The Premier League is back!

 

It's back! After three months of having to pretend to be interested in other sports, football fans can finally relax and indulge themselves in the return of the Premier League this Saturday.

Last year's campaign was one of the most dramatic in living memory, with Manchester City snatching a maiden title victory in the dying seconds of the season.

Yet, with Robin van Persie joining Manchester United, an overhaul at Arsenal, and Brendan Rodgers seeking to kickstart his Liverpool revolution, there is one heck of a stellar cast list for 2012-13 campaign...

Wenger loses prize piece RVP just as Arsenal jigsaw looks complete

 

Arsenal's hopes of returning to the top of the Premier League table suffered a blow on Friday as Robin van Persie completed his move to Manchester United.
The Gunners looked to have taken great strides this summer by bringing in the likes of Olivier Giroud, Santi Cazorla and Lukas Podolski following their third place finish in the 2011-12 season.

Now, though, after Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri departed last summer and with Alex Song linked with a switch to Barcelona, Arsene Wenger has lost another key piece of his Arsenal jigsaw.

Van Persie & Modric break free at last to land their dream moves

 

Two of the longest-running transfer sagas of the transfer window look to set to reach their conclusion before Saturday's Premier League kick-off, with Arsenal and Tottenham both accepting bids for Robin van Persie and Luka Modric respectively.
The Spurs midfielder's move to Real Madrid has been touted since last summer, and the Croatian is believed to be jetting out to the Spanish capital on Thursday to complete his switch to Santiago Bernanbeu.

Yet Gunners fans will no doubt find their captain's departure harder to swallow, particularly with the Dutchman joining fierce rivals Manchester United...

Agger 'inking' of staying at Liverpool but lure of Man City may prove too much

 

Daniel Agger may have given the strongest sign yet of his intention to remain at Liverpool this week by having the club's famous 'You'll Never Walk Alone' slogan tattooed onto his knuckles.
The Danish defender has been linked with an Anfield exit throughout the summer, with Premier League champions Manchester City believed to be keen on his services.

Yet despite the 27-year-old's gesture of his love for Liverpool, the lure of the Etihad Stadium and its riches may prove too tempting even for Agger.
