Tater Totts Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Problem is while you have first refusal on the transfer clubs like City can and will offer Barca more and offer him a bigger contract. Must say though, will be weird to see him in a shirt other than Arsenal much like RVP when he went to United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Do you think England will even get out of this group, as, England - for me - are third best team behind Uruguay and Italy. Uruguay is 'the cup final' as I could see the Italians playing for a draw. Grab a draw against Italy and win the next two would be impressive. Problem is, I could see Uruguay pulling apart that England defense; they will certainly possess well. One thing in our favour is, we also have pace.

Their defense isn't the best and aside from Suarez and Cavani their squad is certainly lacking. They struggled to qualify and needed a playoff to do so, it will be a tough game but we should be able to get past them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I just think, the expectation, crowd, hype, outcome - and importance of that outcome - is increased to such an extent between, pre-competition friendlies and the World Cup itself, that little indication can be seen in the former of what will transpire in the competition. I am sure there are examples of teams, looking tasty in their friendlies, going on to have poor World Cups; there are probably even incidents of team looking indifferent in a friendly, going on to have an excellent competition - maybe even winning the thing.Of course it is better to win your friendlies than lose them, but I am certain that the Italian and Uruguay practice sessions against the Irish are not an indication of, future events: they will be much more fired up when the show starts.

Chris1989 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Anybody remember the tweet last summer where Fabregas said he would never play for another club but Arsenal? Sure he posted a kissing the badge picture as well.Fabricass could be a good signing, but I'm not convinced. Pretty sure it won't happen anyway.
