I think we all know, he won't be rocking up at the Etihad in blue, so discussions are moot. Self belief is a good trait, but imo, he goes far beyond that (similar to big nose), so could not see us being anyway intetested

My point still stands that these issues with his personality are exaggerations. I am fairly sure his teammates enjoy him in the dressing room. Otherwise why would Barca be so desperate for him to go back. Even after his failed move back to Barca he still put in all his effort for PSG and even showed his emotions when they got knocked out by the rags.

Comparing Neymar to Ibrahimovic has to be up there with some of the most ridiculous claims. It isn’t just disrespectful to Neymar but also an ignorant claim. I have never seen Neymar refer to himself in 3rd person or ever act like Ibra.

People can’t dig at his talent so they resort to taking shots at his personality. He would never be an issue in our squad, but unfortunately it will never happen.

Elaborate with facts, not your personal belief

What is that so called character profile? Neymar gets this hate because he is an exceptional and flashy player. Anyone who wouldn’t want him at this club is putting personal problems ahead of the club.

You dont think he dives? You don’t think he’s arrogant? Thank fuck you have nothing to do with player recruitment at City. Get back to your fifa game

A little bit of context. Zinchenko gave the ball away which they scored from a chipped ball over Ederson. No defender would have helped that. We also didn't score. Sometimes you need to score too.

Reminds me of that extremely profound Michael Owen line, "when they don't score, they hardly ever win".

I agree, A lot of focus on defence, and rightly so, but despite scoring 100 goals, there were many games that we lost which we would have won had we converted more of our many chances.
 
We don't need yet another creator, we need someone who's an exceptional finisher and someone who's an exceptional right footed centre back. We've been reduced to floating crosses to 5'7" strikers too many times this season and caught on the counter.

Kane and Koulabily are the only ones I've seen mentioned so far and it seems they're both priced out.
 
So Ake and Torres for £65mil.(minus £45mill for Sane) Maguire and Sancho(if he signs) £180mill.(plus City get £15mill from the Sancho signing on clause)

The combined difference. City spent £5mill on those 2 positions. United spent £180mill on those 2 positions.

Lol!

Perhaps one of the biggest issues we currently have is the lack of such egos in our squad. Sometimes we are too tame and are in need of arrogant players like Neymar, Mbappe, Ronaldo, Messi, and etc to take us to that next level. The very best teams had those egos because they are truly the best.

Strange that you also forgot to mention that some players with no egos actually play for City and are still classed as superstars.I give you Silva,Sterling,Aguero,Ederson,Laporte and KDB !
Thats why City make due diligence on each transfer an integral part of getting them into the club.Egos my arse. No thanks we can do without them at our club and let them play for the likes of the Rags etc.

It only my opinion, but Neymar behaves (or gives the impression) as if hes too good for PSG and hes doing them a favour - I fear he'd do that same with us.

If you can’t comprehend the facts that I laid out to you already with that post, then there is not much more I can help with. I will try to give you some short points:

Neymar was wanted back by his old club
Neymar still performed for PSG
Neymar was emotional for PSG
Neymar frequently visits his old teammates
Neymar doesn’t not refer to himself in 3rd person
Neymar hasn’t acted like Ibra
Neymar got defensive against Haaland claiming Paris will be his
Neymar hasn’t had issues with his teammates bar once when Semedo attempted a horror tackle on him
Neymar is friends with Jesus

Unlike yourself I am not getting blinded by some unfounded hate against an exceptional player. What would be your so called evidence that Neymar would be incompatible with our current team?

What’s Neymar done to hurt you? Sounds very personal. Did he refuse to take a picture with you or something?

It’s fair enough not liking a player but you can’t deny his ability. He’s one of the best players in the world.

It's not all about what you do, but how you do it too. Thankfully, the club seem to recognise this

Nothing there supports your argument that he would be no problem in our dressing room. The reason, you cannot back your factual claim is that you cannot.

VVD certainly can be categorised into that negative ego and we were deterred by his price not his so called “personality”.

The fact that he is friends with at least three of our players and has good relationships with his teammates is not enough evidence for you? That is all I needed to know.
