Neymar

Eww, I don't like Neymar, is the most overrated player actually. Thank God Barcelona has signed him.

Marca reporting Neymar to Barca is done, €50m transfer fee and €7m per year.

Will be announced tomorrow.

So Neymar and Messi in the same team. It'll be interesting to see how that works.

Just Neymar. Messi is coming to City.

Impressive.

I bet Nike are rubbing their hands with glee now Neymar is a Barcelona player, shirt sales galore!

Now lets see who they will offload to fund the deal.

He's only cost them 25m euros. They have 50m euros to spend in the window anyway.

The Neymar deal will pretty much self fund itself in my opinion, shirt sales and other merchandise are going to make Barca a lot of money.

The rest needs to go on a centre half

Not sure if this is the best move for Neymar. I felt personally he would have been a better fit in the Madrid team. I guess this is important for Brazil leading up to the world cup. He needs to get more experience. I wonder how he will cope with Messi. Both have huge ego's and demand to be the centre of the team.

I think the simplistic theory is that you wont be able to mark both of them so if you mark messi that frees up space for neymar and vice versa the problem is that in general they both like to occupy the same spaces of the pitch so it will be interesting to see if they can adapt their games around each other as they may just get in each others way.

What i find weird about this transfer is that it doesnt address their main problem of needing a central defender and another top striker which will probs be another 50m at least to that end you can see villa going and maybe pedro, the problem with alot of barcelona players i.e thiago and pedro is that they would walk in to any other team on the planet and the thrill of sitting on the bench for barcelona can only last for so long. If you assume they have a front four and 2 of those spaces are occupied by messi and neymar then that leaves iniesta, xavi pedro, tello thiago and youngsters fightin for very few spots and someone may have to go.

A centre back will be bought. Barca have a lot of players to offload, they can probably generate around €40m from player sales, which all be used on players.

They could start with selling us Thiago for 18mil. Please.
