I don't want Messi.
Yes, that's my opening gambit, and i don't much care who else gets him (even Utd).
He had the chance to come last year and turned us down. He again had the chance to sign for us this year (OK, there IS a maybe here), but chose yet again to stay in Barcelona.
And now that Barça either have realised they are in a lot worse shit than they thought, OR they're using him in a power struggle with La Liga.
Well f*ck him and the other 6 dwarves.
He isn't a number 9, he's 34 years old, we'd have to pay him at least 600k a week (which we could well afford considering that we'd be willing to spend the same transfer fee & wages outlay on Kane, but would - I think - upset team harmony), and he'd be here strictly against his will.
Go to Paris Lionel (I live in Paris), so that I can laugh my b*llocks off again when we know PSG out of THIS YEARS CL.
