Asmir Begovic is one of those Gems. The Goal-Keeper is one of the outstanding keepers in the Premier League and has kept many Clean Sheets this season. Begovic is on the radar of Manchester United as Substitute keeper Anders Lindegaard seems unhappy by the role and the games he is getting. A move to a big club like United or any other top club will make him even better than what he is now.


Rickie Lambert:

The Southampton star who has been with club for four years now is one of the best strikers in the Premier League. The Saints number 7 has not missed a single penalty for the club yet scoring all the 31 he has taken, and missed just once out of the 48 penalties he has taken in his career. With his penalty taking, physical appearance and style of play, he is considered as the next Matt Le Tissier, the Southampton legend. Playing at a top club is something for him to regret about, but he seems quite happy at Southampton. Lambert is now 31 years old and has a couple of years more in him, might get a few offers in the summer from some of the big clubs.


Ryan Shawcross:

Shawcross who began his career at Manchester United hardly got any time to play first team football with the likes of Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Wes Brown miles ahead of him. He was certainly a developing player and the loan spell to Stoke City was the turning point when they managed to sign him for £1m later. Shawcross had formed a good pair with Faye and is also now playing good with Robert Huth. As mentioned earlier that a visit to Britannia Stadium is always difficult for every team, it is not only Begovic but the brilliant defenders they have got like Shawcross. A return to Manchester United could be possible as both Vidic and Ferdinand might retire soon.


Michu:

What a steal that was from Swansea, absolute bargain, I need not write much about the lad, we all have seen him play and score those beautiful goals, and most of us also have him in our FPL. The £2m Spaniard has proved his worth game after game and has been a phenomenon in his debut season. Many clubs were in contact with Swansea in January, but they somehow managed to extend his contract for another 4 years. He is surely one of those players who deserve a better club.


Leighton Baines:

The Everton Left-Back has been extremely good for the second consecutive season now with his amazing defending as well the assists and few goals that he has got. Baines was earlier linked with a move to Manchester United, but after the arrival of Alex Buttner, the move looks highly unlikely. Many top clubs are after the English international, and Baines is certainly one of those players who can play in the big games in Europe.


Marouane Fellaini:

Another Evertonian who has been outstanding throughout the season, one of the best DLP’s in the Premier League. Everton won’t make it to the Champions League as they face a very tough competition with the Blues, Gunners and Spurs. Fellaini has the potential to play in big games and has proved this year against the top clubs, and would certainly do well against the European top clubs. Quite a few clubs are chasing the Evertonian beast; Everton will surely take a huge sum for him.


Luis Suarez:

After all the criticism he has got, whether the diving, racially abusing etc., but at the end of the day you just can’t stop praising him for his skills and the goals he has scored for Liverpool. The Uruguayan international is now the top scorer in the premier league and the lad surely deserves to play in the Champions League. Liverpool look unlikely to qualify for the Champions League next season and Suarez was recently linked with a move to Bayern Munich. Suarez would certainly do well under Pep Guardiola considering their way of attacking and the pace they have got.
