The Premier League season is just around the corner. After the 2011 EPL Season offered us 1,063 goals in 380 matches, what is there to expect? The answer is a lot. After a tight finish to the race for the Golden Boot, Dimitar Berbatov and Carlos Tevez finished atop the standing with 20 a piece. Not far behind trailed Robin van Persie with 18. So that brings us to our question, who will lead the pack next season to the boot?
Joint Premier League Golden Boot winner. After a spectacular goalscoring season, many uneducated fans would assume he would be in the running for a second title. However, with the emergence of Mexican star striker, Javier Hernandez, and an in form Wayne Rooney, the outlook for Berbatov is minimal playing time at best.
Carlos Tevez has a knack for scoring goals..you have to admit that. Much like Berbatov though, his goalscoring future is not bright...for the Premier League at least. Many trade rumors have been circling around the Argentine striker. He was quoted as saying, "I'm never going back to Manchester..." So I wouldn't place my money on Tevez being re-crowned.
The Dutchman provided 18 goals last season..he only played in 25 of 38 games. Pretty efficient scoring. Placing your bets on van Persie seems like a logical decision. His only problem is the injury bug. His entire career has been plagued by injury. Barring no injury, van Persie has great chances to be top scorer of the league.
Who else?
Of course the leading scorers of the league have to be taken into account, who else is there? Many names can be thrown around including Wayne Rooney, Javier Hernandez, Didier Drogba, Peter Odemwingie, and many others. Of course there will be the dark horse. Which goalscorer will come out of nowhere to shock the league?
