Neymar

[Atypical]

Do you really think he would thrive in the Premier League. I think he would hate it and want out almost straight away.

 

[Josh Blue]

He would take the piss out of some of the defenders in this league. He would get clattered a few times as well though.

Regardless of how good this lad may be on the hard pitches of Brazil he would be like every other Brazilian that has ever graced our league; ineffective!

Simply put, they go missing from November through to March as the temperatures drop and the pitches cut up and also the are renowned for a lazy attitude that undermines their technical ability.

I ask you 2 things.

Firstly, who could possibly forget Robinho's pathetic performance in the Spurs away night match in the last weeks of Hughes's tenure?

Secondly, How long would it be before he didn't like the weather, being kicked, the food, driving on the left, the manager, the language, Coronation Street, the press and starts asking his agent to wangle a cut price loan (City paying the wages as usual) back to Brazil or Spain?

In short, you name me a Brazilian in English football and I will show you an overhyped flop!

True they don't have a great record, but off the top of my head Juninho, Silva, Edu all did well, of the current crop, Ramires, Sandro, Luiz, Da Silva, Oscar all look like they're having or going to have decent and successful spells here.

I agree for the most part but I do see a bit more attitude & balls in some of the recent generations of Brazilian players, so perhaps it's a bit unfair to judge them all in advance.

Neymar does give the impression he would be a throwback though tbf, but he is also a lot better than people such as Robinho (if you are going to be a big fairy, at least be a genius too). I think we had a special kind of shithouse in Robinho, who was not only a lazy, whinging, ponce, but also not that good compared to the best Brazilians, & was even a big fanny by Brazilian standards.

If you are going to have a Brazilian fairy, at least have an 'A' list one.

Ramieres? Sandro? Lucas Leiva? Rafel? Oscar? David Luis?

Ramieres? Sandro? Lucas Leiva? Rafel? Oscar? David Luis?

All average at best. Would you say Ramires was better than Yaya, or Lucas better than Barry, Rafael better than Zabaleta, Oscar better than Silva and I'll not even mention Luis as even Chelsea have realised he can't defend for toffee!

If we are daft enough to spend circa £40m on Neymar it will be money gambled with high risk of failure. I believe it wou be better and less of a gamble to spend £60 clinching Ronaldo ex Red or not!

 

[carlos tevez is a blue]

Ramieres is a class act, most non-City fans would say he and Sandro are better than Barry, don't rate pubehead to be honest but the match-going rags I know think he's brilliant, Oscar's better than Nasri with the potential to be better than Silva, Neymar's just 20 and scored over 100 league goals.


Would love Tranny here but can't see us paying 400k per week or whatever he would demand.
