Neves is on market and Arsenal are linked

Yeah....Arsenal have been linked with literally everyone. TBF Neves might be a little slow for our needs, but he'd do well as a replacement for Xhaka.

I saw the story regarding Lavia, but I dunno, I can still see us making a move, esp. if Laporte moves. Rodri could well be destined to deputise at CB. Leaving us with Fern or Gundo. And - without Bernie - no grafter in midfield if it was Gundo. Grealish will be a better playmaker but won't be able to replicate his work rate in supporting others. Lavia is awfully young to be depended on if we get a couple of knocks in midfield. We'd surely still need one more.

Omg wtf. If Barcelona can't announce it it isn't fucking done.

It's incredibly simple.

Have City announced the extension of the etihad sponsorship, no
Are etihad sponsoring City next season, yes.
Timescale

Zabaleta could be returning as a coach.

Maybe Zabaleta's illegitimate son recently appeared at his doorstop and City are going him instead of Reyna or Haaland.

Barcelona will refinance they debt, Goldman Sach are apparently involved

They already did that end of last year didn't they

Thanks for the info

Weird reply but have you seen a headline saying we're in for him or that he's turned us down?
I'd love to see it.

Think that was with the expected super league money, trying to do a new deal

It's a bit different. Sponsorship deal renewals aren't always announced. New contracts are. Especially for Messi.

Wow yes that is exactly the same.
Greatest player of all time vs a sponsorship ?
Messi, until the deal is fully ratified (which it simply can't be if Barca don't have the funds yet) can change his mind at any time and sign elsewhere.

 

[DanJ210]

i dont think messi is gonna give his word to renew and then not follow through with it

Just being grateful , no I haven't a headline saying we're in for him or being turned down by him.
Only headlines I have seen are the ones saying messi will stay at Barcelona, which is the point I'm trying to make
