RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 https://www.fcbarcelona.com/football/first-team/news/2017-2018/comunicat-fc-barcelona-neymar-jr Quote The player Neymar Jr, accompanied by his father and agent, has informed FC Barcelona this morning of his decision to leave the Club in a meeting held at the Club’s offices. Faced with this position, the Club has informed them they refer to the buy-out clause of his existing contract which as of 1 July totals 222 million euros which will have to be deposited in its entirety. Furthermore, in reply to the claim for the contract extension bonus, the Club has once again made it clear that the amount remains deposited with a notary until the case is resolved. The player remains under contract at FC Barcelona but with temporary permission to not take part in training sessions. world gone mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,897 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Just can't understand it from any angle except for Neymar wanting more money. Joining a nothing league and a a club that are basically the Man City of France. No one really cares about PSG outside of France. They have no better chance of winning the CL than Barca do. I could understand if he went to another historically giant club like Milan/Juve/Bayern, but PSG? They'll win their weak league by 30 points and every season will be seen as a total failure unless they win the CL. I mean, they had Zlatan scoring bonkers numbers and they still didn't get that close to winning it. Were Barca just unwilling or unable to pay anywhere close to what PSG are offering him in wages?

Fernando 6,585 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Everton’s £50m move for Sigurdsson may be completed ‘within days’ https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/aug/02/everton-gylfi-sigurdsson-swansea-midfielder-callum-connolly-paul-clement This is getting absurd. Say what you want about the board but this market is crazy and they been doing good. We just need to put more trust in youth.

I think he doesn't want to be in Messi's shadow anymore, in PSG and even whole France league, he will be the main star. Although I also can't understand his decision, of course he will receive more money, but If I were him, I'd never go from one of biggest team in the world and playing with the likes of Messi, Suarez and Iniesta to PSG and weaker league. But wathever is said, this deal is huge and will be remembered for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sideshow Luiz 2,310 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 When Real used to buy new toys, you could get one of the old toys at a good price (Robben, Sneijder off the top of my head).

robsblubot 3,595 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 13 minutes ago, Henrique said: Pogba is a poor man's Kante. disagree. Very different characteristics: Kante has the work rate, but pogba has the technique. Combine the two and you would have an almost perfect mid (still missing the goals though). BTW, while kante's work rate can be very valuable to any side, I think refined technique is rarer, and consequently, more expensive. One could say Fabregas is poor man's pogba. I'm in the minority here as I think Fabregas cannot possibly play week in and out effectively replacing Matic (there was a reason Matic played).
