Neymar

[bluesmith]

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.

Anyone who saw the shop last Sunday with Haaland sales will understand the difference between a superstar and our own stars. The money it generates through sales and sponsors will be unreal. Got to trust Pep to maximise it from The pitch to the boardroom. And who better to do it.

I've voted yes mainly down to the amount of piss boiling in Liverpool, Trafford, across the football media, and amongst general City haters.

I don’t like the guys non football stuff on the pitch, and I don’t know where he’d play, but he’d be a step up on anything we have on the wing.

A front 3 of

Neymar/Haaland/Foden

Rotated with

Mahrez/Alvarez/Grealish

Looks pretty scary.

And what happens to Palmer?

And what happens to Palmer?

He competes with the others for a starting place.

It’s not a signing. It’s silly season bollocks

To injury prone and I can't see pep wanting a player with his ego.

He competes with the others for a starting place.

IMO what happens is he plays a few PL games and cup games as there are even less minutes available and his development stalls

Again there is no news about Neymar today from reliable sources. I don't think we are interested.

I think that's the best he can hope for with or without signing Neymar.
