This season Olivier Giroud has scored seven goals in 12 games in the Premier League, which is pretty good going. Only a few players have managed to score more, but whether or not he can do that for the entire season is yet to be seen. So, naturally, Arsenal have found themselves linked with numerous forwards, the latest of which is Romania international Ciprian Marica, who currently plies his trade for Getafe.
La Liga is often rich with players that perhaps the common football fan hasn't heard of but could make a massive impact in the Premier League should they choose to move. I'm picking players which some of you may not have heard of because, as with the case of Michu, it's important for us and clubs to look beyond the big three Spanish sides. This enables managers to find players that will benefit their club without having to break the bank to get them. The players I'm going to talk about have been very good this season for their respective clubs and have consistently churned out impressive performances.
At the age of 28 it is fair to say that Roberto Soldado has had to battle to gain the recognition that he deserves as one of the best strikers in Europe. After joining Real Madrid at the age of 15 he has not had an easy ride to the top and was never really given a chance at the historic club. But can Tottenham get the best out of him and make a genuine title challenge?
When Barcelona travelled over to Madrid on Saturday night to play Getafe, nobody was expecting the 90 minutes that followed. Getafe were languishing in 16th position going into the game with La Liga’s all-conquering juggernauts who were eighteen points ahead in 2nd position.
