Neymar Jr. - v5

He'd have to be extremely top class more often than not for this to be forgotten, if he stays.

Unfortunately he's never been able to maintain top class form for very long. He's the weakest part of MSN.

Bouhafsi: I confirm advanced discussions with the players (Sanchez and Neymar) and that PSG hopes to get the two.

Lol what a drama Queen. He really is the Justin Bieber of football.

We should just buy Dembele and a world class midfielder and get started.

How the hell can PSG buy both Sanchez and Neymar?

Surely it would breach FFP?

Actually that is very naive perspective, the board has tried to lure Verratti PSG and now will -if rumors are true- lose Neymar to them. We lose years of marketing of the club,the board is already underfire, RM won 3 in 4 and there is a vote of no confidence coming.
They will have to spend more than 222. You are talking from the logic of how board treat Barca, not how the board protect themselves.
Rosell went for Neymar when we were under crisis after 7-0 humiliation, the board went for Suarez and other big signing after no trophies in 2014 in order to save their asses.
This will be the biggest crisis they ever had, after getting humiliated against Juve, humiliated from PSG, RM winning everything. The board will have to save themselves.
Big spending are coming, probably more than 222

The Coutinho and Dybala rumors already in full force out there today, one step closer to my prediction. As I said, panic buy blindly for a big name. And their interest in Paulinho has been real, not just due to Neymar. Robert is in love with Paulinho and he has been the main choice aside from Verratti of the sporting directors for almost a month now. This 220m influx of cash will incentivize them to pay the buyout. They haven't backed down on a transfer they wanted even once unless the selling team outright rejected and we had no power to circumvent them.

What makes you think they'll suddenly spring up with this whole host of new targets?? They've barely been able to come up with any so far and their judgement won't improve now. Dybala and Coutinho are two of the big names linked to us and Barca will latch themselves onto them. The board have this foolish idea that either of those two would adequately replace Neymar or put us in any better of a position going out of the saga. At no point have they had a plan or even understanding of what they'd do to spend big this summer. They got us a RB, wanted Paulinho and Verratti. Prior to Verratti was the Coutinho phase and Dybala seems to also have had regular links with us, Dembele as well. I think Dembele would've been a good choice that they might have made, but I'll assume BVB will tell us to fuck off for this summer at least. I think they'll pursue Dybala as Ney's replacement and push Liverpool (foolishly, with no success) for Coutinho until August 31st, just as their grand plan was to do for Verratti before PSG told us to fuck off and he hired Raiola. If they insisted on Marco until the last minute as they themselves said they would, then we would've ended up with Paulinho as our only final transfer. Now, if Ney leaves, it'll be something like Dybala + Paulinho and try/fail to get Coutinho. I think it's very unlikely to end up as more than that, and they'll be fine with having spent something like 70% of the Neymar fee on Dybala and Paulinho.

What you're trying to do is claim that their plan is any more than what I have listed with 0 evidence to suggest so. What I've said is going to happen is completely based on all the evidence of their transfer movements historically this summer and up to this current moment. If you do think there's more to happen, please provide suggestions and evidence/reasoning about why it's plausible.

Do you think they'd get Dybala this summer? He just signed a new deal and juventus already lost a star player

i dont think Juve will sell Dybala this summer especially after selling Bonucci and Alves leaving. he also just last season signed a new contract.

Hazard we arent even linked with, Sanchez? probably going to PSG aswell. Dembele seems to be staying for atleast another season. Mbappe also. Coutinho is a no go, trying to buy a star player from a top 5 PL team in this market? no chance unless we use 3/4 of the neymar fee

You said we won't reinvest the 220M, I said we will. Foolishly, wisely isn't what I have talked.
This is the board I was answering in my post

If anyone really thinks that the entire 220 million euros from his transfer fee would be reinvested into transfers,

I will say it again, there is a difference between the board trying to improve the team, and the board defending themselves. They had to defend themselves one time before in 2014 and they have spent a lot and many of them were wise, a superstar was purchased.
If Neymar goes to PSG, this is the biggest crisis for the current board in front of the socios and it isn't even close, they are already under fire with RM success, now losing 2nd biggest star in the team?
And let's not talk evidence when half of your post about rumors. Both of us are talking opinions here.

Juve ain't selling dybala, neither is dembelle leaving durtmond and so on i can't see any big player moving this off season that hasn't already move, which why i think neymar will leave next summer and it will start a ripple effect in summer 2018.

We will get one of dembelle or MBAPPE,the other will leave to Madrid, dybala will see he can't win the CL with juve and also look for a move, the entire market will be up in the air next season.

none of Barca's dream signings are available in this summer window. Not Verratti, not Coutinho, not Dembele and not Dybala. That's why noone else is submitting bids for them.

I don't want to get dragged into Neymar replacement argument as I think he is staying, but most of those clubs are sellers to some extent. If we sell Neymar they will know that we are desperate and this summer could be the highest fee they can get for such player. We are talking over the current world record prices easily.
Many times clubs changed their stances in August, granted not very common with big names but it can happen. And just for the record most of those names seem recycled old rumors anyway
