Neymar

[Cobwebcat]

I don't believe he is coming at all. Not one bit.

I also don't believe you 'know' he isn't coming, no offense to you. But credit for trying, the old posting in good faith and all.

Nothing against 93.20blue but my guess is he isn’t coming either.

sam lees opinion on it

Not a fan of Neymar but Sam Lee's views have little value to me. He got the biggest City story of the last ten years (CAS case) hopelessly wrong. A lot of people using this forum were better informed than him and he is supposed to be a dedicated City reporter. So I'll pass on what he says.

If Neymar is joining it's not imminent cause he's on a flight to Japan with PSG.

Has there been any case that no major(?) messengers or media but the ITKs only guessed right and then suddenly bombed?
Sorry for bad English, Was there literally 'nothing on the media' case before?

Was going to say, one summer ? Has he forgotten CAS already.

Well I've just signed up today, just to reply to this. Been following the forum for about 10 years I've but never actually posted.

I don't claim to be ITK by any means, but I know someone who works for the club who often gets me hospitality packages for any game. He told me in the middle of March to put some big wonga on Haaland to City because he's been told to look at building relationships with businesses in Scandinavian countries. Fair to say, I won some big money on that as at the time it was 13/8 odds for City transfer.

This morning he's told me that he's been informed to be ready that there's a huge possibility that there could be a hike in prices for the hospitality packages because he's heard within the club that Neymar is close to joining.

This doesn't mean by any means that it is a done deal as he could be getting his info from this forum. Don't shoot the messenger. I'm just passing this information on in good faith. Could be bullshit, but he was spot on about Haaland.

Insider trading...50 will be round mate..;-)

This is one of those ‘the idea was put forward, it was discussed but too many difficult things need to happen’ transfers.

This has cropped up this summer but the city position was very strict on what needs to happen for it to work, too much for neymar it seems including a massive drop in wages and a totally new image rights position.

I did hear about this a couple of months ago but don’t think this will happen barring some incredible about turn by neymar and PSG.

I’d be happy with this signing purely from a marketing point of view. Don’t care if he spends 2/3 years cooking the lads meals or washing their kits. Tebas will be thinking one set of dirty Arabs with dirty oil money took him from Spain and they are just toying with them by selling him to another. Pee boiling and all that comes to mind. The exposure of the Club to the South American fanbase would be worth it alone. Granted not a footballing on the pitch decision but makes so much commercial sense. After Messi did not happen this is similar sort of acquisition.

I imagine Puma are proactively encouraging the deal, but can’t see City taking the bait.

Sorry but what time are we blowing doors again? Will it be anytime soon? And btw I'm still stood by my bed
