Might not be the decision that we all wanted, but I am happily the first to say THANK FUCK THAT'S OVER!!

[neel 257]

Yeah at last it's over

[Term-X 7,891]

Shame.

Clearly he lacks ambition.

[Henrique 9,133]

Close this fukcking and annoying threat, Neymar is staying at Santos, and signed a new deal 2 hours ago. Bruce Buck was in Brazil yesterday, and it wasnt enough. Neymar asked to wait until the end of Libertadores, in the end of next season.

Serious, if I was running Chelsea, I would never try to sign him again. Hope Santos will always regreet rejecting that kind of money for him. Fuck him and Santos. Now we should use this 30m euros to buy one or two players. What about Ashley Young ?

Another one slips thru

[Term-X 7,891]

If he's signed a new contract he will never leave, just imagine that release clause now.

If you want to be the best in the world, you need to be in europe at a young age.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Thank God it's over. Locked.

Sigh.. Here we go again...

Chelsea set to renew interest in Neymar despite player renewing vows with Santos

Chelsea, in a remarkable twist, are considering reviving their interest in Neymar less than a week after their second bid for the Brazilian striker was rejected and he signed a five-year contract at his club, Santos.

Chelsea target: Signing Brazilian Neymar remains one of Chelsea's summer transfer priorities

However, since then Chelsea have been given fresh encouragement that a deal for the 18 year-old could still be struck before the end of the transfer window on Aug 31.

A summit meeting was held at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday evening involving the agent, Pini Zahavi, who has been trying to broker a deal to bring Neymar to the Premier League all summer.

Zahavi was in the United States two weeks ago, along with Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck, to meet with Neymar's father, who acts as his son's adviser. He is understood to be unsure whether his son should stay in Brazil despite quadrupling his salary. This led to claims from Santos that Buck had 'tapped up' Neymar and claims that the club would complain to Fifa. Buck and Chelsea emphatically refute the allegations and no complaint has been made.

Zahavi was in Brazil last week to try to persuade Neymar to sign for Chelsea but, under severe pressure from senior figures in the country's football establishment, including Pele and the new coach Mano Menezes, he agreed to stay.

This also involved an increase in the buy-out clause in his contract from £29 million to £37 million but despite all this Chelsea are considering returning to the negotiating table with a new bid.

An offer of £17 million was flatly rejected in June and Chelsea last week offered £23 million .

Whether they are now prepared to increase that offer remains to be seen but the fact that Zahavi is still negotiating with the Chelsea hierarchy and in a dialogue with Neymar's father and Santos suggests that the deal is not dead.

It may well be that Chelsea are pushing to sign the player for the January transfer window which may appease critics and the public in Brazil. Indeed Neymar's decision to remain at Santos was even praised by the country's prime minister.

Chelsea have been trying to secure a so-called marquee signing all summer with efforts to buy Liverpool striker Fernando Torres floundering despite the Spanish international's advisers indicating he may be ready to quit Anfield.

Neymar is regarded as the hottest young talent in Brazil and despite his age and lack of experience there was an outcry when he was excluded from the World Cup squad.

He scored 14 goals in 19 league games last season and a further 11 in just eight Copa Brasil ties.

He is still quite slight and there are concerns he may struggle to cope with the demands of English football but Chelsea are confident he is a player who can make a big difference to them.

Chelsea are also keen to wrap up a deal to sign the goalkeeper Asmir Begovic from Stoke City before the window closes.

He is accused of refusing to play for Stoke in Tuesday's League Cup tie, as he did not want to be cup-tied, while Chelsea face competition to sign the former Portsmouth goalkeeper from Fulham who are looking for a first-choice to replace Mark Schwarzer who is set to join Arsenal.

To be honest, i'd love that Chelsea buy him...

But this is really becoming boring...

[Aria 19]

Please delete this topic and never bring it back, his buyout clause is probably beyond 200 billion pounds. He won't leave.

Neymar's a Future Blue

BRAZILIAN wonderkid Neymar will be a Chelsea player in the future - according to his new international agent Pini Zahavi.

The Blues recently failed with a £23million move for the attacking midfielder and Neymar, 18, signed a six-month extension to his 4½-year contract with home club Santos.

Neymar has also penned a two-year agreement with Zahavi to represent him outside Brazil, increasing his chances of a move to Stamford Bridge.

Zahavi told SunSport: "Neymar will stay with Santos but I'm sure he will become a Chelsea player eventually. "

"He loves Santos and wants to win the Copa Libertadores, South America's most important competition.

"But Neymar also knows that for his career he needs to move to a big club."

Neymar has a £37m release clause in his new deal. His possible move to Chelsea caused a storm in Brazil this summer with the likes of Pele campaigning for him to stay.
