Do people going on about the Brazilian league being shite realize that this guy has 19 goals in his first 31 international games? For a player just turned 21 that is fucking outstanding.
Messi/Ronaldo aside, there is no single attacking player on the planet that fits the bill for what we're looking for at the moment more than Neymar, and considering the 2 players mentioned don't even play out wide any more I probably wouldn't count them either. Every attribute we lack as an attacking force, he has.
The only goal on his CV that isn't against a B Side or team in the top 10 is against Germany. His goals include USA B-Sides, China, Iraq, Costa Rica.
The level of competition just isn't there.
