"A todos los jugadores les gustaría jugar en el Barcelona y a mí también". Quote from Neymar today, he'd love to play for Barca.
I don't know how much more encouragement Barca needs. This type of situation is why the club has that huge line of credit, so they can make a bid when the time is ripe.
No coach in the world would keep this talent on the bench 90% of the time. The Trident has been together on the field almost all the time this year because they have all been playing great, none of them have had to miss very many games at all, and, most importantly, the team has been drastically weakened whenever Pep has used alternatives at forward. None of the subs at this position have done well (though Bojan might be perking up now).
I would think Neymar would be on the field about half the time next year, more if any of the Trident got significant injuries. He would score 15-20 goals. He would still play for both Brazil and Brazil under 21/23, so that would be enough playing time for him to develop. Each of the Trident would play just a little bit less, and no other player would get very many minutes at all up front.
Wouldn't it be nice this week to have an alternative forward like this? Not have to hurry Messi back, still having enough firepower to beat any team? You would have a team deep enough to have a great shot at the Treble every year. A team that could win CL even if Messi got hurt.
When Neymar is the leading scorer in Europe in a few years, after he's carried Brazil to the World Cup in 2014, it will be pretty clear that he would help any team.
