Neymar - v2

[Duke]

ESPN confirm the deal

 

[JamDav1982]

Scoring where? In Brasilian league?

You can check NT matches, he constantly scores against non-european teams

He played 10 or more games against European teams in friendlies
He scored 2 Goals

Even Pedro scores more goals against European teams

Messi and Ronaldo have both struggled at international level at time.

It took Messi until he was 24/25 to get to grips with it and find his place as the leader.

But for Neymar he has to be dominating at 21??

 

[Bob88]

Idk why people are complaining about him. From watching him he's clearly better at shooting/dribbling/passing than Pedro or Alexis.

Is he better for 57 Millions than them? No

Alexis/Pedro+57 Millions difference paid for Neymar=Cristiano Ronaldo
-- in other words, Cristiano is 57 Millions better than Pedro/Alexis

And not this clown

what with east europeans hating Neymar ITT. Read English, I was comparing his numbers with players from the same league. I never said anything about Europe!

The club are not paying £57m plus Pedro and Sanchez.

Those two are not good enough. Neymar is in different class to them.

And not this clown

Remember this when he lifts the CL trophy next season

 

[Jadentheman]

Goodness I am gone for about 30 minutes and the meltdowns are already starting to happen. It wasn't confirmed yet people!!

 

[PaulFCB]

Remember this when he lifts the CL trophy next season

Or maybe the EL Trophy.

:unwell2:

ESPN confirm the deal

Where'd you see this?

 

[Flavia]

Rosell is many things, but he can do business. Although 57 does seem much, I'm sure he'll get it back in no time. The fee could also not be that much. Let's wait.

Just like he wanted to sell Ronaldinho in 2005 for 100m to Chelsea?
Yes, good business, but where would the CL be in that following season? Don't think that in Puyol's hands.

 

[FCBarca]

No point in obsessing over any potential fee for the player, he'll be a marketing boon for the club - they'll make a nice profit from that alone

I think you are missing the point.

The club will be making money and he will improve the team hugely.

It is not all about the money - he has been voted one of the top ten players in the world. Is reportedly wanted by every top club in the world.

The money making part of it is not the main focus of this - it is the ability of Neymar.

 

[Richard.H]

LOL 57 mill for a Robinho Mark 2? Hahahaha!

 

[PaulFCB]

The money making part of it is not the main focus of this - it is the ability of Neymar.

What ability? To score some goals and dribble while standing like Robinho? To sell shirts?

Sell him to Madrid and cash in those 40m, we can buy actual football players for that money.
