Skeletor Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Absolutely ludicrous. Our left back options are so poor. Unless Lazaar is secretly some kind of beast and is just waiting until now to unleash it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I think these loans between premier league teams has to stop I've just read that Chelsea could have six players on loan to other premier league teams which means six teams that will have weaker teams against them than anyone else, that can't be fair. They've been doing it for years, buying up talent and then loaning them out to the 'lower' teams. It never used to be allowed to loan players to teams in the same league - no idea why it changed.

Flip Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 All indications is that he's following the money. Think that's very harsh. There are numerous of reasons why he would leave, one is obviously money but there are even footballing reasons if he did. It's World Cup year and he's at his peak now and he needs to learn how to be the star of a team week in week out. Lets be honest, his best games for Barcelona have come either when messi has been out injured or invisible. He's at his best when he's the focal point of the team and at Barcelona he clearly can't be that as Messi is a superior player. He could wait and develop more, but I don't see Messi playing second fiddle in at least 3-4 years so for that reason i think it might be a good move for him. That said, I think he will stay.

The College Dropout Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Sanchez last season for Barcelona was really good.... and with the exception of maybe his first season - Neymar has been better than Sanchez ever was each season. Neymar is a class above. Sanchez is also likely to go to PSG. Seems like Dybala would replace Neymar. Again - really wished one of the PL mega clubs were in for Neymar. All this money floating in the league to sign the likes of Morata ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football 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 shite 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor little lamb must be so distraught having to fight the endless battle of playing alongside Messi. ? If the reasons I laid out aren't sufficient for you to believe it's not all about money then you are just being stubborn. Lets not forget that without Neymar, PSG would've beaten Barcelona in the CL. The league standard is obviously poorer, but the only move he could make from Barcelona in that case would be to the PL and clearly no one is willing to pay his release clause. Also don't forget he's 25 and the 3rd richest player in the world of football. He makes enough money already to become the richest of them all towards the end of his career. Hard to imagine this is all avout the money unless you mean wanting to go down as the most expensive player by far in history. Again, still don't see this happening.

Figures 1-0 Football 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?

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Nothing wrong with Flip is saying tbh, money is obviously one of the reasons but it's quite obviously not the only reason. People laugh off the Messi thing but it's genuinely something that could happen. Not every top player is Benzema and are happy to stunt his individual performances for another star player. Some want to leave and be the main man, which will never happen for Neymar at Barcelona. People denying this isn't a factor in some way are being very naive, as sport is full of stars breaking up as they want to prove they can do it on their own in history.

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.
