I for one am stunned that Neymar isn't leaving Barcelona.
 
They only make us look like mugs to the numpties who believe every bullshit story they read.

Yeah but fans from other clubs will perceive the story as being true, and Neymar 'rejecting us' - these press fairytales sometimes make us a laughing stock.

You're right though, some of our own fans need to stop eating up these bullshit stories.
 
Stick my neck out here and say Neymar will play at Old Trafford.
 
Barca was never going to sell, this transfer (if true) would rest on Neymar's decision. If he wants to leave (and we know he doesn't), then barca couldn't do shit about it.
 
Well... time to put my stiffy away! I can't believe Neymar wouldn't join us, our club is so embarassing.
Hopefully this white text isn't needed.
 
"Neymar is happy at Barca. We don't want Neymar to leave at all" Batomeu.

Sorry Josep, there's nothing you can do, now. We are taking Neymar from you.

The problem with transfers is many fans invest their emotions into them. Those people need to take a step back and not invest so much time into rumours and speculation. Guaranteed, if Neymar renews there'll be a meltdown from two types: those who believed this would happen and this who will complain that we wasted time.
 
If anything this just makes it more on than ever.

On one hand, Barca have felt the need to come out and say something, which means there's real interest on our part. On the other hand, I'd rather we weren't interested, as Neymar was never in a trillion years a realistic target. As others have said, we'd probably have more of a chance of signing Ronaldo.
 
I wouldn't dignify that with a response.
They've ignored this iron clad social convention so it's only logical the move is a go
 
Maybe if we get relegated to pot two in the Champion's League.

We already are in pot two should we qualify, the way they've done it this year is different. The champions of the eight strongest leagues are pot one, the rest are seeded by coefficient. We're in the same pot as Real, Athletico, City, Arsenal etc. whilst Zenit and PSV are in with the likes of Barcelona, PSG and Bayern.
 
Exclusive: Smokescreen 'has no intention of joining United'
 
What?! You are freaking kidding me... And I really thought this one had real traction. But nope another just slips through our fingertips.

So who next?

Oh feck, missed that after zoning out on the Champion's League last year.
 
Still no word from Neymar! Although Barca could've locked him in the shed or somethin'...
 
Sorry, but no. It is still a difference of 22 goals, more than what the top scorer of all but 6-8 clubs in European top leagues score.

That edge contains 15 penalties, without which the edge is dramatically reduced.

It looks good on the player's record, but it's a return that can be totally replaced by other players on the team, hence it's a bit stupid to consider it in this kind of comparison. It's effectively a 15 goal handicap for Neymar who doesn't have the luxury to hit them.

There's really no reason for us not to go full retard on this. Offer to make him the best paid player in the world by a margin, we have the money to. That puts barca in an awkward position of potentially having to bump messis wages too (and maybe the racists) once they get wind. It's still extremely unlikely he'll leave of course but if we can feck with them a little why not. It'll also put neymar in a put up or shut up situation

That's all a colossal waste of time that would be better spent pursuing obtainable targets in an important transfer window.
 
I can confirm Neymar will 100% Play at Old Trafford this season! If we draw them in CL

not really, you just let his agent know we'll meet the release and happily pay him £xm per season if he comes everything else is then down to team neymar to push, like i said there's nothing really for us to lose

having said all that i'm not being entirely serious anyway, like everyone else in this thread i consider this to be 100% bollocks, just press and agents making mischief. I doubt the club have had any direct involvement at all
 
Can't believe we've let this one slip through our fingers once again. Just pay the price instead of haggling over a few hundred pounds! I guess he will join Chelsea, they always steal our players.
 
Weird to use Robinho as an example, considering he turned out to be a failure at Real after all the hype. Neymar actually has justified the massive hype so far, he has been excellent for Barca, and he's still only 23.

That's the point. We used to steer clear of supposed Galactico signings and did proper checks on our signings beyond just football ability or marketability so they were more suited for our clubs.

Who's to say? Woodward would probably have gone for a Robinho back in 2005.

The things you mentioned achieving in your post are a lot more complicated and nowhere near as simple you seem to think they are, however the fact that you are joking suggests you haven't given them a lot of thought which is fine, I can however tell you that it takes a lot more than a word in an agents ear in cases like these for the player or club to be unsettled in anyway.
