Hence the very high risk comment…

I lurk until I can impress @Shak in the golf thread or someone mentions Neymar.

Dan Burn against Neymar man. What a sight that would be. And pace would apprently kill him.

Wrong side of 30 doesn’t really apply anymore. Cristiano, Messi, Modric, Kroos, Lewa, Benzema etc all showed that you can play at the highest level until you are 34-35 as long as you can keep fit and have the talent. In terms of talent no one except for De Bruyne comes close in the PL (Haaland is another story). It’s obviously a very high risk high reward situation for anyone trying to sign him because of his injury record.

You are underestimating Neymar though. He’d be Chelsea’s best player by far and lift the quality of that side. If he could keep fit obviously.

As a Newcastle fan I’d rather see him going to Barcelona tbh

It was a red and I don’t think it’s even debatable tbh.

I meant you as in you Deuce

You don’t.

Anyone suggesting Bruno doesn’t get into that Real side because of the young guys hasn’t seen much of Tchouameni or Camavinga. Both are extremely raw still, and while both have enormous potential, Bruno definitely had a better season. Bruno would walk into that midfield now that Modric and Kroos are getting older. that being said, he shouldn’t be leaving us and neither will he. Hope he has another good season for us.

Based on last seasons performance?

Ridiculous fee.

Oh wow.

Had a poor season just like the rest of them. £40m for him is a fair price given his performances last year, but really thought he had much more to give. Turning 30 this year which means he’d probably have another 3-4 years at the top. Shame as he was unbelievable before last season.

Not even close to title contetion like. City is once again going to piss all over everypne.

Great signing. Straight into my fpl team.

Difference is Real are signing the upper echelon of talents like Rodrygo, Endrick and Vini while Chelsea are settling for the slightly less talented.

Thinking about it. Wouldn’t mind Paqueta.

filthy

Think so as well, but wanted to tread carefully in here

Joachim Andersen as cover for Schär and Botman would be fantastic business.

In terms of quality and coaching. Luckily, the manager is only here for the short-term. Think with Martinelli, Neymar, Rodrygo, Casemiro and Raphinha back in the team more quality will be added.

Problem with Big Joe is that Brazilian national team football doesn’t really suit him. He’s not really suited to play against deep sitting team as his best attributes doesn’t shine through. Definitely done enough to be an option off the bench, but Bruno is the one that should start next to Casemiro.

Dont disrespect her.
