Neymar

[Clevemayer 764]

This is not true ... Neymar is one of the main players of the Brazilian team while Kakuta is a promise ... Neymar is better than Kakuta !

this is just stupid sry. we wont get furios and angry with each other but i can't hold back anymore. Neymar is an skinny fast attacker, Kakutas Physis is much much better than his, this is a FACT.

as much as I don't want to say this, but Term-X is RIGHT. Kakuta isn't a promise any more, its not the name you hear insiders whistle about, this boy could be a finished Prospect by the End of THIS YEAR... Kakuta has anything... skill, shot, quick feet, speed, physic, the eye, the timing, the unlocking pass and the selfconfidence, I mean what should this little boy do else to convince everybody hes worth despite being MotM for the games he was playing thus far, leading his nationalside to glory and being the golden player of the tournament?

There is NO WAY i would give Kakuta away for Neymar, not in a million of years. Kakuta will be the next Maradonna and if McEachran is treated well and wisely he will be the next zizou, Connor Clifford could be the next Lamps and Kaby the next Deco plus we have Mikel who is getting better and better, alongside Essien and Ramires, we dont need an unproven skinny fast attacker. OK this is wishfull thinking, but hey who knows. OK so he COULD be Worlds Fottballer of the year, who cares? Kaka was too. This is 35 MILLIONS for an 18 YEAR OLD BOY... nothing else he is an BOY, Kakuta who is thought of the next big thing on this Planet (fingers crossed everything goes well with him and he progresses like he does) didn't cost that much, its a SILLY Amount, I'll say Agüero over Neymar ANY DAY... I'll put that 5 Millions on it and buy this great great Striker thats better then Neymar than taking any risk to buy someone whos gonna be a flop in may be 5 years for 35 Million...

so i know hes the NEXT PELE, but how many players does brazil produce that are the next Peles? Robinho, Neymar, carlos chera?

sry i think many of us here has gone crazy about this boy...

greets...

It kills me to say it, but Kakuta won't get more games than Kalou this season and Neymar would replace Kalouless.

Unless Kakuta makes a huge impact in a carling cup game he won't be able to.

there has been links with him and Bayern Munich in recent weeks. I so hope he doesn't go and he stays here.

mind you, Kakuta might have to try and shift Malouda out of the side, and that's not going to be very easy to do judging his efforts against West Brom on Saturday.

He is starting tonight according to Globosporte.

Apparently.

Okay, as far as I'm concerned this is a dead thread. If there any developments, PM myself or another Mod and it will be re-opened.

Until then this topic is CLOSED.

[DavidEU 2,023]

Personally think this should be left open Alex, just on topic.

Its still ongoing and open for debate.

Chelsea set to make final £25m Neymar offer

Chelsea plan to step up their pursuit of highly-rated Brazilian striker Neymar by tabling a £25 million take-it or-leave-it offer with Santos in the next 24 hours.

Representatives of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich are currently in Brazil attempting to resolve an escalating row over the 18-year-old who recently made his debut for the Selecao.

Chelsea had a £17 million bid for Neymar rejected last month and are set to follow it up with a £25 million final offer, but that still might not be good enough as Santos are holding out for the £29.6 million buyout clause in his contract.

The Brazilian giants won't budge from their stance despite Neymar - who has publicly expressed doubts about leaving - privately informing his club that he wishes to join Chelsea.

According to Soccernet sources close to the deal, the economic rights of the player are owned by investors, who believe that they need to persuade Neymar to sign a new contract because his value has already soared to beyond his buyout price.

An insider told Soccernet: "There is a big fight still on to convince Santos to part with the player. There is strong pressure on the boy to stay.

"In the next few days we shall know one way or the other whether a deal with Chelsea can be achieved."

Chelsea have been caught up in an amazing tug-of-war for Neymar, with Santos threatening to report them to FIFA for tapping up the striker.

But the source said: "The President of Santos had dinner with agent Pini Zahavi and the people from Chelsea. How can that be tapping up?

"The boy was forced to go onto Brazilian TV to say he wants to stay with Santos, when the truth is that he wants to go to Chelsea."

Daily Mail

Wagner Ribeiro admitted that Neymar was torn between joining one of the best teams in the world or staying at the club he loves for a few more years.

'The numbers offered by Santos cannot be compared with Chelsea,' said the agent. 'But Santos put together a wonderful career strategy for Neymar.

'I've never seen anything like it, but his family are the ones who will make the decision. Leave and he will achieve economic independence, stay and he can play for the team he supports.

'Neymar and his father have personality. They know what they want and will decide. The father has been a player and did not realise all his dreams.

'You can only become the world's best by playing in Europe, but there you also play with the best in the world"

And now The Independent are reporting that Chelsea officials are considering withdrawing their offer: Source

Also mentions the other Brazilian targets, anyone have any idea of the other young players Buck was referring to?

[chrismada9 1,948]

I am strongly getting the distinct feeling that he won't be joining us this summer. I think that Santos are demanding way too much money for the player. Besides, we have the likes of Sturridge and Kakuta on our books at the moment who are next to good enough for this season. It won't be the end of the world if Neymar doesn't come to us.
