Neymar

The thing is, he’s supposedly been offered around clubs recently because PSG want to sell and we’ll 100% have been one of the first clubs touted. TH has already said today that he’s rejected Chelsea.

That’ll have got to Pep who I doubt would’ve said no. Sterling and Gabby gone and the chance to work with a guy he praises and drools over publicly at any given opportunity!

If Pep says yes, the club will likely go after it. It’d be up to Neymar who, like Pep does to him, has publicly commented on Pep in the past.

Get him out of a league that doesn’t challenge him and his need to win (too easy/guaranteed) and into a setup that’s hungry and he’ll thrive.

If Pep (supposedly) was confident he’d get the best out of Pogba then I don’t see why he wouldn’t feel the same about Neymar. The guy is a winner, he’s hungry for trophies and would be desperate to succeed.

Peps also said before that if Barca kept Neymar they would have a won lot more champions leagues. So Pep must rate him highly can’t see him passing up an opportunity to coach him

I think people forget City are a business, the aim is to make money and there’s no doubting that signing Neymar makes money. We get opened up to a huge fan base in Brazil, shirt sales, sponsorships and he’d be the face of Etihad/Abu Dhabi I’m sure. For us fans Haaland is a huge buy and statement piece, but for the club Neymar would dwarf that commercially and that’s the aim of the game for those at the top.
Neymar would sit bums on empty seats, he’d have sponsors lining up for him and us… I also read yesterday he’s a Puma athlete which then opens other doors for us as a club.
He a risk no doubt, but a calculated one and makes more sense now than Messi did last season or the season before that.
How many shirts abroad do you think you’ll see with Neymar on the back if he joined? I couldn’t guess but it’d be a lot! Fans are moaning about him diving but Fernandinho did exactly the same lol. He’d not be the first to do it and won’t be the last. He just needs to learn to be cute about it.

Nice to see someone who can post based on sense rather than emotion.
 
My vote is yes. I wish there was a choice, yes only with Guardiola's enthusiastic consent. Guardiola has demonstrated repeatedly that he makes mistakes, but he has been correct a lot more often. If he wants performance along with some circus, then by all means.

There is a bit of a difference in saying If Barcelona had kept Neymar of 6 years ago, and wanting Neymar of now at his age and cost at this City side.

And doubt there really is much of an opportunity.

I would genuinely be shocked if this even got far enough for real discussion, let alone actually happened.
 
As well as being a good player I think this is probably as much to do with marketing us as a club that can attract galacticose. If true he won’t be guaranteed game time off Pep
 
He’s exactly what I hate in modern footballers but it would be fucking hilarious in terms of the whole volume of the Manchester ship canal, from its nose in Trafford to its arse on Merseyside, bubbling away full of angry piss.

For that reason, let’s do it, just for a laugh.
