Neymar

In the Iceland radio interview with Soriano he mentioned that it's up to Txiki to decide when a signing is the right thing for the club and for the manager and for the player.

So as much as Pep's opinion on Neymar is a huge consideration so too is what Txiki believes is in the long term best interest.of the club.

And given that there were hints about Ronaldo and Pogba, it seems to me like Txiki believes that we are at the right moment on our progression to have a high profile social media darling.

I think the last paragraph really rings true. We have now made offers to Messi, Ronaldo, Pogba and possibly Neymar in 3 successive summers. The pursuit of Grealish and Haaland - smashing our transfer record to become the 4th club in history to spend £100m on a player and paying biggest agent fees in the history of the game shows a marked change in tack compared to the previous 10 years.

As for the rest of your comment...I think we should all know by now that Txiki and Soriano know that what's best for the club is what Pep wants. 1 because they want to keep him as happy as possible, and 2 because they simply respect him so much that if he wants something they know it's going to benefit the club.

Didn't even mention Haaland.

Yes I agree Txiki has opened the doors to superstar ego players it seems.

Pep - gushes about everyone, hes always complimentory no matter who.
Age - I dont know what age has to do with it. We play whoever at whatever age.
Ditto workrate but what / where are these stats that somehow show he's more workman than sterling?
Personality - Well yes we know the bloke. He rolls around the pitch feigning injury. He bitches about his team mates etc. They're not our teams qualities. He does that quite a lot. (I dont doubt he's a good player btw)
Ronaldo - a fantastic leader? Seriously? wtf, he was bitching on the pitch about his team mates, young players who needed encouragement he moaned about - And whats he doing now.... Fucking off rather than helping the club (He says) he loves.


When I say the opposite, I mean all the above - We dont employ people like that, our players work hard, dont complain, and support their team mates. Total and utter opposite of what Neymar is.

Here's a lovely video of Neymars skills

I hate cheats like this. We don't need his sort at City.

Bernado is a different type of player. No one puts a Messi in the shape when he was in his prime. Which was for about 15 years.

He was a different kind of player who played the same position on the other side.
Messi scored 30 goals in La Liga in 2020/21. He got 6 goals in Ligue 1 in 2021/22.

It's not as shit a league as you like to pretend. Remember us getting knocked out by Lyon?

Should we just never sign anyone from the country that produces the most amount of talent in the world rn?

I dont rate him particularly highly and I certainly don't like some of his antics on a pitch. I would be very disappointed if we signed him.

Every City fan should watch that and then tell me they still want to see this cheating arrogant twat in a City shirt.
I couldn`t give a flying fuck how good a player he is, but some of those highlights show what a mard arse he really is and the bloke would be an embarrassment in our team.
I doubt even Pep could get through his thick head to just concentrate on what he is wonderful at, but after all these years he aint gonna change now.
 
I still do not think he is a Pep player at all and will upset the changing room……if we are looking to replace sterling then Felix has been mentioned multiple times and he fits our characteristic template and is a top level, clever footballer.
