Think it is interesting to note the two different paths of Jags and Lescott.
Lescott who left Everton is not at the World Cup but won the League and others whereas Jags is now one of the main two centre-backs of the England Team at the World Cup but he has not won any medals.
Personally if I put myself in the shoes of a footballer, I would chose the path of Jags (hopefully without being biased). To be loved by the Club (and Captain of) and represent the country at the World Cup is where I want to be.
