Neymar - v2

[Barcaman]

I wouldn't be surprised if they did. EPL has a nice history of funny transfers. Way too much money being thrown around there.

PSG

PSG haven't overpaid for anything yet. Pastore after that season was always going to go for that kind of price, it was only a question of Chelsea or PSG. He didn't turn out to be good but that's another story.
Tell me, who have PSG overpaid for?

It's great to make fun of teams that have money but take a closer look at the situation and you'll quickly realise that PSG are not Chelsea, they are not City (nor us for that matter) in terms of overpaying.

Even the beard ?

I hope we don't buy him. At least not until he matures.

Being the second coming of Ricardo Quaresma isn't enough for him, so he's trying to be the second coming of Abel Xavier too.

Instagram really brings out the worst of people, doesn't it?

No lie. I use twitter to follow all the athletes and I'm considering unfollowing him. Was hanging on to the shred of possibility of living vicariously through a footballer around my age, but all I see are pics of his new haircuts and duck lips.

But Dani Alves is questionable as well...

Jordi Alba looks so out of place in that picture.

I don't know why you guys are surprised, uneducated people with lots of money...
Very few of these star youth players turn out to be okay mentally, this is accentuated when they come from a poor background.
Ronaldinho,Adriano,Quaresma,Ronaldo(C.R)... I could go on and on.

If they didn't have football these people would probably be taxi drivers, cleaners etc.
Nothing wrong with these professions but very few of them are actually smart.
Sure exceptions exist: Socrates, Arshavin, Alcantara but they are rare.
Balotellis are much more common.

Well pure intelligence aside, a lot of these guys are simply uneducated and very naive. It's the same with a lot of these celebrities who get rich quick coming from nothing, it's hard to keep control in such a situation. With Neymar it's especially bad because he's been worshipped by the media and clubs since he was like 16. He never got the opportunity to grow up normally.

It's not about being uneducated and having money - that's beside the point. Instagram turns people into absolute tarts, who think the whole world is interested in their cute dogs, foodie pics, duck faces and what in the bloody hell not.

Though, I do have to say, that there is a certain minority using instagram 'right', and making discoveries while creating something novel with it.
