Neymar joins PSG on a five year deal

Silently hoping this will happen and completely bury this overpaying for Pogba nonsense because this will finally be a substantial example of how to do it.
 
Was wrong about Morata iirc and now this. No club is going to pay this kinda dough for one player, no matter who it is.
How was he wrong about Morata when Mourinho himself confirmed we bid for him?
 
This is not happening and I haven't seen a single proof of the alleged 222M clause.
All the Barca players have buy out clauses. I can't link to articles regarding his new contract but they all mention his buy out clause.
 
If true, Barca should just take it and get Veratti from PSG. Invest on Dembele and couple of other class players.
 
Just out of curiosity If you had a choice between Neymar for 200 million pounds and sign nobody else this summer or Lukaku, lindeloff, perisic and matic for 200 million which would you have taken?
 
Take away Messi and Ronaldo. He is on a level of his own in terms of entertainment and goals. Not to forget he is an absolute juggernaut in terms of marketing.
I am confident he will be the next Ballon D'or winner not named Messi or Ronaldo.

Just signing neymar alone wouldn't fix the issues in the team imo

Agreed, but a lot of people have complained we dont look any stronger on paper compared to last season with our current signings and looking at the Perisic thread a lot aren't crazy on him either.
Neymar would immediately inject world class quality into our frontline and he could act as both our 20 goal a season player AND the flair and creativity out wide that we lack not to mention give the whole squad a boost and up their game too.

Neymar.
 
I don't see why you guys keep saying "he's not worth the money".

These are people who do constant financial research and are sometimes even willing to take a loss to get the team they want.

I would easily take Neymar and not sign anyone else for a year

Neymar. Don't even have to think about it

You probably should think about it because we'd still be shite. We've got a lot of problems that need addressing and Neymar wouldn't solve them all.

It'd be class havin Neymar though. It's a close one for me
 
I'm ready to bang Miranda Kerr too...

On a serious note, Neymar is worth every penny of that 220 if its' true. But would he go to the French league?

Last season, if we had someone like Neymar on the wing, we would have finished 2nd minimum. Jose's tactics can work around an average defense and make it solid enough, so we could do without Lindelof and Matic. We would need a striker in addition to Neymar though since we no longer have Ibra, so its' not fair to put Lukaku among the choices.
 
If there is even the sniff of a chance at this we need to be all over it.

The most valuable player in the world in terms of talent, age and marketability. 200mil for ten years of the world's best player would be money well spent and that's exactly what he's going to be for much of the 2020's.

Your problem last season was lack of goals. Neymar as the focal point of the attack provides goals. He's essentially a much better version of Ibra at the moment in how he can both create and score goals

But more to the point, would perisic, lindeloff and matic really solve those problems? You're still going into the season relying on Rashford, Martial, Mkhi, Pogba and Mata to score goals. If they repeat last season, you're no better, if not outright worse. Neymar improves you instantly, no matter what

We bought Lukaku.
 
We bought Lukaku.
Who might be as good as Zlatan. Neymar is better.

To make this clear: i think at most, signing those 4 would improve you as much as Neymar alone would. If the players i mentioned before step up, you'd be better with Neymar than those 4. If they don't, it would make no difference
 
Absolutely no chance this will happen. Neymar will sign a new bumper contract at Barca any day now if this continues to rumble on for the next couple of weeks. If Barcelona are in any form of financial trouble, they could sell their whole youth academy and fringe players for well more than this single transfer alone. They're not going to sell one of their jewels in the crown and strengthen a direct rival at the same time.
 
If you think about it, selling Neymar and getting Verratti in exchange to reduce the fee for PSG would be great business. Then depending how much PSG pays, use that money and get Dembele or Mbappe. Two young world class talents for the price of one.
 
If the fees reported are true, then Barcelona have to sell. You cannot tell me that a group of Spanish men around a table wouldn't accept that amount of money up front for one of their employees.
 
Why are Barca struggling financially. The most successfull team of the last 10 years you would think they could afford to give neymar a new contract

Their income to wages ratio isn't great. They paid 340m Euro in wages last year.
 
Use that griezmann money, can't believe United are not all over this. There is something definitely to this, too much leaked now.
 
We don't know how much of this is true but if he wants to leave of course United should be all over this. Griezmann decided to stay, James went to Bayern, Alexis seems like he'll stay at Arsenal. United really need an offensive player like this but I just don't see it happening

There's no way he's leaving. Neymar's dad is having a strop for some reason. This will all blow over with a new contract, including agents fee.
 
When Jose said that Pogba's fee would look cheap in a year's time, he wasn't lying. Pogba was a bargain given the way the market is now.

To be fair, as good as he is, his entourage seems a bit poisonous and the club would probably find itself in a position to pander to neymar's every needs.
 
PSG said feck you to Barca as a signal about Verratti and Di Marzio got his clicks. Nothing to see here.

PSG really wants Neymar, so no it's not just a feck you. The only problem is that Neymar needs to be genuinely interested.
 
Pretty sure I've written a very similar post on this thread before but why don't we just officially meet the release clause and make it public we've done so?
He either comes or he doesn't. Even if he doesn't it'll ensure Barca has to pay him much more dinero.....

Because it's not game, you don't play with other clubs players and you definitely don't try to put them in a difficult position.
