Nice, he's looked pretty solid in pre-season. Good to have some young talent coming up.

Neymar cost 86.2 million euros as revealed by Barcelona so that would make him cheaper than Bale who was 100mil I believe. Still it is bizarrely expensive for a player with a one year contract. I know he was majority owned by Papa Neymar, but you could have had Suarez for that kind of money.


Well they also had to make a deal with the Spanish tax regulation service (or whatever it's called) to the amount of €13,5m according to some Dutch football sites. So that would put it right around €100m. Not sure if those numbers are included in transfer fees though.

And nah Steveling, I don't think Neymar had that much of a bigger impact than Bale did at Real. Couple that with the fact that Bale's best position is filled with Ronaldo, then I think he's been doing ok at Madrid.

Wouldn't the fact that RM paid 100m for someone on a position which is already filled and where they have a talented young player be exactly the reason why it's a bad transfer. At least Neymar can play in his own spot and do it for years to come and he's better than the alternatives.


Yeah I'm not arguing against that. I think the Bale transfer is a disaster. 100m spent on a player whose position is filled by the second best player in the world. But that isn't really his fault (well partly, but w/e). My point is that given with what he's got, not being able to play at his best position, he's doing ok and not much worse than Neymar.

If you think that neymar was the key player for super cup and clasico victories as well as how important for brazil he was during the confederations up I think he's miles ahead bale, since both of them have to prove they are worth the huge sum paid for them.

And I didn't say he's doing bad, just that ney is doing much better so far.


Confederations cup is not important in this argument. If Bale could play on a top national team I'm sure he'd have a big impact as well.

I'm just saying the difference in impact at club level is not that big, which is understandable. It's their first season at arguably the 2 biggest clubs in the world, let's give them time to adjust.

Better than Alexis or Pedro? I doubt it... At least not yet. He hasn't proven anything yet in Barcelona. To be fair Neymar cannot show his full potential with Messi on the pitch with him, it's just retarded. These 2 players need freedom and people playing for them, it was reaaally stupid to buy him. And at what price?...

Like Ysellian said, with that amount of money, they could have bought a world class defender + a world class striker (Suarez would have been a perfect fit indeed :p). His transfer crippled Barcelona for 2 seasons, as they had to pay a part of the transfer the year before and they could only afford Song (who isn't a big success either, but it's not really his fault).

The team needs severe changes before they can accomplish something big again

The moves for bale and neymar might not make too much football sense, but the presidents of the clubs basically had to do it. Neymar was continually linked with barca and real since like 2011 and both sets of fans were expecting him. When neymar chose barca, barca really couldn't refuse no matter how much they had to pay for him. And real in turn had to sign a player to match neymar no matter the price. Yeah, suarez was good last year but not as good as he has been this year and fans were expecting bale. The whole saga is pretty much about continuing their reputations as the two biggest clubs in football.

that being said, rosell is a horrible president and rightfully got fired/resigned. He made a lot of dumb decisions but i can't really blame him too much for signing neymar. Lying about it was what killed him, but again it was to save face so that he didn't have to admit that neymar cost like 120 mil(real said they would have had to pay 150 for neymar).

I think they have to keep him until at least next year. I'm guessing the soonest he will be fired is when it looks like man utd will fail to qualify for the champions league again next season. It was so stupid to give him a 6-year contract...

I hope moyes stays longer though so he can keep ruining man u and japan's best player at the same time. killing two birds with one stone kekekekeke.

Moyes leaving would probably be a disadvantage for your club XD

as much as i hate moyes for being a pathetic tactician, i still want to give him time. last thing i would want is for man utd to become in the same category as pretty much every other club in the world, where we pretty much recycle managers until one finally wins something.

Yeah i guess honda has taken over now and it could be argued he always was first since he plays the #10 role over kagawa for japan. either way, neither of them will be playing champions league football next year.

I think he actually meant Chelsea sacks their managers even if they win something, not Moyes specifically :D
Imagine a place where the Alps meet the Mediterranean, where you can pick autumn fruits in the morning, bathe in the Adriatic in the afternoon, and go night skiing in the evening…It’s Slovenia!

Btw olympiacos had rejected a 8.5m offer for Manolas from Napoli, 2 months ago, during the last transfer window.
I can only imagine what his price will be after yesterday's performance and the world cup partnership with Sokratis.
