Neymar Jr.

[Raketa10]

Payment over 2 seasons.

Or sales of: Raki, Vidal, Rafinha.
Maybe Dembele or Semedo also?

We won't sell Dembele and Semedo. Not this season at least.

 

[JohnN]

We should offload midfielders anyway. 10 is too much.
Raki - Busi - FDJ - Arhtur - Vidal - Sergi - Alena - Rafinha - Puig - Coutinho.

 

[The Observer]

Neymar broke the same bone in his foot 2 years in a row. Jones fracture on the fifth metatarsal, one of the most problematic injuries because of the lack of blood flow to the area. That specific injury has ended more than 1 career in the NBA and caused massive decline in athletes across sports. Hell, look no further than Neuer who's never been even close to the same since he had it.

Now, Neymar isn't 2 meters tall or weighs 100 kilos, but that still has a huge effect on his ability to plant his foot and explode. He was at his straight up prime in his first PSG season, then got the injury. His production in the 2nd season wasn't as good, and then he got the same injury again. It's a pretty decent chance Neymar will be less athletic, MUCH more injury prone, and less productive than his prime at Barca. More likely than not, his peak has already passed.

The ankle sprains are something he's dealt with since his early years and he just has weak/skinny legs that get hacked at constantly. He definitely is a big injury liability

This sounds a bit overdramatizing. I have no medical background but some Google research led me to believe it's a common injury that heals well if treated correctly (which should be the case for a high profile athlete like Neymar):

I would be more skepitcal with constant ACL injuries.

Time for Sandro to step in provide us with some of that laundered Cartel money so we can use it to fund this deal.

Coutinho will go to PSG, so Raki/ Vidal and Rafinha than left for sale. Puig should be loaned.

So we sold Neymar for 220, then we bought Coutinho for 150m

Now we offer Coutinho (loss of value 150m) + 120m = 270m for PSG to get back Neymar?

Now we offer Coutinho (loss of value 150m) + 120m = 270m for PSG to get back Neymar?

1. Bought Neymar in a 100m+ shady deal, Rosell ended in a prison
2. Sold him for 222m
3. Bought Coutinho and Dembele for 165+145=310m to find Neymar's replacement
4. Sold Coutinho for 80 to bring back Neymar for 200
5. In two years, spend 150m again to find another Neymar's replacement due to forever injured Neymar

Makes sense.

 

[mc_lovin]

Someone needs to make an excel sheet how much we invested in Neymar (in bonusses, fees, wages) if this deals goes through. Has to be an insane number (>500ME?).

 

[El Flaco]

No matter where Neymar ends up, he's the biggest flop signing ever for PSG.

They gave us €220m to get Neymar while giving him €35m per year.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.ca...00-per-hour-neymar-s-real-salary-leaked-22734

And yet, PSG never got past UCL round of 16 since they got Neymar.

Yeah, people can say Neymar had injuries issues and such.

But it is what it is.

 

[vlad]

Neymar has an economic agreement with both Barcelona (€23m) and Real Madrid (€30m). The player prefers to wait for Barça to finalise the signing with PSG. The Catalan side offer Coutinho + €120m, PSG accept this, but the payment method is still missing. [

Thats what, 270m for neymar (since coutinho costed 150), sold him for 222m 2 years younger and not with such injury history, biggest cucks in todays football is this barca board if they accept this, without a doubt


Edit: add to all that, they invested part of money from ney transfer for dembele who will be completely forgotten if neymar comes, and barca will be happy if they get 80m for dembele in todays crazy market, wow, bartomeu is something else.

I would be more skepitcal with constant ACL injuries.

It's not dramatizing, and citing medical studies isn't really relevant at all. All they talk about is surgery recovery timetable and time until the athlete returns to play. It says nothing about how performance or athleticism is affected after the injury, or the likelihood of a repeat injury that isn't a short term relapse.

Jones fractures and navicular fractures are known to be tricky fractures in feet because of the arch and blood supply problem. Scaphoid fractures in the thumb/hand have similar issues, I just suffered one earlier this year. (That's actually what Neto has now I believe)

The fact is that I've only seen it happen twice in the past decade or so for top footballers, and both times (Neuer and Neymar) the fracture occurred twice in the same foot and bone. That is hardly a coincidence. Repeat foot fractures can be as serious/threatening as repeat ACL tears, though the timetable for immediate recovery is shorter. The likes of Yao Ming and Kevin Durant had it too, it was a career ender for Yao. He actually got both fractures (navicular and Jones) at separate times.

If you want a reference: https://iwalk-free.com/injury-resource-center/jones-fracture/

"The break associated with the Jones fracture occurs where the base of the bone connects to the shaft. It is prone to stress and receives less blood flow than other areas of the midfoot, both of which can cause difficulties in the healing process."

"Surgery to heal a Jones fracture can be recommended for many reasons. Poor blood supply to this area of the midfoot, a high likelihood of re-injury, and the severity and cause of the fracture are all taken into account when surgery is suggested."

Makes sense.

stop with this stupid shit BBZ what r u talking about..
number 3 doesnt make any sense.. u just threw neymars name just to for the sake of putting it.. Neymar has nothing to do with dembele and coutinho being complete duds. and in number 5 you re just playing god almighty.. knowing what will happen in the future..

 

[Devils]

RADIO MARCA just admitted he is likely to go to Barca rather than Madrid.

The Madrid media, one by one, are admitting defeat.

 

[cro-man]

If he ends up here those madrid links must have been bullshit. It was only to put pressure on us to bend over their demands. Who the fuck would pay 200+ for guy with this injury history? I really dont believe madrid is dumb enough to pay so much money for this guy. Maybe i am wrong and they are as dumb as we are.

This signing doesnt make sense no matter how you look at it. I dont think psg is selling him because he is forcing something i think they are selling him because they realized that he is a lost case with his injuries and behaviour. Its also a chance to free themself from FFP.

 

[mc_lovin]

They sell him, because they cant afford another Rabiot situation (on crack). Thats my theory at least, they cut their losses.
