Lionel Messi

Klaus

Usmanov has been trying to take over the club, and the billionaire appears to have an ally in Gunners legend Thierry Henry but Wenger made it clear that he will not be going down that route.

He added: "Look, I've always said the same, which is that we want to produce the money from our own resources.

"What do you call big (in terms of a signing)?

"We will buy Lionel Messi in January and surprise you!"

Would be a welcome signing in my opinion.

Beggars can't be choosers, Tim.

Think we should pass on Messi. In 7 or 8 years or so he will start losing a bit of his pace, and then I wouldn't trust him to do it on a rainy February night in Stoke. He doesn't win many headers either. Doubt he could lead our line well therefore.

I think we should go all in for Downing instead. Convert him to an RB, convert Sagna to a CB, and stick Mertesacker up front. Genius.

Biggus

Well I think we should get him in and make him captain, imagine what he'd be worth to Man City after a year?

IBL

pah, just a glorified Quincy

kamikaze

has anyone actually seen this guy play, or are we basing this off youtube comps? klaus?

Klaus

Never seen him to be fair, but a friend of a friend who lives in Catalonia claims that the rumour on the street over there is that Messi's the real deal.
