It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Whilst that may be the general policy, there are obviously exceptions. We tried to get Messi last summer, after all, and Neymar is a fair bit younger. Not saying that I think it will necessarily happen, but Guardiola clearly rates him highly and Soriano has long wanted a global star to boost our profile overseas. I guess you could argue Haaland fits that profile, but Neymar would be on another level in terms of the attention it would generate, particularly in South America.

And we are running out of Brazilians

I just think this Neymar link is unsubstantiated bs. Two clubs in the prem would be interested, rags and Newcastle. Rags because they'd pay whatever, and Newcastle for a galactico signing, one they haven't made yet. He doesn't fit City's profile in any way shape or form, and if Pep was judging him in our last encounters with PSG then he'd be near the bottom of the pile for potential new players

Yeah let’s not talk about what the player wants!?

Felix or Leao, no way would we let Sterling go without a replacement, Palmer looks a prospect but he is very much one for the future.

I don't think @93.20blue would have posted in the way he did - IF it was Felix or leao

They simply aren't a "Huge Huge name" as he posted

Can't be Neymar. Bem Brazil is a meat restaurant and he's vegetarian - that's why he keeps falling over a lot.
( I know they have a salad counter)

To be serious - this is so wrong on so many football levels. I appreciate the business arguments, especially with us about to buy into a Brazilian club and the draw to bring special young Brazilian talent, but I can't bring myself to watch all the histrionics. I've never booed a sky blue shirt before. This really tests my 'in Pep we trust' principle, if true.

Not doubting 93:20 but I’m with you. I don’t personally see Neymar as a fit for us. On top of that, I don’t see how we get so late into the Summer and all of a sudden Neymar rocks up at City after zero links in the media.

If anything, the recent claims say the opposite, that he has no intention of moving from PSG and wants to stay focused there till the world cup.

Note 93.20 didn't say Neymar at any point. Bluemoon did.

If our rumoured outgoings are true we need three defenders now.

Here’s Neymar! :-)

Can’t see it could be anyone else with his clues but yes.

Could see a one year loan working with PSG putting some towards his wages. Anything else just doesn’t work imo.

True. It was quite an unusual post for him/her. Almost TH like. Normally just gives the name and sods off for a couple of weeks.
