eldo 868 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Are we really going to judge players on their physical ability? I certainly hope not.... Yes Lukaku does look a top prospect, but could just as easily flop as Neymar. Physicality means squat, the player needs to be technically capable. In my opinion it is things like that (judging a players potential on physical ability) that is holding this country back on producing young players. All across the country on a Sunday afternoon you will see teams play the biggest, strongest players to have an advantage whilst the smaller more technical players are marginalised. Frank Nouble excelled at Chelsea at an early age due to his build, now he has moved up and playing a mans game he no longer has that advantage.Give me a McEachran over a Nouble every day of the week. A look at Chelsea's academy now will show you the clubs philosophy, focusing on the technical ability rather than physical.Yes, people only see how big Lukaku is, but he also has an incredible technique. He is big, but he has that in his genes, his parents are not tiny. Drogba is strong and big, but he also has very nice technique. My opinion on Neymar is that how good he is we will only see when he comes to Europe, to any league.He is making fools out of those Brazilian defenders and goalkeepers, because they are not the brightest.They just don't know what to do, goalkeepers stand and similar things.Henrique he will probably win the award because he is a Brazilian?

DYC. 7,542 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 If i could choose i would pick pato ahead of neymar all day long i think when it comes to movement and finishing pato is better.I also think someone at the club obviously does not like fabio borini because if neymar were to come it would be bye bye fabio !That's like saying Drogba's finishing and movement is better than Malouda'sPato is a striker and Neymar is a left attacker. So Pato's finishing and attacking intelligence Should be better than Neymar's. Pato is also two years older and would cost us 20-25 mil pounds more by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neel 257 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 If this deal does not go through then I wont blame Chelsea for that. We have so many conflicting story but one thing is apparent that our club tried everything they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 This is very special talent and the people in charge at Chelsea would be fools not to get him. He actually seems interested in a move to our club but is scared of this move harming his development. Don't blame him at all. A move to Chelsea right now, would mean a place on the bench for him. Our more experienced players simply get played a lot more. Not attractive for youngsters at all. We have a great great talent in our squad right now and he wasn't even on the bench against the easiest opponent in the league at home! The place where we are at our absolute best and goals just fly in. We were destroying them and instead of bringing in the youngster Sturridge, who can use all the game time he can get, the coach brings in Kalou. A player I personally like but is simply not good enough for Chelsea and only should be brought on as a super-sub or play in emergencies. He is not going to get any better than he is right now so him coming on instead Sturridge, who is very young and has a lot of potential, was a absolute shock. Especially after a great performance against Man Utd.If it was up to me I would pay the money to trigger the clause and loan him back to Santos for two years, maybe three. He gains experience and by that time our starting attackers will be very old so starting instead of benching will be more likely.Everybody happy !If the club handles the youngsters in the right way, Next-Gen Chels could be great (CL-winning) side. And more importantly, a far more entertaining side !CechNew player Ivanovic Bruma Van AanholtMikel/Ramires MaticKakuta/McEachranKakuta/Sturridge Sturridge/Lukaku Neymar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoFear 23 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 What we are looking for is a player who can take defenders on, a la robben !! Neymar has bags of skills n tricks to do that. I do not understand why people are even saying they would prefer Pato or Lukaku. They are not what we want. They are strikers !!! And its about time we took a risk on one of these so called potential superstars. Even if he flops, we would still be able to sell him for a reasonable price considering his age factor n all. so i say, GET THE KID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubber bullets 1,183 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 To be honest this is the only chance I think we will have to sign him. If we don't then either in a couple of years time he would start attracting attention from all the top clubs including Madrid and Citeh, which means we won't try to compete in the bid battle. Or he will have that so called contract upgrade which would rise his buy out cause to about £40 million, and as we know the board would simply not go up there. Especially as we have not even been in £20 million+ deals for years after Shevchenko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Cool 388 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I wont discuss this, Newcastle is a fucking shit, and we have at least 5 or 6 clubs that are much better than all this garbage like Fullham, Wigan, Stoke, Bolton...Listen to this and ten years from now rememer what Im saying right now:- Neymar will be elected the best player in the world at least two times, and will be a football legend.- Rooney, Lukaku, Pato, Aguero, Ozil wont get any of this awards.You are an idiot, again and again you spout shit that clearly sums up your knowledge of English Football. When Rooney was around seventeen, Newcastle constantly finished in the upper half on the league, so they're fucking shit? Oh, Wigan, Fulham, and Bolton are shit are they? You're forgetting that we were easily beaten by Wigan 3-1 last year, etc. You constantly say things that reek of fucking stupidity like this (I remember one time you said you and your mates could score against Portsmouth's back four). Well if you can, stop talking shit and go out there and play! Idiot. And how are so sure Neymar will become a football legend? There's been plenty of "next greatest footballers" and there's been plenty of flops who couldn't cut it for the top sides. 30 million quid for an unproven youngster is ludicrous and if they really want us to pay this much, then we should be looking at Lukaku, who is much cheaper and is, in my opinion, the better striker.
