I've got a lot of questions about him; we can't deny the fact that the kid's got talent but he still has a big step to make... He should've gone to barca a few years ago (when he wasn't famous yet and we would be able to sign him for free). I think we shouldn't pay the amount asked by Santos and we should certainly not make an (loan) offer for Torres, that would just be ridiculous.
So Santos is shutting down their operations of ladies' team and futsal team to pay him more. Wow, I hope that kid turns out to be the next biggest flop.

Disgraceful that such a progressing country like Brazil, especially one of the richest clubs from a cosmopolitan area, cannot find the resources to promote women's football. Not that anyone outside of North America, Scandinavia and East Asia is doing a good job at it, but you'd think after producing possibly the greatest female player ever in Martha, there would be an effort to keep progress going.
Though anything I can blame on Santos president and Neymar makes sense to me.
I don't want to call him overrated just yet. But he certainly looks like the kind of player that rather makes the simple look complicated. What you want from a good player though is making the complicated look simple. I hope Rosell won't get carried away and splash like € 50 million on him. FC Barcelona would look like the biggest clowns if he turns out to be next Robinho then. I still don't buy his flicks and stepovers in a league that tactically and defensively isn't even anywhere near the second Spanish division. He looks like a typical "YouTube player". You know. Like Quaresma.
