Neymar

[Feroze 487]

I'm sure they don't want it. They hope such an offer will take time to appear. Santos want to keep Neymar as much as they can.

Santos is a great team. ( I dont care what some of you thinks, because people here don't care about what foreign people think about our football. Santos believe they are great, and so its what matter ). They want to win trophies - Campeonato Brasileiro, Libertadores, Mundial de Clubes - , and they know Neymar is necessary to achieve that goals.

Neymar will leave anyway, to Santos in terms of money it makes no difference if he leaves now or in 2014, but in terms of football it makes. As long as they keep him, the chaces of winning major trophies are bigger.

Agreed mate.. I've been watching Santos play for 3 years.. just cause of Neymar But yeah they can win all that and I'm sure they will most likely win the Libertadores... and will want to win the Club World Cup too next year if they win the Libertedoras... and Neymar knows he has to leave for his career. And yeah my point was considering Santos know he will leave they want to get the most out of Chelsea obviously.

Santos will try and milk us for £35 million + if they have any sense. Roman should table a £50 million bid for both Ganso and Neymar... that is something they surely they could not turn down?

[MetsajCFC 1,255]

Think we should do anything to get him, not sure about Lukaku though. 30 mil-ish for Neymar does make sense to some extent but 20-25 for Lukaku is something silly, let's hope for the best I guess.

Roman emperor will make him an offer he can't refuse

Ganso was meant to be going to Inter Milan for some £32 million. I wonder where all those rumors went??

He's been injured for quite some time, and he has still not recovered. He also had another serious injury before current one. He's a bit of risk, but I really like him.

Henrique will answer this better then me ^^

Sounds like he could be injury prone then... I don't like those types of players :unsure:

The news of this made my day. Come ON NEYMAAAAAAAAAAAR

£23m isn't bad at all. It's as much as SWP!

Do you like Torres?

Off course Santos will turn down Neymar+Ganso for 50m.

Thats why this is not happening.

[Feroze 487]

Neymar's release clause is around £39 mill and Santos only own 60% of the £39 The reason I definitely think Neymar is ours is because we've most likely structured a deal with the NIC group that owns the other 40%. I still think all we got to do is pay Santos the £23 million to them and he is ours. But this will happen after the Copa Libertedoras most likely, as he has stated time and time again that he wants to win that, which is why last year he decided to stay another year.

The 23m is just another fail article from the sun imo, surely Roman knows he will have to pay big to land Neymar.

Ah now that makes more sense

Premier League rules don't allow 3rd party ownership remember. So we'll have to buy out both sides. So we'll have to pay £39million O.o

Big risk. But he's 19. So worthwhile perhaps?

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Don't say that. You make Santos look like mercenaries. Brazilians are not supposed to sell their players in the first offer that appears. Santos don't want to sell Neymar, and the are not obligate to sell him because Chelsea thinks that 23m is a fair price.

So if Chelsea paid 50m for a overrated striker, its fair to pay more than 23m one of the "most marketable athletes in the world".

Fair comment.

But that's what I meant. They're under no obligation to sell, so they're well within their right to demand maximum price for the player, so that they can reinvest and remain a successful force in Brazil's league. I don't think anyone would criticise them for it.

Unlike how Benfica do their business..

Santos will sell if we offer 30m.

Yes correct we will be basically paying the full 39, which is why as I said we most likely structured the deal with the 3rd party (NIC) and have already sorted that out. So when we bid 23m for him, Santos have got to agree as it does reach the release clause because the other half has already been sorted with the 3rd party. It is a risk but believe me this player is going to be big, under the right guidance we may have one of the best player's in the world for the future. His vision, flair, speed, creativity is just all amazing. And only 19 as well.
