Probably the best player in the world for the past decade and there isn't a team anywhere that he wouldn't improve, but he would need to be able to also play DM and center back for him to "make the difference" for us
Re: Messi and The Arsenal
Apparantley theres only two players in the world that can "make the difference" for us. Our squad really must be that good. 
Thats Wengerspeak excuses right there.

Re: Messi and The Arsenal
By elite do you mean a team with an average finish of 4th in the league for a decade and a disgraceful record in the CL. Signing Messi would kill FeoNos89 wrote:Or he could be the player that moves us from a big club to one of the elite clubs in world football. We need a player that makes the difference.

Why would Messi want to come to Arsenal?

Re: Messi and The Arsenal
He'll only come to The Arsenal when he is good and ready and over 40 well past it and then and only then will he be the super, super quality that wenger and his team of talent(less) scouts are looking for 25 hours a day 367 days a year..every waking and sleeping hour they are OUT THERE loooking for the next Santos, Cygan, Gibbs, Denilson (***)...so worry not ...Arsene is on the job (with a frog rapper dj)casgooner wrote:Why would Messi want to come to Arsenal?

Re: Messi and The Arsenal

Re: Messi and The Arsenal
Messi now wants to go to Citeh for 800k per week. City would pay that. Greed knows no bounds. I'm for one am just getting sick of it.

Re: Messi and The Arsenal
The guy is one of the best sportsmen the planet has seen in modern times. He has done absolutely everything with Barcelona, played the game at an incessantly unbelievable level and provided phenomenal entertainment value.
On top of that although I do not watch Spanish football generally, I have seen so many games where he has been kicked time and time again, and he just gets back up and gets on with the game without a word. He's taken some ridiculous stick just because he hasn't single-handedly won Argentina any world cups for years now, and again just keeps his silence and gets on with playing football.
He could easily spend another three or four years at Barca sweeping aside all before him as he has done for almost a decade before pissing off to Qatar to line his pockets even further. That would be the easy option. If he wants to come to a league which although technically inferior is still incredibly competitive and I would wager far more testing for a top player, where he will come off black and blue every week as thugs, pundits and managers alike decide that the only way to stop him is to kick him, risk diminishing his golden legacy, to a team which notoriously over-relies on key players and is full of divas with egos, I'm not gonna slate the guy for that.
