Neymar Jr.

[Devils]

Laporta might actually go for him now that Haaland is not coming.

I could see Xavi asking for him as well.

It could torpedo our promising project to bring this virus back!

He was so desperate to become Messi and take the "no. 10 position", when in reality the role best suited to him was the wide forward position.

He was a monster in 14-15. Easily his peak, as he scored 7 KO goals v PSG, Bayern, and Juve in 5 matches...I don't think he's scored that many KO goals in 5 seasons at PSG combined.

Laporta is not stupid, and even if he was, Alemany will set him straight. No Neymar whatsoever.

In 14-15 his finishing was incredible, nearly every 1vs1 was scored by him. In other aspects he was better in 15-16 imo.

15-16 was all around peak. You can argue 17-18 was but I am always for 15-16 as his entertainment/effectiveness skills to attacking plays ratio was better.

First half of 15-16 was his absolute peak as a footballer but he dropped a huge stinker in the 2nd half of 15-16. Basically ghosted from March onwards.

14-15 gets the nod because 7 KO goals in 5 games v PSG, Bayern, and Juve is amazing.

He'd probably have won a BdO if he kept it simple and played a role rather than trying to be the focal point and playmaker.

He would score A LOT of goals cutting inside from the LW and playing behind the last man.

 

[Blackened]

Talent-wise with ball at his feet he is far superior to prime CR.

 

[Temptation]

Don't necessarily disagree but people are so biased towards dribbling while talking about talent.

Ronaldo, apart from his array of skill moves had insane ability in the air, was a set piece specialist and had shooting ability with both feet which Neymar could only dream of.

Why are these things not considered talent? They aren't physical attributes. They're all extremely technical. Just as technical as dribbling

Neymar was also a set piece specialist that could shoot and cross with both feets with vision for mad through balls however, he didn't have the insane ability in the air

Neymar's ball striking ability is not even in the same stratosphere as Ronaldo.

ball striking ability? the fuck is that?

Shooting. Long range or from closer to the goal. Ronaldo is clear on both metrics and it's not even close.
