4. Tottenham?

7. Either Manchester City

Or the MLS (if finances are worked out somehow)

I know Barcelona are in a hot mess financially, but this is still surprising. I thought some sort of deal had been worked out through third party financing.

8. Probably PSG

They have gobs of cash and are building the team up again. Messi and Neymar are on good terms so I think it's the most likely destination.

9. Houston Dynamo?

Yeah right. One can dream...

[chia]

5. GOAT

[obnoxiousdrunk]

6. One of the gretest

soccer players.
