We warned you to take the news with a pinch of salt, but it seems there’s we can’t stop some of the Arsenal faithful from daring to dream.

Others were more realistic about their chances of prising Messi from Barca’s grasp.
Messi wants to sign for Arsenal?
Sure he does, just like I want to be President of the United States.— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) November 16, 2015

And then, there are the Arsenal fans willing to go that extra mile to make it happen.
I'm pretty sure I could find another 599,999 other #Arsenal fans willing to set up a £1/week direct debit. #messi #afc #justdoit #thedream

Messi to Arsenal? 😂😂 I'd buy all three shirts with his name at the back plus buy a season ticket just to help fund this

£175m for his transfer fee, £600,000 a week. Easy, right?
