Messi IN!
In truth this has implications for Arsenal. Who could Barca sign right now that would either replace Messi or be big enough to placate him to stay especially as they have given Suarez the heave ho. It is Auba of course. I think we should be in for Suarez too. He is at least a short term solution if Auba leaves.
The plot thickens. Cannot believe Messi wants to leave. Its probably the Suarez thing that broke him. Brace problems are not with the forwards. It's the aging g midfield and dufus defending that's the problem.
Make 2mrw better than 2day
It could have other implications for us too.

It's on!
But there’s one more English side included in the story, and that’s Arsenal. They write that the Gunners ‘are another great of the Premier League that could open the wallet and Messi would be a luxury reinforcement’.
Auba will be signing a new contract so even if he did the ultimate dick move and left in the same summer, we'd get a decent amount for him. Auba is definitely staying though.
Neverton could be close to signing James Rodriguez.
Not a great time to be joining Barca right now - think they could be in for a rocky couple of years. Aren’t they in a similar boat to us, where they’ve crippled themselves with the contracts they’ve been dishing out to older players? I wouldn’t be surprised if they struggled to match our offer to Auba...

LOL, nice try Atletico - for you, Lacazette's price is the same as Partey's release clause.
Paid in full, please.
I hadn't realised Saliba is a genuine gooner

"Tottenham’s interest in Saliba was well known and the Frenchman had a clear choice between Spurs and Arsenal last summer, only to opt for the red half of north London."
Spuds
Chelsea sign Chilwell for 50m.
Seems like Abramovich is showing an interest again.
Looks like no-one told Vardy - "We've a fantastic team that I believe is capable of getting even better and I can't wait to see what we can achieve together in the next few years."
