There's no doubt he's the best footballer on the planet, and I know it's popular to adore Leo Messi, but I always hated the little *word censored*. I could never put my finger on why I hate him so much, but he gave me a reason:

Messi wrote:I would like to play with Cesc again because I know him like [Gerard] Pique [from the youth team]," Messi told Sport. "We shared many things at that moment, when we coincided in Barca's youth team, and I know what he can give on the pitch.

"It would be special to be reunited with Cesc in the same team, in the same way that it happened with Pique when he returned from his spell at Manchester United.

"We're in contact. We speak and sometimes we send each other messages. He wants to come to Barcelona and we're all waiting to see what will happen. I hope he ends up coming and that we can play together again.

"Nobody imagined that one day we could all be together in Barcelona's first team, especially when Cesc and Pique left. For us to be together again would be special, a lovely situation for those of us that were there back then.

*word censored*!

This has got to be a joke:

"Arsenal defender Mikael Silvestre has held talks with Abu Dhabi-based club Al Jazira over a lucrative free transfer move believed to be worth around Â£4m a year".

Koscielny will sign when Wenger will come back from SA.
His president and his coach will let him go.

Arsenal contacted his agents the week after the end of the last season. He and his agents met Wenger.

With any Scouse players we've been linked to ie Mascherano, they'll probs go to Inter as the fat Spanish waiter has gone there

I'd like to see mascherano and benayoun in a gooner shirt personally!

We really should have moved for alonso that time.

Mascherno is not bad, but I dont think he is as good as the scouse hype.

Do the scousers have a manager yet?

Wenger wants defender in by end of World Cup

ArsÃ¨ne Wenger hopes to tie up a defensive signing before the end of the World Cup.

The Arsenal manager is out in South Africa commentating for French television but he is also working on bringing a player to Emirates Stadium. Speaking exclusively to Arsenal.com, the manager admitted a signing was not imminent. However he did expect to bring in a defender before the tournament ends on July 11.

"No, we are not close at the moment," said Wenger. "We are quiet. But there will be something happening before the end of the World Cup - certainly on the defensive side."

--------------

Guessing it would probably be Koscielny?

Seems the obvious one, but I wouldn't put it passed Wenger to unveil Campbell and Silvestre as our new signings

you're joking right? he does use the horrible "like a new signing" at times, but he wouldn't say he needs new defenders one week and then sign silvestre the following.

the man is a little deluded (like everyone), but he hasn't lost it.

Yes, I was joking... I'm sure an ACTUAL signing will be made, and Koscielny seems the obvious one at this point
