If I didn’t need my ears syringing I could have sworn that Danny Mills asked where Messi would fit in Man City’s team
“City’s the only club Messi could go to.”
“Messi is sensational but you would need to build the team around him.”
“You question ‘Where you do you play him?’ and ‘Instead of who?’”
Danny Mills questions if and where Messi would fit into

This is the second tweet I’ve seen like this. Does anyone know when Man City became unlaterally responsible for financing other football clubs, the NHS, maintaining the traffic cameras on Ashton Old Road and emptying the bins?
Manchester City have spent more than £60m on new players in the last week. A couple of miles away, a proud non-league club is fighting to save itself from going bust.
