Well at least they’ll have had a few days being indoctrinated into the big club culture before being told they need to join one to be an England regular.

According to the BBC: "Midfielder Ward-Prowse and forward Redmond will remain with the England squad for training." [until they sign for Liverpool].

I'd say Maguire has been an England regular for a while now. It will probably help, but at the same time there is a reason a lot of the England players play at the biggest and best teams. They tend to be pretty good and with the rules around home grown players the big teams need them so why wouldn't they try and sign the best English players?

He fell apart after the failed Spurs transfer. Maybe has depression, and deals with it by drinking. I can't have too much sympathy though, three times is just a kick in the teeth for his friends, relatives & fans. What a waste of a career. And the end will be approaching fast if he doesn't change something quick.
 
I think though he must need help. 3 Drink drive convictions now since 2012?! he has a problem and maybe rather than sacking him, the club could seek the help that he obviously needs. Once is totally stupid, twice is a bit ridiculous, but three convictions for drink in 7 years tells me he has a serious alcohol problem.

Perhaps the club have already tried therapy etc, and its just not getting through to him, or hes refusing help? Seems an arrogant bell so wouldn't surprise ne.

so, who do I support? Chelsea or Arsenal? I can't watch a match without supporting someone. If not I'll just have to hope for penalties and hope someone cries a lot. I always enjoy the crying
