Neymar Jr. - v5

[God Serena]

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.

To add onto that, we've only managed to reach a CL semi-final with him once.

We'll be just fine without Neymar. We'll probably even be a lot better if that 222m is spent well.

Let's fine Neymar 26m euros for being a cunt.

Neymar's deal will be announced on Wednesday, and he will have a salary of 40M, (the highest in the world):

It is sounding more and more like French soccer giant Paris Saint-Germain is about to make Neymar the highest-paid footballer in the world.

According to multiple reports, the deal, which would include a whopping €222 million (US$260 million) transfer fee for Spanish side Barcelona, will be announced on Wednesday.

Mohamed Bouhafsi of BFMTV reports that PSG and Neymar's representatives are hoping to have his new contract finalized in the next "24-48 hours." Bouhafsi also reports that sources have said that PSG is expected to announce the transfer and present Neymar on Wednesday following a physical on Tuesday.

Paris United is also reporting that the deal will be announced on Wednesday, barring any last-minute changes.

Neymar's new deal will reportedly be for five years and will also come with a huge raise.

According to L'Equipe, Neymar will have an annual salary of €40 million (US$47 million). Carlos Tevez is currently the highest-paid footballer, reportedly making €36 million (US$42 million) for the Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua.

It's news to me that Carlos Tevez of all people is currently the highest paid footballer in the world.

Football has lost its mind.

 

[Barcaman]

Just want this to be over already.

PSG are getting a media magnet and a quality player but I have a feeling both parties will be unhappy with each other sooner or later.

 

[Richard.H]

We are going to get further fuked in this deal I expect. I'm sure PSG will offload Di Maria to us or Lucas, or both. All of our problems start with our shitty and corrupt board.

 

[Raketa10]

Neymar please GTFO so we can move on.

Come on board members be smart for once and sign Coutinho and Dembele! I sincerely hope Di Maria rumors are false or we will be laught at.

Liverpool are not going to sell Coutinho.

 

[Raketa10]

Liverpool are not going to sell Coutinho.

Than go for Dembele and Mbappe. We'll have a lot of cash. It's time to spend wisely and think about our future.

Buy Seri and two future stars Dembele and Mbappe and we'll be more than fine! And we have to do this ASAP or next year 200 mil might not be enough for only one of those two youngsters!

Dont really need both of them. Need a midfielder and a wide player ideally.

Think would be close to 280-300m for Mbappe and Dembele alone.

 

[SeaDragon]

Seems like "O Pai" is here to collect those millions.

[DonAK]

Those two would be a better investment than Paulinho and trying to stick Dybala at RW and Suarez at LW

 

[Devils]

I gotta say, I'm nervous as fuck.

Not because of Neymar, but because the guys sitting in our boardroom will have 300m to spend. Christ the next four weeks could either be some of the most exciting or most disappointing in our history haha.

 

[PhilS]

Neymar is an extremely valuable asset to lose. Being valuable is different from being priceless. 222M euros conforms with the contract that Barca signed. PSG and Neymar are within their legal rights, though UEFA Fair Play might bite PSG.

We'll have to see what Barca can do with this 222M euros. It sounds like Countinho can and will happen, soon. Sounds good, he will help. And since Barca is at its core South American, it can never have too may Brazilians (Brazilians of national team quality). I miss that pain in the butt Dani Alves so much.

But others being discussed, like Dybala, Dembele, Verratti, Mbappe, may not be available now for any price. The Board may have to decide between buying now players who are actually available, vs. buying later larger talent when they actually become available.

We still had money to spend before Neymar cash so that's feasible. Messi and Suarez are both ageing so two fast, young forwards - on the cusp already of world class - would transform us as we lack speed in the team. Mbappe and Dembele either side of Suarez with Messi behind would be mouth watering.

We need a world class midfielder though ideally after the waste on Arda and Gomes and Don ageing. Otherwise we're relying on Messi again to create everything.
