    No he doesn't, that article is completely made up bollocks.

    Messi is worth £600k per week. He'd also make any club who signs him a lot more attractive to other potential signings.
    Because of the tax situation I'm sure his take home pay is no different to what he gets in Spain.

    Arsenal's highest paid player gets £130k a week, they obviously wouldn't entertain paying anyone £600k a week, however good they are.

    They wouldn't entertain the fee he'd require either.

    I'd think there would be plenty of other clubs other than Arsenal he'd consider.

    He's already at the club who are currently the best team in the world, why would he want to go anywhere?

    He's pissed off with Spain for being prosecuted for tax evasion.

    It's no big deal for him, the worst he can expect is a slap on the wrist and the repayment of a couple of million. His dad's in more trouble and could get banged up, making it even less likely he'd want to leave Spain.

    If that's all he wants I might try to sign him for my 5 a side team.

    I think you will find he's not got that attitude and he'll be playing for a Premier League club next season. He hates Spain now and it's not a question of practicalities.

    Would he get a starting five place though?

    He'd have to earn it on the training ground like anybody else but after a couple of cameos I'm sure his ability will earn him a spot in the first team.

    Messi wouldn't have come through the ranks at City.

    Nobody does now. Even Windass had to leave to come back.

    He'd be 23 and on loan at Forest Green Rovers having never made a first team appearance if he was our player

    Messi staring into his empty future on being told he'd never make the grade at the Hull City Centre of Excellence.
