Can only go off stats. I don't watch PSG so often as to be able to comment on his week in, week out performances but the stats certainly suggest that he is nowhere near as lazy as some people think.

Hardly a glittering haul of trophies , one champions league and two Spanish league titles , anybody counting his titles in France needs a reality check .

We may disagree on this but you can't deny that he is a raving egomaniac.Can only go off stats. I don't watch PSG so often as to be able to comment on his week in, week out performances but the stats certainly suggest that he is nowhere near as lazy as some people think.

I don't know much about him to be honest other than he's a very talented player but rather prone to play-acting. From what I've seen, I'd be happy for us to sign him but wouldn't be gutted if we didn't.We may disagree on this but you can't deny that he is a raving egomaniac.

If he comes he’ll know exactly what it’ll intale.
Theres no chance he wastes the chance of being coached by Pep by being a Mared arse.
And Pep has already coached it out of Cancelo who was a bit of a dick in his first year
This is what so many people miss.
If he wants to play under Pep, he knows what it entails. You don't become the face of the Brazil team and the world record transfer by being lazy.
And even if he has an attitude problem, if you believe in the Guardiola culture that we all revere so deeply, then there's nothing to worry about right?
The stats were posted earlier in this thread. I have never seen him as a lazy player but was quite surprised just how much he presses.
Neymar works much harder than Messi and C. Ronaldo. In one of the games against us, he ran over 11km, more than any City player not named Bernardo or Rodri.
He's a fantastic player. If we don't want him it's only due to worries about ramifications wrt wages and playing time of the other attacking players. Also, our relationship with PSG is not the best possible. They may be wary of letting him move to us. It's complicated.

In 4 seasons at Barca he only won 2 leagues, 3 Copa Del Reys and 1 CL.Hardly a glittering haul of trophies , one champions league and two Spanish league titles , anybody counting his titles in France needs a reality check .
What an embarrassment Barca were in those days

Why is "Fuck knows" not an option in the poll?

He will end up at the rags, has them written all over it. They wouldn't think twice about paying him 700k a week and a big transfer fee on top. They may as well keep that huge debt topped up as there's no punishment for it

Haven’t seen one reputable journalist even mention Neymar, saying that though, a small (hopeful) part of me wonders why the rumour hasn’t been quashed yet… it swiftly was with Gnabry.

Don't they usually reach out to the club though, who in turn nip any false rumours in the bud?This thread has come this far and some are invested into Neymar yet no major city journo like Same Lee, Gaughan or Blackburn have commented anything yet.
He’s 30 until he’s 31.
But Jude will always be 17! ;)
Don’t think I’ve seen such a divided opinion on a potential signing since Bellamy and the doubters changed their tune as soon as they watched him in a blue shirt.
Do I think Neymar is a bit of a prick? Undoubtedly. Do I think he’d help put a nice big gap between ourselves and everyone else in Europe? Without a question.
The difference between him and Sterling in terms of technical ability is absolute night and day.
Kane was pretty damn divisive.
Grealish too to an extent. And he is yet to win anyone over, that wasn't already a fan at least.
Messi I'd say was divisive too, didn't have particulatly many against as such, but those that were, were pretty loud about it. Haaland was similar last year.
Like Kane and Messi, don't think we will ever really find out.
I believe what I see. I don't believe that.
From what I have seen of him when I have watched him, I do believe that. He worked his balls off agaisnt the likes of Bayern, us etc. He maybe loses interest in the French league, don't know enough to comment. He knows how to step it up when he wants to.

If PSG need him of the wage bill, get him on loan for half his pay and see how he does

There are probably about 4 or 5 other threads about players we have absolutely no links with.
Like those, this one will probably eventually descend into arguing about how shit our own players are, when the hoped-for links don't appear.

Because there is nothing to quash.
He’s said so in public many times.I'm surprised if that's true.
