Dembele has already been injured for 5 weeks this season.
Neymar is the 2nd best player in world today by some distance.
La Liga is also less physical league, with more strict refereeing (especially for star players) and Neymar would not be the main target of opposing defenses anymore.
Yeah, I would take the gamble on 1 injury prone Neymar over 10 injury prone Dembeles.
But, "thank god" for Dembele?
When fit and physically in shape and not at his sisters birthday, He is the second best player in the world.
You're right but that "When" doesn't come that often, and whenever it comes it doesn't last long.
I don't hate Neymar, I just think there are many other better opportunities than Neymar at the moment.
Yeah, thank God.
I still favor a younger injured player over a 28 year old one, because younger bodies have better healing capabilities and won't cost close to 200M.
Not to mention the drama and all the stigma with it.
I will sound like a jerk, but Neymar's downfall is a good thing regarding Barca because it shows what happens when you leave us for money. I'm pretty sure players will think twice before leaving us for some other team which isn't on the same level as us.
Barcelona will not be pursuing Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar any longer, Mundo Deportivo reports.
The rise of Ansu Fati is one of the reasons the Catalans will not chase the Brazil man, while there are concerns over the Brazilian's injury record.
