Americans In the English Premier League (EPL) 2009-10 Season Review: Dempsey, Donovan, Howard, Hahnemann, Altidore, Spector, Guzan, and Holden
It was a generally a positive season for Americans playing in the English Premier League. Clint Dempsey once again was a major factor for Fulham who reached the Europa League final and avoiding relegation many weeks before the end of the season. Another player who was very successful was Landon Donovan who had a two month loan for Everton.
Tim Howard and Marcus Hahnemann has successful seasons as goalkeepers while Jonathan Spector and Jozy Altidore had up and down seasons. Stuart Holden joined Bolton in the winter transfer window and did show some potential with the small amount of matches he did play.
With the World Cup in June, it’s very likely that there would be a few more Americans making a move to the EPL for next season. Donovan is a likely possibility and Everton wanted to extend the loan but were ultimately denied by MLS. Below is a recap of each player on the 2009-10 season in the EPL.
Americans Abroad In The EPL Season Review
Clint Dempsey – Midfielder/Striker For Fulham
Dempsey had another great season for Fulham and is arguably the best outfield player ever to play in the Premier League (excluding Donovan until he returns on a permanent basis). He scored seven goals for Fulham which tied his total from last season. His most memorable goal of the season will be his Europa League strike against Juventus which clinched them a spot in the semifinals. Dempsey will likely stay with Fulham where he’s established himself and had a solid career.

Landon Donovan – Midfielder For Everton
Donovan was at Everton for two months and showed he’s capable of playing in Europe. After two disappointing spells in Germany, many had doubted if the American could play in the top European leagues. He responded by fitting in quickly with the club and becoming a fan favorite. His loan ended in March but speculation continues that he will join Everton by the start of the next EPL season.

Tim Howard – Goalkeeper for Everton
Howard had another solid season for Everton who just missed out on a Europa League spot. His form was down from previous seasons but he still remains a quality goalkeeper. He’s been a better goalkeeper for the USA and will be one of the leaders for the squad in South Africa. He is likely to stay at Everton for several years who should be challenging for a spot in Europe next season.

Marcus Hahnemann – Goalkeeper for Wolverhampton Wanderers
Hahnemann didn’t start the season as the main goalkeeper for Wolves but earned the job and performed well.
Jonathan Spector – Defender For West Ham United
Spector was healthy for most of the season and started 22 games for West Ham United who struggled and finished in 17th place. The American had no goals or assists and at times was exposed defensively. Spector is likely to stay with the club and has shown the ability to get forward and provide crosses into the box for the USA National Team.

Jozy Altidore – Striker For Hull City
Altidore joined Hull City on a season long loan from Villarreal in August 2009. He had a up and down season which ended on a down note. He struggled to score goals and one in the EPL and one in the Carling Cup. The American striker did have three assists and showed potential during his time his Hull. He’s still only 20 and has time to develop into a striker who consistently scores goal.
His season ended in late April when he head butted Alan Hutton during a match against Sunderland. Hutton threw the ball at Altidore and the American lost his temper which earned him a suspension for the last two matches of the season. It’s unknown whether Altidore will remain in England or return to Villarreal but it could hinge on his World Cup performance.

Stuart Holden – Midfielder for Bolton Wanderers
Holden joined Bolton over the winter transfer window and played in three matches for the club. He was sidelined for most of the season with a broken leg during a USA friendly against the Netherlands. While he only played a few matches, Holden showed signs of potential and is a rising star in the USA National Team. Bolton manager Owen Coyle has said very positive things about the American and he’s likely to have a decent shot to be in the starting line-up for Bolton next fall.
