If he needs to be at the centre stage or have no other player contending for the spotlight with him before he can perform well, then he probably isn't worth his salt. A good player will thrive regardless of competition. In fact, competition to terrific players is a healthy shot of adrenaline, a magic serum that keeps their competitive juices flowing and spurs them to do better.

I'm looking at the big picture here, that was why I said in the first post I made as regarding the matter that a move to PSG would only offer him short-term benefits. If Neymar goes to PSG, he might become the Kings of kings over there, might win the League 1 and a couple of local French competitions, but that'll most likely be the summit of it all. A local champion of France is all he'll ever get to be, not a champion of Europe. As you know, winning the champions league with PSG is more difficult than Chinese algebra. And with the corrupt politics played out in FIFA, no Champions League translates to no Balon d'or.

In 48 hrs. Neymar will be in Paris for his signature. Folks who is the best replacement ?

Fuckly:


Lucas Moura

Dembele

DiMaria

Coutinho

ddippset:
But am just thinking, what becomes if another club meets a player's release clause but he still has years on his contract? Can't the club refuse to sell the player?

ollah1:



I think Coutinho and Dembele thick the boxes. U wanna add Di Maria thats only left legged and inury prone to the team? Lucas what?

Our female cule shaadey has refused to talk. Say something ma'am

Lucas Moura (The Robinho reincarnate)

Watch that kid feed and learn from Messi..


Balon D'or at age 22..

Fantastic decision by Neymar to leave Barcelona to PSG. I see a lot of Barca fan criticizing the lad and I wonder why. He is 25 and time is ticking; if he really wants to have a chance of winning the Ballon d'or then he has to be the leader of a decent team and there is no way he will be the leader of this Barca team as long as Messi is around(honestly, I don't see Messi slowing down until he's 35). Come on, the man has his own ambitions too. At 25, the likes of CR and Messi were leaders of their teams and had at least one ballon d'or. But all Neymar has to show for his dazzling display is a podium finish.

In his first season I think. I remember the Celtic match clearly. There were also Granada, Real Valladoid etc.

I don't think Coutinho will come.

Why isn't the injury prone Bale for sale?

Awesome01:



I think Coutinho or Messi's choice of Dele Alli is good.

If you're still thinking about it, then it's probably a lie. What particular match against Granada and Valladoid did he function as a false 9?

Dude, you're just making stuff up. Neymar has never played in the false 9 position ever since he joined Barça, even in matches that Messi missed.

Krasid:
And saying PSG stands little or no chance of winning the UCL is utter bullocks; certainly not the same PSG that gave the barca team a run for their money, and if not for the tactical ineptness of the coach and ironically the brilliance of Neymar they would have qualified for the next round. With Neymar another addition to a strong team, I see PSG going far and possibly winning the trophy for the 1st time.

bykebyke:

Once a certain club pays a player's release clause,only the player has a say in whether he wants to stay at his current club or leave to the club that payed the release clause.

So yeap...Barcelona never wanted to sell Neymar...He wanted to leave...is it not the same bastard that was negotiating with Real Madrid last summer?

hopefulLandlord:


any player transfered with release clause being paid is technically speaking a free transfer

its NOT the buying club that pays the clause, its the player himself that takes the Money from the buying club and pays his present club hereby "releasing" himself from his contract, he becomes free and then moves to any club he likes (which would of course be the club that gave him the money to free himself from his former club)

basically if another club comes with €220M right now for Neymar, all it would take is Neymar agreeing, its the player that can refuse NOT the club

the player might just refuse to take the money from the interested club

He's played as one and the Celtic match was one. I don't easily forget whatever I see unless I didn't see it.
