They are cheeky aren't they? They can benefit from the fact that he only wants to join them so they can lower the price as much as they want (doesn't mean Santos will do it of course). I have no idea what was going on behind the scenes, but I can definitely see at least Dani Alves talking to him 24/7. I very much doubt they'll get him for the price everyone is quoting.cmdub said:
Neymar

Neymar is so overhyped it's ridiculous. Look at all the big games he plays in and tell me that he's still that great of a player. For Brazil since he's moved to the senior side his play hasn't been spectacular by any means. Damiao has been playing better for them.
He's incredibly frail, he's selfish with his decision making, his passing isn't good, average workrate, less than average heading.
I would much rather have Cavani or Falcao.
All I think of when I see or hear about Neymar is Justin Bieber. Young, weak, a little fruity, so overhyped they need a new word in the dictionary for it.

Yeah, 20 goals in 32 international games and one of the best starts to an international career of all time at the age of 21, not spectacular.Clutch004 said:
You've watched him about twice, haven't you?
Damiao has been so poor that replaced by fucking Fred as well.

To be honest he would be worth his transfer fee in marketing alone, im not his biggest fan but he would sell shirts, think cause of that reason he would be worth a punt.

To write him off based on what was a poor performance against England is stupid - sorry but lets not kid ourselves here, No-one here on this forum constantly watches Brazilian football on a week in-week out basis - so we cannot judge him fairly.
In order for us to progress we will at some point have to bring in that marquee player, it probably won't be Neymar, but when the time does come people cannot dismiss a young player who will go on to become a global star in World football

Fact: In the Quarters, Semis, and Finals of the Olympics Neymar only managed a PK goal in the Quarters, nothing in Semis or Finals. And that's mostly U23 players, not prem league level.
Fact: In 2013, he has played in 5 games. England, Italy, Russia, Bolivia, and Chile. His stats as you would look at them was 3 goals in 5 games. Guess how I see it? He scored zero against England, Italy, and Russia. That's right, he got two against Bolivia (nobody) and one against Chile. So if we're playing against Championship sides in the FA Cup next year maybe he can score 10 goals in 5 games against them. Then we get back to the league and he can't score. What's also funny is Fred scored against all three big teams. Maybe we should buy Fred instead?
In 2012: Lets see the most recent ten games. You have: Argentina, China, Colombia, Japan, Iraq, Argentina, China, South Africa, Sweden, Argentina, Mexico.
Against the Colombia, Argentina, Sweden, and Mexico he has a whopping 2 goals, one being a PK. That's it...in 2 goals with one being a pk in six games against decent teams.
Against China (8-0 win), Japan (4-0 win), Iraq (6-0), and South Africa (1-0) he scored six goals in those 4 games. He didn't score first in any of them. He scored the 5th against Iraq, the 2nd (pk) and 3rd against Japan, the 2nd, 5th, and 6th against China. He of course did not score in the slim victory of 1-0 against South Africa.
So in summation, he can't score meaningful goals, he can't score against good teams. He's the trouncer of the baddies. Just what we need!
Thanks for the insult though. Maybe you should watch the games and not read newspaper articles and magazine articles showing off his haircut. It pays to analyze his goals a bit ;) Now how do I get the hat tipping picture?

Oh yeah, of those games I watched two of the three Argentina game (for Kun and Zaba), England (it was the most interesting game on), Colombia (because of Falcao, Martinez, Rodriguez), Italy (Balotelli), the Mexico Olympics final, and Chile just because it was best South American game on at the time. I don't like either team much. So I watched what, 7 of his most recent games? I live in the US so I bet I've watched more than you simply for the fact that I can watch European games and South American games at normal times.

I think Barca, Madrid, City, Chelsea, Psg to name but a few should replace there sporting directors with you, you obviously have a depth of knowledge unparalleled in world football!
Clutch004 said:
Oh and you admitting to living in the 'US' wasn't needed, the PK gave it away
Is that one to zip to Connor??? I think you should have a PK playoff to see!!
let the field goals commence!!!!
Aw, zero response to the fact that he didn't score goals against big teams.
Go figure you only responded to the fact that I'm from the US. Also, it was necessary to say I'm from the US because he said I watched "two games", but I know that most people from Europe would not watch the South American games because they come on at like 4 in the morning. I know this because I lived in Germany for three years.
So moving past the point that I'm from the US. How do you feel about the statistics that I posted up?

So you've watched Brazil regularly and you still think Damiao has been the more impressive player recently despite him being dropped months ago? Makes sense.
Zab and Aguero weren't even in the Argentina squad for 2 of those 3 games, so that's bollocks.
The Colombia game he was the best player on the park by a distance and scored a wonder goal to top it off.

If you had actually watched the Italy game you'd have seen how good his performance was, he tore them apart single-handedly. It was a performance which brought these quotes from opposing players/manager:
Even in the Chile game you say you watched, he scored again!
So forgive me for being skeptical.
Also, you made a sarcastic comment in another post about Neymar being great at beating shit teams:
Even if that were true (which it isn't), a player capable of demolishing the lesser teams is EXACTLY what we need. Our inability to beat bottom half teams is why we ended up so far behind in the title race.

Everyone that has barely watched him is, yeah.Pam said:
Whereas everyone that his seen a decent amount of him thinks he's world class. Wonder why that is.
