Zenit's shock move for Messi

Cold_Boy · 30th June 2008, 15:00

Zenit St Petersburg's backers are ready to make a sensational offer for Barcelona star Lionel Messi.

Russian energy group, Gazprom, financially support Zenit and RIA Nowosti says they've discussed in recent days the prospect of splashing out on Argie ace Messi.

Gazprom are willing to put £18 million towards signing Messi, with Zenit including Andrei Arshavin in their offer to bring the total bid in the region of £30 million.

Is this the biggest bollocks ever?
This must need some special special talent.

The funniest thing is that their press secretary confirmed that they faxed in an inquiry about Messi a couple of days ago.

That pretty much show the credability of whatever that is, newspaper or internet. You couldn't get more far off target. I think the chance of Ronaldinho showing up at City is about 10 times bigger than that ever happening in a million years.
