We should take the £200 million and run. I've always been on the fence with him truthfully, he has the talent and ability that amazes me at times but he loves his celebrity status too much, parties whenever possible and is still way too immature for a 25 year old man. Neymar to me is kind of a symbol of this current boards failures more interested in shady deals rather than footballing matters.
Whilst Bartomeu is too busy trying to build up Barca's profile abroad etc etc, we are losing ground to our rivals where it actually matters, on the pitch.
The PSG fans here are ready to boast like bringing Neymar will guarantee them european domination, it won't. Yes you'll gain a lot of Neymar fans who will change allegiance depending on his club , shirt sales will increase and interest will rise but with that you'll get a greedy father who'll let out rumblings of discontent every time you fail. I can already foresee him being linked to Madrid and Man Utd every summer.
He's going to have the pressure of living up to his price tag, being the man to take over as the best player in the world, and in all honesty I don't think he's ever shown the temperament for it other than ironically the PSG return leg, and a 2 month spell at the end of 2015 when Messi was out.
I've nothing against PSG, we all celebrate exciting signings and I don't blame them one bit but I truly think we are getting the much better deal here.
£200 million + remaining transfer budget will get us a quality replacement, and we still have Messi, an absolute footballing God. We can also bring in a quality midfielder too whilst restoring harmony to the side without having to deal with attention seeking superstars and transfer rumours every window.
The board know this is their final chance, they will get a replacement this time around.
We've won 4 champions leagues, 22 league titles and 26 Copa del Reys without him, life goes on.
