Neymar

I reckon he isn't going anywhere.. not for that price.. it will be some club or agent tactic to cause issues with the transfer.

Neymar for 25 million, lol. Oh Bartha. Whack Messi on a plane, 35m done deal.

I believe Neymar has a deal with third party ownership which plays a huge part in where he goes as we have seen with Falcao transfer to Monaco

Brazilian star Neymar is the most marketable sportsperson in the world. The Santos striker has been placed ahead of the likes of Lionel Messi, Usain Bolt and Lewis Hamilton at the top of SportsPro magazine's top 50 most marketable athletes.

Just because he's gone past a few terrible defenders in Brazil, does not mean he will be able to do the same in the prem. Overrated. There's no way he could go past the likes of Ivanovic or Ferdinand

this is exactly true . I mean the kid has technical skill for sure, but in my opinion he is not built for the premiership, or italian league. He will get clobbered by the likes of stoke and will not be able to break many defences by himself.

while you can look at oscar and how he has a smaller frame and copes decently, he is still bossed around by good defenders in the PL. i honestly hope he doesn't come to city, we have world class players that have neymars features already, and can get much better players.

i believe there are many players in south america that are cheaper, and will surpass/equal neymar. to his credit he has done a spectacular job at santos

but he doesn't have one thing messi has: resilience to stay on his feet when defenders whack at his legs, and at the end of the day, that's a key attribute to playing in the PL

Former Santos Offical Vicente Cascione claiming Neymar is Bayern bound. His source is supposed to be 100% reliable.

Can't be true, right? What's the deal signing Neymar when you got Götze already?

Not really sure.

But it'd look like:

Ribery-------Neymar----------Shaqiri
------Muller-----------Schweinsteiger
---------------Martinez---------------

But what's the deal? If Neymar actually signs for Bayern they'd have 7 players for 3 positions. Shaqiri is a brilliant prospect who will need game time to further improve and I just don't see him playing with Ribery, Robben, Müller, Kroos, Götze AND Neymar as options up front.

Scary thought:

Ribery---------Neymar----------Müller
-------Kroos-------Schweinsteiger----
--------------Martinez---------------

Bench for midfield and attack: Götze, Shaqiri, Robben, Mandzukic, Gomez, Pizarro
On a second thought... maybe start Götze for Kroos. Götze on the bench would be wrong in so many ways.

Can see Gomez or Robben leaving. Maybe both? Cheeky bid for Gomez? He's a world class poacher. Maybe even more so than Dzeko.
