What I was trying to and failed to covey was that 222M price is off of our evaluation of Neymar and not his merit as a player. But you're right, they'd not have got him for less; they just wouldn't have gotten him at all.

But they still would have vauled him at 222m at least.

Yep but his form was bad the last half year (except for the game vs PSG). He missed A LOT in front of the goal and lost the ball A LOT.

I'm glad he's gone for 2 things:

222 mil and his attitude. I'm sad to see a big talent go.
Hope the board will buys some wc players in return. We need it.

This keeps getting repeated but he was easily one of Barcas best players in second half of the season and second only to Messi.

Before that home PSG game he was the only Barca player that turned up away to PSG and was one one of top players in number of games since turn of year.

Damn! This board got CUCKED by Arabs. Quataris bankrolled us via jersey sponsorship, they were "our" best mates. Rossell and Barto get Neymar in shadiest of deals, pay tens and tens of millions to him and his father, in the end Quataris come and literally take him away. Now Rossell is rotting in jail and Barto is looking like a punk. Lol

I don't think you can speak of talent in a 25 year old anymore, he is an established player, he ain't gonna evolve much further, for now he sure is a top 5 in the world, he won't ever be no. 1 tho. IMO

you're saying that if there were no buyout, they still might have bid 222M? We can't know for sure.

Yes we can be sure they value him at 222m as they paid it.

If no buy out and Barca want 222m they would have paid it. Probably more if they are willing to pay the tax on top.

Neymessi said "You do realize there is a reason 222m was bid on him?"

The reason is because of his evaluation by the clubs involved, which depends on a multitude of different factors, not just because of how good a player he is. At least in my opinion.

Yes so PSG valued him at minimum 222m.

As such, the Club will pass on to UEFA the details of the above operation so that they can determine the disciplinary responsibilities that may arise from this case

I love this line. :lol:

"Thanks for the 220 Million and we will report you to UEFA" :lol:

What does the board accomplish by doing this? I mean, Neymar himself chose them. Why act like sore losers? For me it's pettiness where it should't be. We are treating Neymar like he's the beginning and the end of this club. Let them sort out that shit. Who the fuck cares where the money comes from? The fecking player ditched us.

For me it's a poor showing by us. Our image could be affected. No player is bigger than the club. Act like you're one of the biggest clubs in the world. What a mess...

There's a quick cure for this. Wine. Lots of it. I'm having my 4th glass in the last 5 mins. A delicious young Rose made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes.

Seems to me that you kinda drink your sorrow away instead of celebrating. Just me though.

I get why people hate him over his move, I do too and I wish him the worst fate possible in his footballing career but it is childish to deny that he is a great player, one of the best. .

Not at Barca. He's not going to go down as one of the Barca greats.

Even just Brazilians Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo and probably Romaria were better players for Barca.

Neymar was a good player more in the mould of an Henry or Villa than one of the best to pull on the shirt.

Is he one of the best in the world at the minute? Sure. Will he ever reach the level of the likes of Ronaldinho, Ronaldo or Rivaldo in their prime? Very doubtful. While people say he was our future, being Brazilian (and leading the lavish lifestyle) he'll be past his prime probably by late 20s.n Look at Ronaldinho. Best in the world in 2006. Finished by 2008.

Yes. I see that your picking at my second sentence in the first post then? Sure they might not have gotten him for less. That said, he's not worth 222M off of sporting merit.

They wouldnt have gotten him for less. They most likely wouldnt have gotten him at all but we know minimum what they were willing to pay.
