Henrique 9,133 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I think Neymar is off to Barcelona cause on the Revista La Liga - Week 9 show, at the very end, Guillem Balague says Barcelona have already given Santos a €10m payment for the eventual €40m signing of Neymar.Balague also said that this deal basically gives Barcelona until 2014 to go and sign Neymar.I know he could be wrong about this...but Barcelona have even set aside €40m in their publicly visible financial documents for an 'intangible, unmovable asset'...and by the looks of things, that asset could be Neymar.Bullshit. Every season the spanish media come with this kind of news. Dont forget that one year ago they were reporting Neymar was already a Real Madrid's player, even saying things like "Mourinho asked Neymar to change his hairstyle".This season there was the talk again, but now about Barcelona, nothing happened, and now because they probably realized that Neymar is really staying in Brazil untill 2014, they are creating stories about Neymar being a Barcelona's player bul will join them in 2014.Neymar has a contract, so he only can sign a pre-deal with another club when there is only 6 months before the end end of the current contract. Spanish media is reporting that Santos has to sell Neymar to Barcelona in 2014, or pay them huge amount of money, but that just doesnt make any kind of sense because in 2014 Neymar will a free agent, why in the hell Barcelona would buy a player and only gets him in the same season he become a free agent?This will be the best deal ever for a club: Santos keeps Neymar untill his contract ends, and still gets millions after this.

Jype 6,398 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Almost joined chelsea! .Although its not clear he meant it for this summer or before.http://www1.skysport...medium=facebookHe was talking about the summer of 2010 when Neymar was only 18 years old and the media hype surrounding him wasn't anywhere near like it is today. Back then he came very close to joining Chelsea and the deal was all set but Neymar backed out in the last minute and decided to stay at Santos. I suppose we were after him again in 2011 but he had already made up his mind to stay in Brazil until after the World Cup in 2014 and then he's probably going to Barcelona. Last year we got Mata instead of him so I'm not too disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 It's good to get confirmation that the 188 pages we made this thread go to actually had some truth to back the potential excitement . I remember that window so well.. All the rumours, all the changing of minds. Incredible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd have been loaned out about 9 times to Bolton, Fulham, Sheffield Wednesday and Vitesse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 who would be better Neymar or Falcao?Neymar surely would be the better long term solution, as Falcao is already 26 and no-one knows he'll get better whereas Neymar's best is yet to come.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I would pick Falcao/Cavani anytime ahead Neymar realy. They are just clinical finishers, while Neymar is creator and we have plenty of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 In this Chelsea team, Neymar would be unbelievable and this Chelsea team will be just ridiculously talented. No matter what anyone says, Neymar in THIS Chelsea team is just more than a dream. Defences up against Oscar, Hazard, Mata and Neymar would dread playing us. It's a true dream team.

It's a true dream team.In PL, its good to have at least one clinical finisher ala Rvp or Aguero. Who is such type of player that you mentioned above? Where is aerial ability and some direct play if plan A wouldnt work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Short passing football through middle is our plan A. But we need to execute it properly with deadly finisher in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
