| *MESSI |
Ready to pounce if Lionel Messi decides to leave the club that made him - literally, as they pumped him full of growth hormone from an early age - are Manchester City.
City are demonstrating they know how to play with the big boys, particularly Barcelona who are past masters at using their employees to unsettle star players at other clubs.
City big 'uns Yaya Toure and Sergio Aguero have urged Messi to join them at the Etihad Stadium as speculation persists that the Argentine is unsettled at Barca.
Messi slagged off the club's vice-president Javier Faus, claiming that he "knows nothing about football".
Toure jumped in: "If Messi can leave Barca? To come to us, yes! I want to say yes! At Barcelona, there is always one star. One. Two is not possible.
'With the recent injury to Messi and the off-the-field problems that he is having at the moment, and with Neymar gradually getting promoted, it is complicated for him [Messi], for sure."
And Aguero told the Manchester Evening News: "Yes, he should come to City. Then we'll definitely play together! City should buy him!"
Aguero should take a step further and have Messi photographed in a City shirt when they win the World Cup together in Brazil next year. It worked a treat when the Spanish dressed up Cesc Fabregas in a Barca shirt in 2010.
