I know this has nothing to do with arsenal, but I was not sure if you respond on the barca pages.

Is there any truth that messi is being shopped around by barca looking for takers?

been reading about their struggle to pay his insane wages, and if anyone who would have the financial capacity to pay the transfer fee and his wages?

{Ed002's Note - They have not been hawking him around but in the summer my expectation is that he will be made available and Barcelona will start looking to rebuild around Neymar from January 2016 when they can start bring players in again. A number of questions have been asked of representatives of UEFA regarding the transfer of the very high-end players and the impact on FFP. It is clear that exceptions would need to be put in place as the alternative could be lawsuits from players regarding restrictions on trade. In the past Messi has turned down a transfer to one side who had agreed to meet Barcelona's then €250M price tag, and Barcelona and a commercial partner resisted an approach by a commercial organisation on behalf of an English side with an offer to buy the player. I understand that they see three possible destinations for the player.}

{Ed002's Note - I suspect Arsenal will see if a deal can be done for Petr Cech. Arsenal may look to a CB in - Schar or even Mings, but January is not the best time to be looking to buy and there is stroing interest from elsewhere for both players. In terms of a defensive midfield player, long-term interest from Arsenal and Sevilla in Hamburg's Torgay Arslan remains - and I understand from someone in Germany he is a player much admired by van Gaal. Kramer may well be an option - but Khedira and Schneiderlin are much less likely right now. It will always be difficult in January.}
