If we get Neymar only question would be City or Chelsea for title. Instantly ahead of everyone else. 

In the highly unlikely event he came here I would be very skeptical about how he’d fare in the PL where he’ll have loads of clumsy defenders hacking him down and battering him at every opportunity. It would be like Hazard but worse because Neymar isn’t powerfully built like Eden was.

I can’t see him casually dancing through entire teams like he can do in Ligue 1 without being fouled into oblivion.

We would be getting record penalties for sure, Neymar dive is world class, he can go down as if he was shot with a gun instantly.

I wouldn't go that far. He'd instantly be the best player in our squad by some margin, but his attitude and injury record wouldn't make me feel confident in his ability to deliver regularly.

And let's be real too Premier League officials hardly protected Hazard when he was here. Neymar would get butchered.

What would it even cost for PSG to sell Neymar? Feels extremely far fetched that we’d be able to afford him and Caicedo. And equally as far fetched that we’d pay his astronomical wages when we’ve just worked so hard to trim the wage bill.

As usual when Neymar rumors start up (which is literally every window) our name gets dropped simply because these journalists can’t make it make sense for any other club. 

The rumor from earlier today that he’s keen to return to Barca seems closer to the reality than Chelsea.

I think it's clear that Boehly and Co. are dying for a marquee signing. It's just a matter of when rather than if.

If Nkunku is out for a long time we 100% NEED another goal scoring attacker. A RELIABLE goal scoring attacker. So Olise should be avoided since he’s fucking injured, too!

Our marquee attacking signing and the one I was most excited for injured before we kick a ball in the PL. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

This was bound to happen even before we started the pre-season. Intense physical training, players wanting to show their best, playing pointless game on some potato field, it happened many times before, the only question was which of key players will be out for months, on the positive side, this time it's hopefully not career breaking one a'la CHO or RLC.

Wow, awful news, he looked so slick. That pitch was horrific. Genuinely gutted.

No imaginable way of seeing a silver lining here. If it is atleast a couple of months it means it is not just an isolated partial tear but a more complicated injury. No matter if we sign someone now or not, Nkunku is irreplaceable. He is the best in the world at what he does. Feels like another doomed season already. Can’t see us even coming close to top 4 now

Time for Mudryk and Chukwu to cook
