I didn't imply anything, I wrote what I meant. You'll waste another year of Messi because Neymar wont do shit. Quite the contrary, he'll work against if necessary. You already lost one year with him, without him and without replacements will be even worse. Remember that you got destroyed by PSG and Juve back to back road games in the CL, if not for Neymar you'd be out earlier. You need a stronger midfield, Xavi is long gone and Inesta is declining, you lost a playmaker from the right wing in Alves and haven't replaced him (one thing Neymars disliked a lot), now you're about to lose a playmaker from the left wing and your board is rejecting 222m + Di maria at the end of July just to make them pay more taxes.
You need midfielders badly and you are after a box-to-box on. And no, don't put paulinho on Neymar. He's prolly the only brazilian player that doesn't stay attached to other brazilian players. Neymar Sr created an entourage for him and when he leaves his friends he likes to party with Brazilian TV Stars or Hollywood stars. It's your management that likes and want Paulinho. Yes, this may hurt you but it's true. Lima is the only one he wanted in Barcelona but that's because his father manages him and in fact Lima would be an upgrade for Barcelona and costing almost nothing. It's not because he's Neymar's friend.
This Board is watching the second best team of all time go and ain't replacing anyone. The next one may be forced to do a complete revamp and lose more of Messi's productive years.
Of course PSG wants to negotiate but if not, they'll play the chicken game with Barça, if they don't chicken they pay the clause + the taxes and you'll have a lot of money but no time to sign anyone great...
