So true, I've learnt that the hard way.

Not how we should be spending our money nor how ETH will want to. Don’t believe it for a second.
If this were true, it'd suggest we're being bought. There surely wouldn't be another explanation?
By Qatar. Surely their first signing won’t be from a Qatar owned club…
Please god no, we just recently got rid of one diva, too soon for another.
If the Qataris buy us we will probably see crazy signings like this and there won't be much Ten Hag can do about it.
There is no way in hell ETH wants this dude. Not a team player imo.
nonsense. he can quit.
No thanks. His injury record is bad for the past 5 years or so.
He's a great player. Always the biggest threat on the pitch. When martial leaves, rashford takes that position up front and put Neymar on the left. But I doubt it's true. Plus his injury record and his sister.
I actually think he'd be an elite False 9
he only fecks off when he wants to shag his sister. we’ll just bring her over here.
Heh. Interesting if they're already sounding out deals. A worry for PSG if they start stripping them; Hakimi, here we come.
A 31 year old Neymar on huge wages doesn't sound like you've learnt from mistakes. He's a fecking brilliant player but...
That's his problem but he also started to show signs of decline when he's available.
Negotiating tactic/fallback option for the Kane deal if the plan is to go for experienced striker (2-3) years whilst lining up Ferguson/Hojlund/similar for a deal next Summer and transition into main striker longer-term?
as true as when Ronaldo said he's wanted by the biggest clubs in Europe 6 months ago
IF he is coming to play football at 300k/week, he's going to be elite. If its the financial offer or the marketing clown show that interests him, its going to be a repeat of Pogba.
I don't think we can afford an attacker to go on a sister shagging sabbatical every February/March.
Thread title needs a change I think.
If this is true (and I doubt it is, as Neymar's father is a known bullshitter), then the people in charge of recruitment at the club haven't learned a thing.
EDIT: Thread title is from years ago, nevermind

true. they wouldn’t even pay for one of their fans to do the same. didn’t matter how many emails i sent.
Martial
Neymar Griezmann Memphis/Mata
Get on it Woody!
Kinda funny how crap that attack would have ended up being had we gone for it.
This has all the classic hallmarks of using Utd name to drum up interest/increase demand.
Although he’d be an upgrade(when fit) on Rashford for a couple of seasons if the latter decides he wants to play with his bestie Kylian and not renew here.

Injury record is a concern.
Probably the most criminally underrated footballer in the game though, at least on these shores.

Anyone not wanting Neymar in the squad is mental. He’s still at the height of his powers and is better than every attacker we have.
With that said… any manager relying on him is going to be let down.
He needs to be part of a squad. Not THE guy that gets pandered to and auto selected every week.
I’d love him at the club.

That’s exactly how brazen they would act, think about this very closely PSG are one of the main targeted teams for FSP Financial Sustainability Performance, Club rumoured wages were already more than the Clubs turnover, they have to get rid Neymar or Messi or both, it was reported salary annually is €640 against €590m turnover this has to be reduced to €450m this summer to give them any lateral movement in the transfer market. I can see multiple deals being made between these two clubs and very little anyone can legally do about it. Watch Maguire £50m to PsG, Martial £50m and Neymar comes the other way.
We haven’t even been bought and may not be bought by SJ but if we do our problems might just have started as ETH will soon realise he’s a puppet manager and has to accept players that he’s givenAnd get results or he’ll be gone!
Exactly that, and ETH is smart enough to work that out himself, he’ll know that he can build an absolute super squad though and that will appeal to him.
Neymar as a false 9 though....
People see Neymar and think it's another vanity signing.
Maybe it is but Neymar is incredible. He would have an impact at least as much as Casemiro.

Between 15-18 those players bar the right wing (and the Mata of those years was serviceable) would have rivaled any attacking combination in the world, maybe with the exception of BBC. The problem with post Fergie Utd is despite all the money spent, we went for world class players already past or very near the end of their peak, just as a Neymar buy would be now.
feck this thread bump.
Surely you'd be mental for wanting him if you think he can't be relied upon?
There are rumours in Italy that PSG will be forced to reduce their huge salary bill because of FFP. If qatar buy us then unfortunately I can see this deal happening
It's oN!
Just imagine how good our physio room front 3 would be with him and Martial in the squad.

Honestly this would be one of the worst signings we could make. He'd want big money, is always injured, has a massive ego and is 31. Would be gutted if we signed him.
Neymar is still an excellent player but he is not at the height of his powers anymore. He's been in steady decline for the last two years.
Martial
Rashford Neymar Griezmann
That would've been very good especially if we hadn't gotten Mourinho in 2016.
Martial is going to have some massive competition - in the treatment room.
