Looks like Messi is considering leaving, guess he doesn't get enough cash and adulation at Barca. I'm thinking that makes us favourites to sign him seeing as we are his favourite team and we almost signed him before and we have 22 gazillion quid in the bank (although most of that will be used in the general running of the club I hear). Still, on balance I;d say Messi will be an Arsenal player by the end of the month.
