If we buy him and even if we sell Villa and Afellay, we'll be left with: Sanchez, Pedro, Neymar, Tello, Cuenca, Deulofeu (who should be with the first team next season with 19, he's good enough already to make the next step). 6 very young players for 2 positions. How is this going to work? Even with heavy rotation players will be unhappy about playing time.
Did you just put Neymar in the same category as Messi, Ronaldo and Ibra?to be fair his pace and his skill will work all over the world.. he will adept in a blink of an eye in an other league .. although hes going to a big european club .. not to some second division club..... he will play with the best in their leagues
still think there are at the moment 4 players on worldclass level ... ibra,neymar,ronaldo,messi.... so if we miss the chance to get this boy it would be a big blow... a contract with a boy like this and a matured messi could save our dominant position in worldfootball for an other 5 years....
Same way Barca restructured to accommodate Messi, Iniesta & Busquets. Some will have to make way. The way I see it, it all depends on Tito. Does he have enough faith in the youngsters (Tello, Cuenca, probably Deulofeu too, although he should be in no hurry yet) or will he prefer to keep the others (Villa, Affelay, & Sanchez)? I really don't see Villa & Affelay staying beyond next summer, even Sanchez isn't a definite. Pedro, Neymar, Cuenca, Tello wouldn't be a bad option for two spots, but who would be the ideal starters and the backups? Will Tito be willing to give Tello & Cuenca, your latest graduates, more minutes than Neymar? Or will they be content to playing backup to a foreign guy with nowhere near the connection they have with Barca?
I can't believe how people think Neymar is going to show up and automatically be in the top 3 for the Ballon D'or in his first year. Ridiculous.
Neymar's agent thinks he'll be in the top 3 this year.To be fair, I don't think anyone but Jadenthefanboy thinks so.

Me and about 193,946,886 Brazilians would agree. Let's not forget other fans from around the world that see him dazzle the Brasileiro week in and out.

A foreign guy that they know is way better then themselves. If anything on the first day of training Neymar will show them all why they're his subs
One of Tello and Cuenca will probably have to go after this season... I find that more likely than Sanchez leaving
