Neymar - v2

[Theconomist]

Yep could go either way but perhaps he's more Ronnie than Robinho...he should move soon though

Ronnie's fall after the 06 world cup was legendary. I prefer he is more of a Rivalod. Did you know he's still playing professional football?

Rivaldo could be a showboat but not a peacock like Neymar

 

[Superfly]

A clear case of big fish in a small pond... Robinho Jnr

+1

omg look at the goal neymar scored tonight....



imo it would be the biggest mistake of barcelonas transfers so far if they dont get him

 

[Trickykid]

Nah, not buying him wouldn't even be close to the monumental transfer fuckup that is the Ibra/Eto'o case. Buying him, however, could easily prove to be of Ibra like proportions.

Nice goal nonetheless.

 

[Jadentheman]

Neymar is consistently scoring every game. I think he's like 80% of Santos's attack currently. Neymar is practically Santos currently.

 

[Ursegor]

A goal celebration like that in Barcelona and Puyol will send a rocket up his arse.

 

[Flavia]

Nice goals, but that team is fighting relegation. That's one of the criticism he gets here, that he's only playing well against weak teams. Before someone says flamengo, they're also fighting relegation.

 

[Jadentheman]

But Ronaldinho played for Flamengo. Besides it takes skills to create the first goal. The second goal shows that Neymar has been working on his finishing

Ronaldinho left flamengo quite a while ago. he's playing for atletico mineiro now.

I do notice that he doesnt show up against the big teams. You can say he's young or whatever, but Cesc at Neymar's age lead Arsenal to the CL in 06. Messi at his age scored a hat trick against Real Madrid.

If you choose to be dazzled by his tricks and highliht reel material thats fine, but until he does some of that stuff at the elite level, he can't keep living on potential.

If that second goal is a sign of his finishing improving... then how bad were they before?

Neymar is turning 21 in Feb. At that age, Cesc was about to get the captains armband. A lot of people are underestimating just how long Neymar has been wasting his time in Brazil.

Henry not Cesc

Correctomundo, the hype was/is huge - I know hybris when I see it. He is not evolving atm, he needs to go to Europe (preferably to Holland or Portugal or to a bigger team and then on loan). But it's to late for that, he will sign for a top team like us (hope not), Real, Man C, Chelsea and the likes. One thing is for sure, those tricks he's making in Brasil will not fly in Europe.
