It's a bunch of supporters that highly enjoys booing their own players, even when they're winning... I think you can expect it to get nasty.

But Cesc Fabregas is (was) an icon, whereas Van Persie was only a favoured personnel.

Eh he'll probably get lots of boos and people writing strongly worded emails from their three grand private box

Especially if he goes to Chelsea

I had to write the report for Kagawa under "players to watch" for the WC thread, hardest fucking thing ive ever had to do given how middling and disappointing he is. Turns out hes just as bad for his country, but Japan isnt awash with huge names to put on that list. I think I used the word "potential" 10 times.

If its true he wanted to come to Arsenal and they backed off he should get the reception he deserves, which is the same one Ronaldo gets when he comes back to OT, a standing ovation. Players moving to their dream club when its already been established that it is their dream and not some opportunistic money/title grab should be given respect, especially when they have given so much service to their clubs.

Cesc is an Arsenal hero.

Still need to make England's profile thingy

Which 3 would you have in players to watch? I'm thinking Rooney, Sterling and Gerrard. Gerrard because I think there's a chance he'll be exposed as not really being a fantastic DM against top quality opposition. Then again, I'm not sure Sterling will even play much. Rooney, Sturridge and Gerrard maybe?

He's actually pretty good for his country. The Kagawa the plays for Japan and played for Dortmund is different from United Kagawa.

I honestly dont think Roy plans to play Sterling, yesterday cant have helped his cause even if it was a joke Red, he clearly thinks he is unreliable.

Of the players that will start Rooney, Sturridge and Gerrard would be my bets, maybe Barkley but I dont see him playing and Ox is injured now.

Trying to avoid making it all about attackers though :p

They probably are the most intriguing players though, unless Raheem barely plays. Don't expect Barkley or Ox to play much, or at all in the latter's case.

Sturridge, Lallana and Shaw maybe?

Though I think Sterling would be more of a one to watch than Lallana, I don't see him starting.

"Big players are always good signings," Torres told Marca. "We know Cesc, he knows the division and was always among the top players when he was at Arsenal. He likes to play good football and will offer ball control, cutting edge, and goals.

"If he's made to feel important, like a leader - like when he was at Arsenal - he can drive the team on and he's a type of player Chelsea don't have right now."

Torres was full of praise for Costa, who passed his medical at Chelsea ahead of a £32m move next month.

"He is a strong player who is good with his back to goal, someone who can mix it with defenders and offer another outlet when you're having a hard time in possession," Torres added.

"He has different attributes to our other attacking players, so he gives the coach a different option."

It would be rather hilarious if Cesc did a Torres and you had two ex great players sitting on the bench twiddling their thumbs.

I dont see this happening though.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
Mail:

Erik Lamela and Hugo Lloris will not be sold by Spurs as new boss Mauricio Pochettino refuses all offers for pair.

Napoli and Inter Milan have both tried to take Lamela back to Italy while Paris St Germain and Roma have designs on Lloris.

Yet Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino sees both as pivotal to his plans.

Argentine Lamela could finally blossom under compatriot Pochettino and is keen to finally replicate the Serie A form he showed with Roma that attracted so many suitors.

Excellent news. The fans would not have accepted a sale of our best player for the third summer in a row.

Sometimes I want to hate Fernando, but he always pulls me back in and I can't dislike the handsome bastard.

Torres returning to his elite form with his Spanish bros around him. #Believe

I expect Rooney to not score at the WC and England to go out out in the Second Round, but that's almost a given.

They'll still be bigging that potato up as our great hope and first name on the team sheet afterwards no matter what.

He even pays grannies for sex! What does he need to do in order to not be guaranteed a spot???
