chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Exactly.25m players don't sit on the bench, no matter how old they are.Sheva cost £30 million and he kept a bench warm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace. 4,352 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 At the season begining, I'm not sure that he will start the big games like ManU... Because he hasn't got no experience.But i'm sure he will start against Fulham, Bolton, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aria 19 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I really hope he signs for us, but more than 25m would be too much, don't you all think?I mean he hasn't got any experience in Europe and his physique is very poor - all this could change, but 30m is a price for European top class players like Sheva (when he arrived from Milan, nobody expected him to flop). Or let's say Aguero or Balotelli...Does anybody know how much City paid for Balotelli? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Does anybody know how much City paid for Balotelli?Too much, I think he's massively overrated and that he's an arrogant, obnoxious cunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aria 19 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Lol yeah he's an arrogant idiot and overrated too, I'm just curious... it has to be a ridiculous price that City have paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Lol yeah he's an arrogant idiot and overrated too, I'm just curious... it has to be a ridiculous price that City have paid.£25million is the figure I heard last.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Term-X 7,891 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I don't know why people are critizing Neymar's physique, c.ronaldo was unbelievably skinny when he first came here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguelito 459 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I don't know why people are critizing Neymar's physique, c.ronaldo was unbelievably skinny when he first came here.i agree with that, u can teach strength and muscle by lifting weights and doing a lot of stuff, but u cant teach the insane skill he has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aria 19 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 £25million is the figure I heard last.. Lol that says it all about City's transfer politics I don't know why people are critizing Neymar's physique, c.ronaldo was unbelievably skinny when he first came here.Yeah, thought about that myself. Torres was like that, too.Still it's risky, don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torres was like that, too.Still it's risky, don't you think?yea it's risky but with players u gotta sometimes take risks and with players as skilled as he is, it is the type of player that u should and need to take a risk on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we buy him, too. Just the price shouldn't be too high, and I have a feeling Santos think they can push it as far as they please - I don't want us to spend more than 30m on an 18-year old striker with huge flop potential (and of course with huge development potential on the other hand, too).

BRMC 12 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I really hope we dont sign him. Unless Carlo is 100% sure on him and he will make the first team. Its way to much money to spend on a kid who could be benched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
