Neymar

Bellamy won people over with work rate and effort, you’re in cloud cuckoo land if you think Neymar will provide that: just look at each time we’ve beaten them toys well and truly out the pram, like they was playing with ten men. Of course he’s technically better than sterling, I’m not even a fan of sterling but I’d rather have him in the team than neymar.

Did you not see the stats dished up earlier? He works his socks off for the team. Jebus, some of you lot are very facts-averse.
 
If neymar comes, Jack will either play in the middle then or will be benched same with phiil who can play on the right along with mahrez and alvarez so we have kev, bernardo, ilkay, kelvin(he is a ball carrier so can play as a no.8 when we need more support duties at the back) so i think neymar to city doesn't make any sense it all makes sense only if bernardo leaves tbh which i don't want to happen.

Neymar Jr. Philanthropy: Famous Brazilian Footballer's Inspiring Charitable Work

Be careful! They don’t like them facts ‘round here! They prefer cliches and myths.

I agree with your sentiment but I don’t agree with the setting us back years argument yourself and others use. I’m 50/50 on this much like you, but if he signed and after this season it looked like it wasn’t going to work out then we get rid. Yes it may cost us money but he’d be gone. He’s not going to cost us any trophies so as long as we realise that he’s got one season to prove the doubters wrong then it’s a no brainier for me really due to the revenue and fear factor he’d bring to us.

I under stand where you're coming from NMF.

To clarify, the setting us back years has two perspectives IMHO:

1. How much will it cost? Will it tie us down with an inability to compete for good players? Will we fall foul of new FFP requirements?

2. Will he upset the dressing room? Will we see players leave because of his perceived histrionics/attitude/demeanour?

We have at present our best squad. Well, that was last season, and we have made adjustments over the Summer.

Largely, news about our squad is rarely in the papers. Yes they follow Grealish, but he is Today's Beckham/Gazza, in so much as they realise his profile and image and England supporters are fond of him.

However, my point being, the squad is settled, and we rarely if ever hear of row's arguments and dischord.

I don't mind not winning every year, but want us to compete favourably in every competition. I'm not greedy, just realistic that our cycle will come to an end.

Could this transfer, be our "re-signing of Rooney" moment? They were never the same again after that...again MHO.

If It happens and I'm wrong, I'll gladly hold my hands up.

But at present, this Skeptical Manx Hippo, remains Skeptical.

Ramble over!

Neymar / Grealish - Haaland / Alvarez - Foden / Mahrez

Bernardo / Grealish - KDB / Gundogan

Let's not mistake running around aimlessly while throwing tantrums and screaming out "fuck off" as work rate.

That’s the thing. We are all expecting to go for a big midfielder to replace Gundo next year with the risk of Bernado leaving as well. But the big signing could equally be Neymar with Jack dropping back or even Foden which Pep has openly spoke about before. Look at Bernado as a prime example we signed him to play on the wing yet he now runs our midfield.

Still no story from our side, are we really pursuing him or not?

i personally think there is an interest from our end hence there have been no denial? Gaughan, Blackburn etc even with the rumours would have contacted city over neymar and the gnabry rumours got shot down instantly yet nothing on this yet?

I know, but i need some story from our side on why we pursued him. Did Pep know about this, did Pep want him after he know that Neymar wants to join, etc.

I get it that the club want this as secret as possible but still i like to know more even just a little.

Pep only gets players he wants mate and even if the club wanted a galactico signing for exposure and Pep didnt want said player the player wouldnt arrive? Pep has always spoken highly of Neymar so i would imagine he would take him if offered

Why would PSG sell to us?

Apparantly there's divided opinion from their board, not all of them is keen the idea selling him to us for whatever reason. There's still possibility though that they will sell him but they need to sort out the voting first whether they want to keep him or not.
 
It's been a fun couple of days but the reality is the chances of him being part of our set up this season are pretty much zero.
 
It’s looks an unlikely signing. If by some stroke of fate Neymar transfers to city I have only 1 question…will he win us games? Answer is a resounding yes. Can’t see it but stranger things have happened.

We could do with a cheating diving arsehole if we want to win the Champions League.

There is surprisingly a lot of truth behind that statement. We used to have Sterling who with his quick feet and reaction would bait slow defenders for a free penalty, but then opposing fans and media got to the referees, who turned on Sterling, and never gave him a penalty ever. Same reason defenders get away with murder on Foden who for some reason also never seems to be able to get a penalty. Compare that to Salah and Mane who seems to get calls for the slightest touch or gust of wind hitting them.
Honestly our defenders and attackers are just not good enough in the (Dark art of football) and it has really hurt us in the champions league runs.
