Neymar

[conormcfc]

Apparently the transfer to Barca has been agreed and they'll announce it in a couple of weeks.

£22 million is the reported price. What a fucking steal. Snip of the century.

no chance it will be for a fee that low - Brazilian football has had a massive turn around with the clubs no longer having to sell players at a knock down price.

Neymar will go for a premium

Neymar is a strategic signing. So Barca president Sandro Rosell has taken command of the operation. In Brazil already take for granted : Barca and Santos traded from Friday the amount of the transfer for crack June, to announce preferably before the Confederations Cup . The newspaper 'O Estado de Sao Paulo' ventured yesterday even transfer the figure would be around 25 million euros, because the player only wants to go to Barça despite the ambitious attempt of Real Madrid, who would even reach 100 million! Still, 25 million suggested and although the player out of contract in 2014, sounding slightly.
The signing of Neymar is presented as a 'deja vu' for Rosell and for Barca. At that time he was vice president Rosell sports Laporta's board gilt and undertook to sign for Barca to crack that would change the history, Ronaldinho. That led to even management Rosell Laporta acclaim. In 2003 the 'Gaucho' also preferred to Barca instead of the top offers from Manchester and Madrid.
With Neymar, Rosell wants a replay of Ronaldinho. The final chapter is revealed by MD Friday's summit with Odilo Rodrigues, acting chairman of Santos. The event came together Rosell Josep Maria Bartomeu and Raul Sanllehí, vice president for sport and football executive director respectively. So far the club has worked signing protocol with appointments Neymar environment.
The desperate counterattack to Real Madrid Barca put on guard. No 'one-tenth', Florentino Perez throw the house out the window after a big coup for his next re-election as president merengue and has not given up with Neymar. A month ago the player left the club because Madrid made ​​an offer to Santos and crack far superior to Barca. Neymar influences in the decision, but also his father and his environment. A week ago the club maneuvered and the matter seems redirected.
The message is that the Nou Camp is not just for money but for playing in the best team. Neymar is very clear that at Barça Leo Messi is number one and that the club will not break their wage scale for any signing. Yes, in case your performance is of megacrack, Neymar has the promise that charged as such. If money is what matters most, then you go to Madrid to solve a historical urgency, as happened to Robinho. In the club, its growth will go with the computer. The player is to come to the Camp Nou. He seems to have understood what is best for him footballing. Rosell speaks more as a director than as president.

Oh dear, what a steal would that be if they indeed take him for 25 million euros.

Is he REALLY worth a lot more?? When I look at at Moura (£35m wasn't he?) for example- he's strong, hard-working and no-nonsense. Something I can never see Neymar being.

I'm certain he's Robinho 2.0

 

[spinzer]

22m could be a realistic prize because he doesn't want to extent his contract, and there is not alot of time left on the contract :) Might be cheap, but could also be a waste of money, only time will tell.

True that, only time will tell I guess. I'm always sceptical with players from Brazil but he will settle quite easily in Spain and Barcelona in my opinion. He seems better than Robinho was at that age though, isn't he?

I actually quite enjoy them mate...
no but seriously, he could just as well be a superstar as a complete failure. He hasn't really been good in any top level game as far as im concerned.

They will sell 25 millions of euros of his shirts in Brazil in like 2 weeks (exaggerating but it would be the bargain of such size)

 

[bloodyboutsa]

I think it would be ideal. Creativity, pace and someone who will take on players rather than just pass backwards would be what we need for City. But is Neymar the guy. he is supposed to be the best player in the World in a couple of years and sure going to Barca and Real will be his dream (longevity isn't there he will start whining and force a move to there, before he perhaps even hits his peak), plus he will most likely be sold for more than 45 mil to us, I would rather spend that on Bale, or even for 2 quality players!

 

[hertsblue]

Read a report that they are hoping Madrid buys him for 59 million but Barcelona wont go above 25 million. Your typical Barcelona action, say your interested, unsettle the player then offer peanuts compared to other teams and players head is turned and he only wants them.
Then 12 months later player moans about lack of games
