EPL 2021 / 2022

Man City are trying to buy Grealish, Kane, and are being mentioned as the number one suitor for Lionel Messi. FFP is a farce

They've got Grealish. Not sure they'll get either of the others.

I think Kane will go abroad. Messi could well go to City given it's a free & Pep is there, but I think he's more likely to stay in Europe somewhere.

@majorrage
I forgot that the UK is now floating somewhere in the mid-Atlantic.

Looking less and less like a power play by Barca but I still think he is still most likely to stay with Barca. Even rival clubs know the difference he makes to their league.

Great bit of business by the Villa Board. Grealish is a very good player, but never in a million years is he worth £100 million. It will fund the rebuilding of our squad for the next 3 or 4 years.

@mofitzy_ The speculation is that Messi will probably go to PSG.

English players are always overpriced.

I also expect Messi to stay at Barca.

@sparky
My joke was about the UK not being in Europe.

That's how you do it. Now to spend the money wisely..... Spurs should be doing the same, if reports suggesting Citeh were willing to pay 150M for Kane (big if), I'd sell him now

Pep Guardiola has given a press conference. They are very interested in Kane but Spurs aren't willing to sell him for any price at the minute. They are not interested in Messi.

@sparky Yup just a playmaker in the middle of the park is what we need now, and maybe another hoding midfielder.

Looks like Messi might be joining Neymar and Mbappe at PSG

PSG have confirmed that they are in talks with Messi. If he signs, they would have a forward line of Neymar/ Mbappe / Messi.

Leceister won the Community Shield 1-0 in front of a mostly empty Wembley Stadium. The £100 million got some second half minutes for Man City in the Second Half.

Man City aren't stupid. Winning this is a curse.

and we're away and running, up the dons!

If Messi does end up at PSG who would have thought at the beginning of the year, that Messi and Ramos (the Barcelona and Real Madrid captains), would end up as teammates. It's a funny old world.

Feels weird to see Messi in another shirt. But I wonder if this might revitalise Barca a bit. Theye still got plenty of talent and maybe this will help them bring them through.

PSG fans on the other hand must be thinking this is the year. For them. Be interesting to see how they fit in their superstars.

Definitely agree about Barca. They must have a big crop of youngsters waiting for their chance
