Neymar gets kicked to shit in Ligue 1 - and the refs don't have his back very often either. When he comes over here, he'll love it. He might get fouled a lot, but he will not suffer the blatant kicks he gets in Ligue 1 and he's not soft by any means - he's physically strong and competitive.
We've got what £300k a week in wages lined up from Sterling's departure. I'm sure we can scrape together some more money to secure him. He'd be an amazing player to watch. He's stagnated a bit in France. Possibly because of the level of football, possibly because he's pretty much assaulted every game! He'd get a lot more protection in the premier league. And his work rate, experience and ability are unquestionable. If there's a chance to get him, regardless of the risk, we should try and make it happen.
City fans have been longing for some headline signings. We've missed out on a lot of the biggest names over the years, focussing on the £50m mark players - and with huge success. But in Haaland we have someone that the whole world wants to watch, and Neymar is exactly the same. Imagine a team with Haaland, Neymar, De Bruyne, Foden and Kalvin Phillips!
(apologies to Kalvin, couldn't resist).
