Other clubs' transfers

I remember him scoring for Hibs a few weeks ago in a friendly. Likelihood is he's probably been offered more to play non-league football than Scottish Premier League football. Sad how Scottish football has deteriorated.

Sounds horrific.

 

It is. The owner is the manager. He's some wideboy cockney arsehole.

 

Joey Essex or some other vacant cunt as the mascot. Free spray tans if you get botox at HT etc.

Just been reading about him. He's set up multiple companies which have went bust, has a steel company and waste management company. He tried to bury 6,000 tonnes of rubbish from his waste management company under the grounds of his Essex mansion.

His given name is Dickie, he comes from Billericay, and he's doing very well.

I think Chelsea don't let players go on loan unless they have x amount of years left on the contract as a minimum. If you don't sign you rot in the reserves.

 

Players need to stop signing for them. But money talks and players do develop and end up leaving for good careers.

Neymar's dad collects 26m from Barca on Monday as a bonus from when Neymar signed a new contact last summer.

 

Wonder how much he's going to make out of the PSG deal if it goes through as well?

I've seen €36m reported in our media. Ney's dad PSG sign-on bonus, that is.

Nice gig if you can get it.

[mrmojorisin75]

on top of all that money he got from the barca deal as well

[Village Idiot]

The whole affair, at the end of the day, is about money. If PSG follows through with the stupid amounts of money they reportedly want to throw at him, his father + the fee, nothing can keep him at Barça (we just won't match what PSG is offering him). Which is totally fine, I'm on record here saying that I don't fault footballers for attempting to make the most of very short professional careers, and I'm not going to change my tune because it happens to us.

imagine you lot trying to spend that 200m well

If we get Coutinho + Dybala out of it, I'll call it a success. None can replace Neymar individually, but it should lift the overall quality of the squad.

Again, very naive to suggests it's only about the money. I hope he leaves, just like 75% of the Brazilians who voted on a online poll. Why? Because it's the World Cup next year and he needs to lead a team week in week out as preparation for it and stop playing second/third fiddle as he's the star of the national team.

aye that would be a decent couple of replacements i suppose, something of that level

Of course it's about the money Don't buy this being the main man for a second. Even if it was true, what a fucking fanny he'd be for thinking like that.

[Village Idiot]

Yeah, that's just the excuse cooked up to make him look less money-driven. Again, I don't fault anyone for chasing the money in their professional lives. I'd do the same if somebody offered to double my wages. But don't sugar-coat it, please.

Me neither, it's a load of bollocks. Poor Neymar.

Thrown a right strop at Barca's training camp and clashed with Semedo apparently. Standard cry-baby antics from the petulant w***** clearly trying to engineer a move.

[Mole_Toonfan]

I think people are very naive to think money isn't the only factor, it's a factor but it's not only factor and it never is.

 

Also why is it strange for a player to want to be the main guy?  Football and in sport in general is littered with examples of this.

 

It's not anything new.

You're probably right. He fits the narcissistic prick profile who always needs to be number 1.

Ridiculous comment. Because if he stays at Barcelona and win tons at the end of his career it's all going to be because of him having played with Messi. I don't get it. Players never win, if they win everything with one team it's not good enough as they only made part of a system and didn't have the balls to move. If they move it's because of money. Let's be honest, the biggest argument against Messi when comparing to Ronaldo is the fact that he has only had success for Barcelona and not his national team and therefore has only been successful because of a system. I'm not saying that at all or even suggesting you said it, but there is clearly always going to be points made for both sides. Obviously money plays a huge role when players make decisions, but to say it's only about the money in this situation isnridiculous considerinng he's 25 and already the third richest player in the world and at this rate wilö end his career as the richest.

3-4 years not being the one and never having problem not being the one proves the contrary. He's at his peak and at some point he needs to make a move if he really has the ambition to be the best in the world otherwise Messi is going to be ahead of him until he is pst his peak as Messi isn't human and will probably play on for another 5 years at the highest level.

No matter what he does and where he plays, he'll never surpass Messi (or Ronaldo) in the best player stakes. Yes there might come a time when both Messi and Ronaldo are on the wane or retired, and he might be the top player in the world for a year or two, but that's about it. I could totally understand him moving for a new challenge, but even if he stays and plays second fiddle, it's not as if he won't be getting picked for Brazil man. Even if he's on the bench at Barca, he'll still be leading Brazil out at the world cup there's no doubt about that.

 

It's very difficult to gauge a player's ambition when they've already won what he's won, and have had the success he's had. Only Neymar himself knows what he really wants, and we can only speculate based on what we see from the outside.
