Intro:
Arsene Wenger talked on Friday (21 November) about how a young Lionel Messi nearly joined 'the Gunners'.
Script:
SOUNDBITE: Arsene Wenger, Arsenal manager (on Lionel Messi nearly joining Arsenal).
"It was just, I think in the end, he was not so keen to move, because it was at a period when (Cesc) Fabregas came, because Fabregas and Messi played together in the same team (at Barcelona Academy) and we wanted to take Fabregas and Messi and (Gerard) Pique. It worked only for Fabregas. It was not completely down to a flat (accommodation) in the end. It was down to the fact that, in the end, Messi was comfortable at Barcelona."
