Neymar

[JoeMercer'sWay]

no thanks.

 

[NQCitizen]

Only 4 players ever have reached 100 goals before turning 20

Messi
Original Ronaldo
Pele
Neymar

One bad game in the first friendly under a new manager shouldn't remove him from that company.

It's true to say he may struggle in England but to dismiss him as only good on YouTube is crazy.

 

[dachoosen1]

No for me thats not just based on tonites performance, I just think he would more suited to spainish football he is talented but I dont think the EPL would be the best place for him to shine.

 

[Tevez City]

I think Lucas Moura can be more useful than him.

 

[stavros]

I think Lucas Moura can be more useful than him.

watched him last night......WOW.

what a player he is.

Blank Cheque City for Neymar
Dinner in London between Txiki Begiristain and agent Pini Zahavi with a plan on the table to sign for Manchester City to crack the Saints
Laporta was also present

On Tuesday night, at the Cipriani restaurant in London, was a dinner between three well-known figures in world football: Txiki Begiristain, responsible sports Manchester City, Pini Zahavi, football media representative, and Joan Laporta, former president FC Barcelona. At the dinner they talked about football, obviously, and footballers.
But the big name that was on the table was a Brazilian ace Neymar (21 years), Santos striker who has 'controlled' FC Barcelona and, as has been told MD, has become the great Manchester City goal.

Last night, in my front room, I (chief financer of all football watched by my family) , my wife (head of catering for all football trips) and my eldest daughter (chief autographs and memorabilia collector) all sat and discussed football and footballers!

For what it's worth, we decided Neymar is shite and therefore we will not be submitting any bid!

Now incidentally, I am willing to take good money that my family discussion and eventual decision not to bid on Neymar will indeed be the course of events for the club rather than 3 blokes having a chip supper in a restaurant suggest City will bid on a player we neither need or is suited to EPL football.

I can certainly think of better ways for our club to waste £50m!

Certainly more collective sense in your front room than what seemed to have happened in the other place. If your wife makes a good balti pie then I would rather sign her!

 

[Blue Hefner]

Having not seen much of him, I've just seen him in the olympics and the 1st half last night, he looks nowhere near a 50mil player. The real Ronaldo, Tranny, Messi, Ronaldinho, Aguero, even Rooney to name a few all looked/were better than him at 20/21.
I'm sure he'll turn out to be a good player but proably not in the 'best ever' bracket.

It just seems to me that Brazil need someone to hype up and this bloke fits the bill. I don't care how many silly little flicks he does on YouTube or how many goals he scores in Brazil, having watched the defending, myself and Mrs Hef would be a half decent strike partership over there.

If City or anyone else want to spend a fortune on him then good luck. However just remember that all these 'new Maradonas/Pele' rarley work out, remember Saviola???

 

[ell]

He is far from shite but he is also far from being a £50mill player or a player on par with Messi

 

[sergiokun]

He is far from shite but he is also far from being a £50mill player or a player on par with Messi

Spot on not sure if he would make it in England he will end up going Barca for 30 million

 

[NQCitizen]

Was Messi or Ronaldo better than Neymar at 21?

Was Messi or Ronaldo better than Neymar at 21?

Or Bale, or Falcao, or all the other players the transfer forum is obsessed about.

He's an unreal talent who probably has at least 4-6 years of improvement in him.

Qualified people at our club won't judge a player on one friendly match where no one in the Brazil team except Oscar looked arsed. Players like Neymar have been extensively scouted and have the world's greatest teams drooling for a reason. He'd be a huge coup for us, yes he would need time to adjust, but could be the biggest signing we make other than Messi or Ronaldo.

 

[lancs blue]

From what I've seen in the Olympics and then last night Neymar doesn't look much of a team player, too much showboating and trying the spectacular. I think he'd be an even riskier signing than Robinho for the English game.

 

[without a dream]

He's class, pure class. He's also a diving, showboating prick but to slate him is just like the formerly popular slating of Ibra. I really hope we sign him, skill, excellent finisher and very, very quick, just what we're missing.

 

[Hart of the Matter]

I doubt anyone here knows how good or bad Neymar as a player would be in our team. Lots of people saying he is shit or he will do well could all end up with egg on Face.

As a product, at 50m, he is a steal. He is HUGE, worldwide. If he turns out half the potential he currently shows then even better. Mario gave us world wide appeal - this kid would take it to another level.

 

[m7mcfc]

Wheres the sign Fred thread?

 

[cmdub]

Still think he's going to barca but doesn't surprise me we're going after him. Still would question what we could offer that barca couldn't? Possibly him being the face of MCFC and for barca that's messi?
