Neymar Jr.

[Leo_Messi]

SO if NEymar arrives, where would Dembele and Griezmann and Coutinho fit in? Dembele and Coutinho Agents said they wont leave

Please use your common sense. If Griezmann AND Neymar are signed neither Coutinho nor Dembélé will stay.

Agents say what suits them to say at any given moment. Similar to Bartomeu saying that Dembélé is better than Neymar and that nothing is going on with Neymar when reliable local insiders and sources have been telling about Neymar potentially moving to Barça this summer for months. In fact you already had such rumors in Neymar's first season at PSG. People laughed at those rumors and the prospect of Neymar wanting to return this quick but his entourage obviously had little clue about what a small club PSG is, how bad Ligue 1 is and what a downfall that move would be for his career other than the financial gains.
Not going to talk about the climate, cuisine, friends, the Med, nature, BCN etc. that he left as well. His kid was apparently very well integrated too. He should never have left in the first place and it has only gone downhill for him in the past 2 years. Even on a personal front.

Cuisine ?
I mean, I can't argue about the weather, and obviously Ligue 1 is well behind La Liga, but did you seriously just try to argue that the food is better in Barcelona than in freaking Paris ? 125 michelin stars to 25, last time I checked.
(also, thinking it can have any impact on a player's choice between Barcelona and Paris is laughable - when you're that rich you can basically eat whatever you want, it's not like he's never had a paella in the last two years and his craving for churros is driving him back to Spain)

EDIT: oh, and as for climate, it doesn't really matter when you're spending the whole winter in Brazil anyway because you're injured

 

[Newcomer]

Can you please offer him 10 mil more on his contract so he doesn't come back here ?

The interviews from Leonardo and Nasser are clear.

The fun has ended and they will be strict with everyone.
There is no middle ground to reach between those two parties anymore. PSG is saying he has 3 years left on his contract, he is not doing anything favours by being there and, if he wants to leave, PSG has a certain fee they want for a deal to happen.
Neymar won't get any bonus. And Neymar won't just site and accept. Which means a move will take place.

Are you comparing local Parisian cuisine with Catalan and Mediterranean cuisine and its local products? That makes no sense. Nobody is talking about restaurants. Paris cannot compete with BCN when it comes to food markets, fresh seafood caught at the port etc. It is the whole package. The Mediterranean lifestyle, weather, cuisine, mentality etc. It is all very much in tune with what Brazilians are used to and love hence (among other things) our long tradition of having tons of Brazilians and South Americans.

You are fooling yourself if you think that weather does not matter. BCN has a perfect climate almost all year around. There is no aspect where PSG can outcompete (whole package) with Barça other than money as I wrote. If Neymar only cared about money he would not want out of PSG as nobody else will pay him a higher wage.

Yeah, it's impossible to find good fresh mediterranean products in Paris, as everybody knows. Especially when you only earn several millions a month ! Have you seen the price of spanish tomatoes in Paris ?! It's crazy ! I only eat Gazpacho for Christmas, or for my mom's birthday !
(also, there have been quite a lot of brazilian/south american players in Paris too)

Believe me, there are way more than enough arguments for Neymar to prefer FCB over PSG to not resort to arguing about groceries and tapas.

It's clear - he wants to come back because nobody makes a fish stew like his Catalan maid when she's back from the market with a fresh catch. Mmm.

Cuisine is part of the whole package as I wrote. A small one. No sane person is going to look at that aspect in isolation hence why I mentioned numerous other arguments. That is all. You can make all the silly comments you want to, what I wrote is not less true.

Local Parisian cuisine and lifestyle does not compare with what BCN has to offer on that front. Exactly the same with the weather. Or the sporting aspect. The financial aspect is the sole argument that is in favor of PSG. I am sure Neymar himself would tell you that if you asked him.

 

[Jadentheman]

Yeah.

They told us about Neymar will to leave before it appeared in the media.

They say there will be players in the deal. One is ok to come and should be Coutinho. The second one is a "good midfielder" but so far, he doesn't want the move and Barca doesn't want to lose him.

Coutinho and Rakitic. Solves the problem the forum has been having for the past two years

 

[FCBarca]

Coutinho & Umtiti - leave Rakitic for United when they are forced to dump Pogba to RM, thereby allowing us to gouge the Yanks for some of that cash

 

[MTL_Barca]

Yeah.

"good midfielder"? Can't be Rakitic then

 

[jairzinho]

Rakitic + Coutinho OR Rakitic + Umtiti plus cash.
Players have to leave to at least take some strain off the books.

Realistically, this season should be last for Suarez so that should mean a huge salary less.

 

[PhilS]

There is no way both Greizmann and Neymar would agree to join. If either comes, Dembele will immediately change his mind about leaving. Dembele has some eye-opening talent, but chances are better than not that he will never reach the Greizmann or Neymar levels.

Coutinho should leave, because he would probably do better on a different team. Hope he stays. Malcom should go, he is not good enough. Try some other prospect as #4 or #5 forward, who will then likely join the long, long list of those who were unable to shine with almost no minutes behind all the superstar Barca forwards.

 

[Andresito]

Watch us include Arthur in the Neymar deal.

 

[mc_lovin]

Well, Bartomeu is a shrewd businessman. Put De Jong and 100ME on top and we have a deal.

 

[Newcomer]

Didn't name the player.

Since he said Barcelona is very reluctant, we guess it might be Arthur PSG wants.
