We have only one player in whole team who actually can beat a player (Rashy) but we don't want maybe best dribbler in the world. Makes sense
Seen posts like this before. Falcao, Ibra, Cavani, Ronaldo. You can’t make this shit up that people would actually want Neymar.
I agree with your post overall but you can’t include Ibra in that list…
Yeah I mean he was good, so were Ronaldo and Cavani. I imagine Neymar would show his quality. Ibra was a short term signing who lasted a season though, my point is that we need to build for the long term
Buying another 30y old midfielder would be wrong move because our midfield is old(ish). But we have 5 wingers where oldest winger is Rashford who is 25.
If you were to believe the latest ownership rumors, they have it that it's already been agreed and that they're already working on our summer plans.
, I won't believe anything until we get official word but the rumors have been interesting.Martial
Let the finance people worry about the funding for this. So putting that aside; this would be an incredible move.
The manager is on record saying Garnacho lacks when it comes to pressing and needs to work on his defensive side:
These are Neymar's and Rashford's defensive actions per 90 minutes:
Neymar's pressing vs others:
In terms of his creativity - mentioning Rashford in the same sentence is honestly insulting, and I love Rashford. If you think he would get 35 G/A in France, fair enough, it's possible, but it's not as if Neymar has been one of the most creative players in the world for over a decade now, right?
Neymar has a weird, unjustified, and non reflective of reality reputation on Redcafe for some reason. People try to act as if he doesn't press or if players that clearly do not do more defensive work than him are better than him at it, all the while being dismissive of how he dwarfs them in all attacking/creative stats.
Again, curious stuff.
Martial, Antony and Weghorst have nothing to do with Neymar though do they.
I'm guessing both potential buyers will have been informed about our prospective targets and budget and given the go-ahead. We can't realistically just let our summer come to a standstill while this takeover is ongoing. In reality transfer talks get underway well before the end of the season. We actually seem to have prepared quite well going into this summer even if not all of the signings are ones I'm particularly thrilled about. There have been consistent links with the likes of Frimpong, Kane, Mount and Kim for a while now.
Yes because they've done such a wonderful job with that for the last 10 years...
Where have we created issues with affordability? Name specific examples.
I mean Neymar is definitely past his best too. The injuries have definitely taken their toll. He's still incredibly talented obviously but I think the Ronaldo comparison is definitely a fair one. Ronaldo was still delivering plenty of goals when we signed him. If anything there are more warning signs with Neymar because you can be guaranteed that he's going to miss a significant amount of the season whereas Ronaldo had a great injury record.
City signed him from fecking Wolfsburg! In no universe was Kevin de Bruyne a superstar before joining City.
Just checked, Neymar gets nearly £1m per week! That is never going to end well. Other players will start asking for much higher wages (most of them are already on way too much) and there'll definitely be jealousy that a player who's going to miss half the season will be getting more than 5x the wage most of them are on. Leads to disharmony. All the things people criticise PSG for, we'd be bringing here with this sort of a move (unless Neymar magically agrees to slash his wages in half or something).
and at which point in the post you quoted - or any post I’ve made in this thread - did I say KDB was a superstar before joining City?Well the post you replied to claimed that he was turned into a superstar at City. In other words, he wasn't signed as an established 31-year-old global star.
(the point made is that being a superstar doesn’t inherently mean you lose/lost your hunger)
again, what does that have to do with any of the assertions I’ve made and points I’ve tried to get across?The manager is on record saying Garnacho lacks when it comes to pressing and needs to work on his defensive side:

Current Neymar is better than all of those players at the points we signed them.
Has it been confirmed it's a loan?
Ibrahimovic had 38G/13A in 32 games the year he signed for us. He was better then than Neymar is now and available far more often. Not sure how you would dispute that.
