Mole_Toonfan Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 There's no point talking about PL clubs or anyone else as Neymar doesn't have that option. PSG are the only ones mental enough to pay the release clause so if he wants to leave that's his only option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 PSG haven't made it past the QF stage of the Champions League since 1995 ffs Saying 'without Neymar, PSG would have won last season' is irrelevant, they didn't win. They collapsed like a pack of cards to one of the competition's worst ever exits. The French league is dire, PSG don't ever challenge seriously in Europe - so what is he moving for exactly? To be the 'top man' at the club? Well if they aspire to be the best, then they'll sign better players... Will he throw his toys out of the pram if they sign someone better than him in 12 months? There are three better players in the world. Two of them plays at the same club as him right now. That didn't make sense at all. He is a player that can put them into challenging seriously. Lets not forget PSG have done better than PL clubs last few seasons. So what is your point exactly? At this moment in time, yes - but that can and will change. My point was that you should aspire to play alongside the best players in the world, not throw a paddy because you're not the best superstar in your team. I didn't say he should move to the PL, so not sure what you're talking about there. But it's a silly comparison anyway, the four PL teams don't earn a bye into the Champions League in the first place, they play in a competitive league to get in there as is noted by the fact that at least two of our 'elite' clubs miss out. You'll defend Neymar until the sun goes down as he is your national treasure, I understand that. But it doesn't change the fact that his move is entirely motivated by greed. Sure I don't agree whatsoever and has nothing to do with it being Neymar. Would be the same if it was Suarez or whomever in that situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 People acting like Messi isn't 30 and almost like he will hamper Neymar for the rest of his career Neymar is 25, even if Messi retires at 35 which I doubt he will. Neymar will be 30 by then and the highly likelihood is he'll either drop off like every Brazilian ever or replaced by somebody younger. So yes he will never be the main man at Barcelona.

Guest Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Trying to defend Neymar joining PSG for any other reason than chasing money ffs Aye, it's completely innocent moving to an absolute s**** standard of football (in comparison to where he could move) if he was genuinely unhappy playing every week for one of the best teams in the world. Poor little lamb must be so distraught having to fight the endless battle of playing alongside Messi. Remember when we could go to PSG and buy who we wanted?

I don't understand this mindset, he isn't moving to Anzhi or China. France is still a major league, PSG is a massive club that will definitely challenge in Europe (it baffles me that someone thinks a club that is already competitive in the CL with struggle after adding Neymar), Paris is one of the premier world cities, and Neymar is allowed to shoulder more responsibility as a leader while still getting world class cheques. I think it is a good move for him. If he doesn't desire to play second or third fiddle his whole career, what other clubs do you propose? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Are people seriously suggesting there could be more to this than the money? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Are people seriously suggesting there could be more to this than the money? It's obviously about the money, but being part of a project there will also be a huge influencing factor IMO. This won't be Robinho to Man City... Paris is a great City, he will be the highest paid player in the world probably, CL footy, he'll be the main man and the French League is of a decent standard. It's not a bad life for a 25 year old Brazilian... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 If I was Man Utd, Chelsea or Man City I'd go all out to get Neymar, even at £220m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Are people seriously suggesting there could be more to this than the money? Yes what's so funny? Ridiuclous to believe it's all about the money. Like Baba, Mole, HTT (partly) and I've said, there's far more things than only money. Hed be going to be the star of one of the best squads in the world or are you suggesting players like Cavani, Di maria, Verratti, Dani Alves, Motta, Thiago Silva aren't players of the highest quality?

Disco Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I can't begin to imagine how tough it's been for him at Barcelona. Being bullied into submission by an autistic midget.

Deuce Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 If Barcelona offered to match whatever PSG are willing to pay him, I think he'd still move to Paris. He's no chance of being the main man in Barcelona for the foreseeable future, whereas PSG is instantly "his" team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
