Neymar

[Shaggy]

It's totally insane and changes everything. Sickening really isn't it.

[ntto]

I assume Barca will be asking for it all up front

find it so bizarre how Suarez is constantly disregarded by Journos' all i read is Barca's struggles having 2 out of 3 of the best players in the world i.e Messi & Neymar

I would take Suarez over Neymar in a heartbeat.

He's miles better than Neymar.

I said it when Barca went out of the CL - and I still think it. We should offer them £80m (minimum) for Suarez. They're rebuilding, have a fortune to spend on the likes of Dembele, Dybala and others. They'd love £80m-£100m for a 30 year old and he'd win the league for us.

****ing mental this - love the fact he's holding out for a loyalty bonus too

I read an article that said the crux of this is that to fulfil his potential Neymar has to become a World Player of the year to be held in the same esteem as Brazilians such as Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, (Origninal) Ronaldo etc. The problem he has at Barca, is that he will always play second fiddle (at least) to Messi. So to attempt to achieve the acclaim he needs to move.

lol - the crux of it is 50000000000000000000 euros a week

but if it is to get away from Messi's shadow then it might be worth someone letting Neymar know that PSG have never had anyone playing for them place in the top 3 for the world player/balon d'or

[Phoenix07]

All the talk as well about Neymar becoming a World Cup Qatar 2022 Ambassador as well. It stinks.

[Maxiedge]

Of course it's about money. No-one watches the French League so he'll be hard pressed claiming the Ballon D'or

Thats true, the bit that doesn't fit at all is his choise of destination club. I suppose the problem is that probably only PSG and Man City can pony up the insane amount of cash from their (Oil) reserves.

There is no way that PSG can have that cash in the bank and comply with FFP.

According to FORBES:

Team Value1 $841 M (€775 M)
Revenue: $578 M (€521 M)
Operating Income: $92 M (€83 M)
Debt/Value: 0%
Match Day: $134 M
Broadcasting: $179 M
Commercial: $394 M

Baring in mind (pre Neymar) their staff costs were 56% of turnover in 2016.

What a penis.

They might as well can FFP, hasn't worked. Ludicrous to suggest otherwise.

This is why when this deal goes down PSG players are ripe for selling. They need to sell if they've any chance of FFP not coming down hard on them, again.
