Deuce Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I remain unconvinced by him. He may be completely magical but think people are getting carried away potentially with him. I won't be shocked if he struggles his first couple years in Europe. Spain is a completely different beast than Brazil. That being said, he has looked just as dynamite for the national team as he has for Santos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I mostly remain suspicious of the Brazilian league and their paper defences. [enter Felipao] I would feel the same if he had not carried that form on to the international stage....In fact his record for Brazil is ridiculous considering his age.

Village Idiot Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Pretty much all his international goals are from friendlies. But, the fact that Brazil doesn't need to qualify for the WC hurts him in that regard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Shit player, sign Heskey instead he's killing it. I think Heskey is going to become my favourite player after seeing his 5 in 7. What a man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 VI is such a douche at times, he is very subtle, but its these 'Oh we only won by the odd goal today and didn't play very well', 'Oh, I'd be happy if we signed Neymar but I'm not sure.', 'Oh, we won the league, but not the Champions League, I'm so pissed'.

Tiresias Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I think it's his attitude that would worry most, some players have the ability to carry off ultra confidence, but will he handle being second best (maybe he'll get better than messi, but doubt it, which is by no means slagging him off of course) and work as hard as messi and everyone else at barca does?

TBH he was second best for almost two years behind Ganso, and that only seemed to make him better... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Messi doesn't really work that hard anymore i don't see him press nowhere near as much as he use to. Neymar would have to though, Barca can get away with Messi standing there waiting for the ball or dropping deep trying to get it but they can't have their wide players not pressing. But when i watch him for Brazil he usually does press off the ball when they lose it so i don't think thats the concern. My worry would be can Messi and Neymar be a partnership that works..... Villa and Messi works even if Villa doesn't score as much because the understanding is perfect of when to go in behind and when to drop deep etc etc. If Neymar and Messi get similar understanding then everyone is f*cked tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
