Lionel Messi

Mauricio Pochettino
Instead of welcoming Messi, Hakimi and Donnarumma he would have been preparing Spurs for a crunch Europa Conference League clash with some mid-table Portuguese club. No disrespect to any mid-table Portuguese clubs.
Pochettino getting sacked by Spurs was probably the best thing that ever happened to him.

Took his time after being sacked, chose PSG and in less than 2 years later he will manage a team including Messi, Neymar, Mbappe, Verratti, Hakimi, Ramos, Marquinhos and Donnarumma. 🤯 pic.twitter.com/NtDfu7WgBV
PSG's front three is good but…
All this talk about Neymar - Messi - Mbappe being the best trio like prime El Sha - Balotelli - Niang wasn’t a thing pic.twitter.com/wX6YfbLI9h

Good enough for the Champions League?
Imagine. All that effort for another quarter-final.

Change of scenery
This is perhaps one of the clearest indications for Barcelona fans that Lionel Messi has truly left

Tammy Abraham
In other news, Tammy Abraham has agreed personal terms with Arsenal.
So many big moves happening in the transfer window and my club is linked to Tammy Abraham.

I hope you never get to understand what it's like to support Arsenal.
Tammy Abraham lol. Standards are in the gutter. Keep him as far away from Arsenal as possible

Don't worry Arsenal fans, the player might be on his way to Roma instead.
A fee between Jose Mourinho's side and Chelsea has been agreed.
BREAKING: Roma have agreed a £34m deal to sign striker Tammy Abraham from Chelsea.

Diogo Dalot vs Kieran Trippier
Guess this rules out a late Manchester United move for Kieran Trippier.
Diogo Dalot is expected to stay as one of #mufc’s right-back options for the 2021/22 season, rather than go on loan. He has made an impression during pre-season, doing well in training and scoring against Everton #mulive [@lauriewhitwell]
