Neymar da Silva Santos

[Predator 114]

Yeah, somewhere like Valencia or Atletico Madrid. Hell, even places like Napoli or Roma would be better.

Ace! Was thinking the same, but if I were truly him, I would just stay at Santos.

No, he has to go somewhere where he's not the big fish otherwise he'll never learn that the world doesn't revolve around him. A few more years in a team where he is the best player and thus accommodated for whatever he wants, would make his attitude even worse.

Now that Guardiola is gone from Barca it will be interesting to see if Neymar does end up there. The one thing Guardiola had at the Catalan club was the utmost respect from everyone. From the president to the players, everyone went by Pep's word. Now there'll be a new manager, who will still get respect as coach, but he won't get the same level as Pep. Considering Neymar's ego, and how the spotlight is on Messi (always), it will be interesting to see how they handle Neymar's ego when the spotlight is not on him.

I wonder if Neymar will even do his part off the ball, which is a big part of the Barca philosophy. Off-the-ball work, rotating your position, intricate passing etc.

I doubt it, perhaps someone who watches Santos play often can clarify.

Looks like Barcelona want him now.

Barca vice-president Jose Maria Bartomeu did not hold back in expressing his desire to sign the player after the Olympics.

He said: ""Neymar? We would all like to see him joining after the Olympics. If he decides to come to Europe we'll try to make it Barça"

He is a ball wanker, I can't see him fitting in at Barça.

May be a ball wanker, but hes still an amazing player. Despite playing in Brazil I rate him in at least the top 10 players in the world. If you don't agree, I don't give a fuck, blow me.

At the Olympics I think he showed he is capable of working off the ball as Brazil pressed high up. He would fit in like a glove there tbh. Just can Barca afford it? Probably not. We could sign him but I honestly don't know if we will even bother. Maybe Oscar was signed for another reason too, hes been in Neymar's age group since they both started playing for Brazilian national teams really. Didn't Oscar not say he'd try tempt Neymar to join too? Hmm

If you can imagine Ronaldo playing the Barca style, you can imagine Neymar, otherwise...

They are very similar players, Ronaldo is much stronger though.

Btw, he will only leave in 2014. Chelsea, RM or Barca.

It's because he took a stupid run up.
