Neymar

[StretfordBlueReece]

Probably because we have spent £200m already this summer and £50m for Sanchez would be a better signing for City as we have 3 very young forwards and need an experienced head up front to take pressure from Sergio.

Neymar is experienced proven and young. I'd rather pay 190mil or whatever it was for Neymar rather than 50/60 million for Sanchez especially for a player in his final year. We'd get more out of Neymar now and in the future in regards of winning trophies rather than Sanchez. Money isn't a option. Just don't understand why he would wanna go PSG.

Would Arsenal be able to afford him at €140 m with Sanchez going back to Barca?

Now being reported that he is remaining in Barcelona for the time being (not on a flight to London), but very much destined for PSG).

Hmm, at TV company with it's own betting subsidiary releases a story which directly influences betting odd's. Nope, can't see a problem with that at all.......

New song if we play PSG

This is how it feels to be City
This is how it feels to be small
You signed Neymar Junior
We signed Ederson, Bernardo Silva, Kyle Walker, Mendy, Danilo and Alexis Sanchez

Don't understand why we're not in for him. Seems strange to me.

We were close to doing the deal last summer I believe but I now wonder if that wasn't a smokescreen for Messi.

Is this really happening? I thought he was nailed on to join the rags as it has always been his dream.

I think it was a case of either/or tbh. Let's not forget Suarez sacked Pere Guardiola at the time too. I think we pushed hard to get any of the 3 and failed.

Messi was probably the most likely. I had some rock solid ITK info on him last year, as someone I know directed a tv commercial with Messi for a few days and while I never heard City were in for him, Messi was openly cursing the Spanish govt and more importantly the Barca brass for not backing him better in the tax stuff. I'd say we were probably very close to luring him at the time.

We definitely moved for Neymar, as the early posts on the thread had sussed out. I think we tried Suarez too and that led to a bust up with him and Pere.

Looking forward to all the articles and posts from around the world containing the words
Clubs like PSG and Man City..

Ever since he was a little boy a voice told him added for completeness. :-)

Stinks doesn't it!

And to think they're allowed to take gets on cycling too.
