On Neymar, Barkley, Alexis, Aubameyang, Szczesny
Neymar move legit?
In yesterday’s transfer column, we mentioned the rather unbelievable suggestion that Neymar might be on the move to Paris Saint-Germain. It appears that a move might just be legit. Several pundits have speculated that he might be feeling the cool, but large, shadow cast upon him by Lionel Messi.

Ross Barkley to become the highest paid at Tottenham. Huh?
In a demand that can only be summed up with explatives, it appears Ross Barkley is willing to join the North London club—as long as he’s paid £150k per week, becoming higher paid than Harry Kane. While he may answer issues for the club, perhaps the wage demands might be a bit off-putting.
Ross Barkley reportedly wants £150,000 per week to join Tottenham Hotspur.

Arsene Wenger through with playing coy?

Chelsea fans are left a bit stunned after reports that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was to arrive from Dortmund. Reports today indicate that the coveted player will be staying put in with the German side, ending Chelsea’s hopes of signing him this summer.
