Neymar

I really, really can't see him working with Mancini.

Mancini doesn't seem the type to bed in nor look at young, inexperienced players that has never had their hands on European football for his first team squad.

Neymar isn't really new to the international scene. The Copa America is as competitive as any European competition IMO.
 
After watching him in the Olympics, he dives too much for my liking. However, he is such an amazing player that I really think we should move to get him. He may be expensive, but we should be able to bring him in.
 
He is very VERY soft. I would like to contact Vincent and the boys and tell them to kick fuck out of him regularly in training to toughen him up and tell him diving is unacceptable.

Diving and feigning injury is the worst part of this sport. I'd rather see someone punch another player than dive.

All being considered; I think to market Mancheser City into a brand as big as the others, we have to sign Neymar or someone like him (might be over the coming decades if we don't get Neymar...patience is a virtue).

"Coming Decades". Unfortunately for us, FFPR says we have hurry this progression.
 
Guillem Balague noting that barca have already paid part of his transfer fee ahead of signing him after the world cup is over. Don't understand why he wants to stay at Santos this long.. their a mid table squad in the Brazil league... I know he's paid well but there's 0 challenge for him there.

I think this whole Barcelona thing is a myth to be honest.

In wide positions - which is where Neymar plays - Barcelona have Sanchez, Pedro, Villa, Iniesta, Tello, Cuenca and Fabregas when Xavi is playing central.

Now some of them players were bought for big money, and some of them players are from the academy whom are either world class already or on their way to becoming a top class talent.

They will have to sell a lot of them players not just to find room for Neymar but also to fund Neymar's fee. It is notable now due to the Spanish ecenomical crisis that Madrid and Barcelona have to sell to buy as the banks will not lend them huge amounts.

Plus, Neymar will want to play every week, do you really see notably Iniesta, Villa Sanchez or Pedro on the bench being happy? Barcelona won't want team cohesion forfeited because some of their already world class talents have to make way for the next big thing.

It is the same with Madrid, Neymar plays exactly where Ronaldo plays, plus, look at their riches in midfield.. he won't be going there in my opinion.

Shall we make a bid for Iniesta? haha

---------Falcao--------
Iniesta--Kun/Tevez---Silva

It is good to dream.........

I don't see Barca having a problem getting Neymar in 2014 one bit.

They will probably offload Sanchez anyway.

Xavi---Busquets---Iniesta

Pedro----Messi----Neymar
 
I'm sure Villa will leave Barca after this season. And Alexis could be next.

They will never get their money back on Sanchez, I am so glad we got Kun instead.

Barcelona have bought quite a few players in the past 5 years that have proved to be way off value for money, 50m plus Eto for Ibrahimovic springs to mind, and football fans say we are ruining football buying players for stupid amounts and inflating the markets, just stupid.

Sanchez is on Liverpool's radar isn't he? Villa will end up somwhere in the PL or Italy no doubt.
 
Villa can still do a job and I think he will be a very good fit at Liverpool. I don't see them cashing in on Sanchez just yet, but they could still get very good money on either Busquets or Fabregas to fund the Neymar deal.

Fabregas is Xavi's replacement and Busquets is better than Song in central midfield, they won't want to replace him. You have to remember that both Fabregas and Busquets have been at Barcelona since they were kids, even if Fabregas had a stint at Arsenal - that sort of team chemistry cannot be bought, do you really think Tito will want to forfeit that? Sometimes team chemistry is better than having all the skills and powers in the world.

If you watch the Spanish football coverage or Revista on SKY, there is a lot being made of Pep's Barcelona which is defined by Xavi and Tito's Barca which will be defined by Fabregas.

Fabregas can't play in Xavi's position. He hasn't once succeeded in that position for Barca, and I don't think he will. Thiago or Samper will end up replacing Xavi. Fabregas' best position in the Spanish game is behind the striker or at least attacking mid, which unfortunately for him is more often than not occupied by Messi.
