Have transfer rumours finally jumped the shark?
The Sun report that the two Manchester clubs are ready to part with around a billion pounds to secure the services of Neymar and Lionel Messi.
That’s right, a billion.
City want Messi and United want Neymar, with half a million pounds a week in wages potentially in the offing for both of the Barcelona stars.
With the transfer window not even opening for another fortnight, we’ve got another six weeks of this to come, and some fans have had enough.

We haven’t heard anything this far-fetched since United were rumoured to be paying upwards of £36m for a 19-year-old with under 100 career appearances.
Oh, wait.
