If and I mean “IF” we were to go for Neymar, I‘m pretty torn if truth be told. I’m 50/50 on the prospect of him joining. Part of me see’s the benefit of shirt sales, exposure to the Brazilian market/fan base, the bums on seats, the getting one over Qatar and how it’ll help promote Abu Dhabi etc. then the other half of me worries about stability in the camp, the effect it’ll have on the likes of Foden, Grealish who are known to like a party as is, that’s before you add someone like Neymar in to the mix as well. He’ll want to be top dog and I’m not sure that’ll turn out well with some of our other star players.
I then think about his desire to play for Pep and his admiration and open respect for Neymar. As has been mentioned, if anyone can bring out the best in him and tame him then it’s Pep. That excites me a lot, but then there’s the rumours… I’ve no idea where the rumour about his sister comes from and don’t particularly care if truth be told, but the worry is the perception of said rumour and how that’ll play out on him joining.
like I say, I’m 50/50 on this, I both want the deal and don’t want it in equal measure for totally opposite reasons. It’d certainly break the internet and have been worth standing by our beds for (no one suggested that was an imminent signing, I took it as news coming out at some point). Exciting times ahead regardless I think.
