Not a bad line up. Bit different.

PS: Made it into a thread of its own

FA Cup, Charity Shield and, most importantly, get back our Emirates Cup

Not a bad haul tbh

Could be exciting - Markovic & Rodrigo could maybe feature for Benfica. hmm

Falcao at The Emirates bounce

Maybe if he misses the World Cup. What's Falcao's rehab status now anyway?

That's a very interesting line-up. EL finalists, money-bags Monaco and a well-doing selling club. And Valencia, too. Nice.

Most of the WC players probably won't play. Specially if they reach the R16+

So No England players :coffee:

And if we speculate that Brazil, Argentina, Germany, France, Spain and Netherlands and Italy would be amongst them

Then no Ozil, Mertesacker, Lars, Reus, Koscielny, Giroud, Diaby if he goes, Cazorla, El Shaarawy or Monreal will be involved.

But thankfully Suarez will be fresh enough.

I can see it already, Cavani scoring his first Arsenal goal, Fabregas' comeback and Javi Martinez making his Emirates debut Thumbs up

I don't think Atletico Madrid are going to sell him.
