themanupstairs Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Grew up dreaming of playing Angers at the Stade Raymond Kopa I heard. Definitely not for monetary / retirement reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
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?

Yorkie Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 What went wrong with Goma? Have vague recollections of him being a decent defender; Wiki says he left after a dispute with the club. What was that all about? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 He thought Fulham were being more ambitious at the time - which, at the time, was reasonable enough view. However, fuck him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi 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? 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. Let the poor bairn free to be the main man you heartless bastards, he's suffered enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
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...
