Is Laporta certifiably crazy? What is even the point of bringing back Neymar? I failed to see one single thing he can offer us. Xavi seems to be the one who is really not losing his head over this.
The rumored 15m NET is after a pay cut. Jeez Luis!
He can offer us much need offensive quality. Neymar, even off form, is a bigger attacking threat than Ferran, Ansu and CardioPhinha combined. And he works well off the ball, so wouldn't impact our pressing negatively.
Shows up more in big games than Lewandisney.
Is more marketable, even if his brand a has taken a beating lately, than any other other player in the squad.
Is more exciting to watch than Dembouz ever was, has much better decision making and end product.
Now there's a lot of negatives aswell that you can list if you want (injuries being the biggest imo), but a Motivated Neymar is maybe the best player in europe atm. Last Autumn, he outscored and -assisted Mbappe quite convincingly and was on an absolute tear. Also played a good WC despite injury struggles.
And I think if anything could motivate Ney right now, it would be a return to Barcelona and a last shot of becoming the star and Bdor candidate he should've been.
