Neymar

I actually believe he for a couple of years would be great under Pep? Mutual respect, Pep would make him work hard etc and it could be fun to watch?

I agree. Think he gets unfair criticism on here.

I don't think he'd be toxic and if he was he'd be chucked out on his ear.

I think it'd be very different t getting Mbappe who would be impossible to control I'd say.

Seems like other PSG players don't mind him. Messi is a fan. I think he would be a great signing for a couple of years. Would bring a lot of creativity to the midfield.

I’m afraid I dont believe it. First thing you need to work with Pep is a modicum of humility. The Neymar of five or six years ago, maybe. Not this one.

Not entirely convinced by that mate as don’t forget pep wanted Pogba as well?

I don’t know who said Pep wanted Pogba. Was it the press? Neymar is the last player City would sign. Pure poison in the dressing room.

Loads of skill and really talented but he is a fucking demi god for his fans. Maybe pep can inject his philosophy and humble him a bit , there’s a world class player in him .

 

[Ghostofmerlin]

He's so much more of a team player now than he was then. It's Mbappe that has been the prima dona lately

Pep wanted to sign him at Barcelona and later at Bayern, reportedly. Has spoken in glowing terms about him as late as last year, even with regards to his personality, which isn’t something you hear often. One of Neymar’s most underrated qualities is how tactically obedient and astute he is. I’d give him at least half a semester with Pep to see how it works before moving him to NYCFC, if the rumors are indeed true, and if such arrangement could be possible.

It was talked about and @tolmie's hairdoo said Pep was up for it as well mate

No way would Pep entertain his prima Donna antics. Witness Cancelo, or Sane. Both fantastic players, but the former was (allegedly) a poisonous/toxic/disruptive (you choose) presence in the dressing room. And the other engineered a move away from the club. And go back to Pep's time at Barca. Ibrahimovic, Eto'o, Ronaldinho, Deco; all of them fairly forceful figures. Pep sold all of them.
