Yeah but if we're not in for him then it's irrelevant whether he said he wanted to work with Pep.Still not Pep tho. I don’t remember Neymar openly talking about a chance to work with Tuchel ? Sterling has just signed.
I suggested Chelsea as a likely destination because if not us, then who? Chelsea seems like the most feasible to me.
If the trade rumour is true it means
a) PSG do want to get rid of Neymar
b) We were open enough to signing him that they put an offer of a trade in.
Now we may have rejected the trade, but as the transfer window carries on, if they still want to get rid (why would they change their minds) and we still want him (why would City change their minds?) then a deal could be struck.
Hopefully the British press pick this up and run with it because we know City have been pretty quick and definitive on shutting down nonsense rumours this summer.
If you believe the French media about the trade , then belive them that we will not sign neymar, no need for the British media to confirm it for you

Nothing in that article suggests we were actually interested. In fact it claims the opposite.
It suggests just as much that they approached us for Bernardo with Neymar as a makeweight.
You are probably right, might not be the last we hear on this.

I think out of this entire saga, the biggest load of codswallop that we've heard in it is the idea that Pep doesn't want Neymar. He might not want Neymar at a certain price, but he's exactly a Pep type of player. We're essentially where we were yesterday as far as I'm concerned.

There is likely a certain amount of gamesmanship that goes with these negotiations. There is little doubt that the market for Neymar, despite his quality, at his current wages, is zero. He isn't the guy that can carry a team to the CL, and because he has been in a weak league for the past 5 years, on a stacked team, it remains to be seen whether or not he can carry a team in the EPL. Despite all of this, I suspect that Pep would take him at the right price. That price would never involve Bernardo.

Where is that exactly? In a loopy transfer universe, nothing is what it appears to be. -:)I think out of this entire saga, the biggest load of codswallop that we've heard in it is the idea that Pep doesn't want Neymar.

It is not unusual for PSG to shit on their players through the Parisian media. And this has a whiff of that. 'Psg offered him to City, but City didn't want him and Pep doesn't want him upsetting the squad, look how shit Neymar is'.

That could read as though we will not go near Neymar with the figures involved.
If Neymar reduces his demands, or PSG agree to subsidise some of his wage to bring him in line with the rest of our players maybe the stance changes
For this much to reach the press, City will have been open to a conversation.Nothing in that article suggests we were actually interested. In fact it claims the opposite.

Complete article. Apparently they wanted a swap
Guess he was correct

Not sure why we think le Parisien would know what Guardiola thinks about having Neymar in his squad, so yes probably some posturing from PSG. Interesting, though.

Why? Maybe, ok. But do you really think City would have told PSG, never mind the french press that Pep didn't want him for this reason or that? There will be a fair bit of making up in that claim.
Yeah, I'd say we were more than willing to listen to a proposal, any club worth their salt would when it comes to a player like Neymar.For this much to reach the press, City will have been open to a conversation.
Imagine we had a figure in mind in which we may have thought the risk/reward was worth it then walked away when hearing his demands.
They worked together at psg & neymar talked favorably about tuchelStill not Pep tho. I don’t remember Neymar openly talking about a chance to work with Tuchel ? Sterling has just signed.

The only thing that @93.20blue did that makes it abit strange was make it sound like it was a done deal? Obviously there was at least conversations behind the scenes of a type but it was maybe in excitement pit across as a lot more certain than it seems it actually ever was?
Maybe it almost was but them wanting Bernie probably threw a spanner in the works.The only thing that @93.20blue did that makes it abit strange was make it sound like it was a done deal?

Everyone made a big deal of it not being reported by the media, now it is they are trying to throw shade on him because it's not a done deal. I genuinely hope he doesn't stop posting but after the shit he's had on here he probably won't bother in future
Or maybe the Twitter news are not true or outdated? How many times did this happen just this transfer window. Maybe, there is much more going on behind the scenes as we speak.The only thing that @93.20blue did that makes it abit strange was make it sound like it was a done deal?

Agree. 100% whoever quoted that made it up - that's not the sort of personal opinion that would be shared at this stage of negotiations.Why? Maybe, ok. But do you really think City would have told PSG, never mind the french press that Pep didn't want him for this reason or that? There will be a fair bit of making up in that claim.

Couldn't care less about Marketing. That strategy continues to fail for United. Big names, huge ego's and imploded dressing rooms. Where did Ronaldo get United? From 2nd to 6th!Haaland is superstar in making just getting started, Neymar is another level. I mean look at his follower in Instagram only at example, he put all player including Haaland to shame.
Marketing wise our club will get alot of benefit if we can get Neymar to our club, a market and possible new fans from south america audience will be huge boon for our club.
Couldn't care less if we are more popular on TikTok and Instagram. We are a trophy winning machine because we aren't doing what United are doing. We buy what we need to buy to fit into our team. Haaland will come here and work for the team.
Neymar will come here and demand the earth. No thanks.
