He can be if recovers strength and picks up a little speed. By his own words he is going to do his best to return in normal shape for the World Cup. I'm not saying he will, those are just words. But I'm saying we should wait and see, if he actually recovers his body to an extent we should get him.
A fit Neymar can be useful to Flick, we are discussing nonsense. He managed to make Lewandowski the top goalscorer in Europe. Talk about redeeming finished players.
He has not been a left-winger for years. Since then he's older. He's had a serious injury that have proven to have a negative effect on an athletes' speed and agility. Very rare do you have a top athlete return to his best from it. Guys like Durant are rare cases of it, but he's also been a better professional than Neymar in his career. He's also had multiple serious ankle injuries. He's had a metatarsal fracture. This is all in the last few years. It's nothing like Lewandowski.
You're talking about redeeming a player who's close to his expiry as a footballer with multiple ankle and knee injuries, that got a very toxic entourage which have already backstabbed us once.
Try rationalizing it however you want, but it will never make sense to sign Neymar again for anything more than it being a crowd pleaser. I don't even dislike Neymar tbh. I root for him when he plays for Brazil.
Football-wise there's just no pros for it. Only cons.
