You don't pay 60M for a guy who is going to start on the bench, sorry.
Maybe that's how things are done in Fiorentina, but FCB place tradition over finances. Nobody, not even Ronaldo (Lets face it, he is second only to Messi) will just walk into the team. You have to earn it. BTW, since when did 40 + 10 = 60 ?
Xavi probably will not be playing in 2016-2017.
Nice Fiorentina knock. Fiorentina couldn't pay 60M if they wanted to because they don't have unlimited debt bailouts from corrupt Catalan/Spanish banks to ensure glory hunters like yourself always get the shiniest toys.
Nobody knows how much Neymar will cost so I used 60M as an estimate instead of the EMD propaganda numbers. And if Neymar was willing to fight for a place then he'd be on his way to Real Madrid already, but Perez told him he'd have to fight for a spot.
Yeah... Why are they so intent against bending over for super-rich European cliubs!? Why not take the cash and add to their already-full bank lockers!?Seriously why are Brazilians so keen on keeping their players now?
And why should they lose their best players season after season? And produce some of the best talents of football, yet become a senior home for finished players à la Forlan, Seedorf, Deco?Seriously why are Brazilians so keen on keeping their players now?
Neymar (Santos): "Ballon d'Or? Best players of 2012 are Iniesta, Ronaldo and Messi, with Messi being the number one."
Neymar (Santos): "Nobody does what Messi does. Playing by his side would be a dream, even just training with him would make me happy.
if you believe some twitter quotes, of course..
Thought I remember him saying Ronaldo was #1 a few months ago. hmmm
