Do you really think he will stay in Brazil until then? I mean contracts in the footballing world don't mean shit..

Why would he leave before then? He's making good money, he's a god in Brazil, his family + new child are in Brazil and he's only 19. He can ride the wave until the WC and then make a big move right after... and he'll only be 22.

Unless he just gets bored and needs a new challenge immediately, i see the logic in staying.

The prestige is in Europe... The best players in the world are in Europe... I think that's enough reason lol

He's 19 and makes just as much money in Brazil now than he would in Europe (or close). Argentinians move to Europe very early now because their domestic league is small time... not so much with Brazilians. Brazil league is elite and very popular. If he were older and had a small window, i would say he'd move to Europe for sure. But since he'll only be 22 in 2014, he can have the best of both worlds: Become a national legend in Brazil and then move to Europe at still a young age.

Yeah I guess.. I hope he comes before that though

We arent desperate for any one, lets wait and see.

But just wait til he gets more playing time with Marcelo, everyone loves marcelo, he'll be rooting for him every week and he will definately come to us. Who would pass up an opportunity to play with the great Marcelo?

That Brazilian stuff is BS... We have Marcelo, and Kaka. KAKA. And he picks Alves and Adriano of all people.

Meh, Neymar me ha decepcionado.

Neymar is Alves' butt buddy since ever,nerman has never met Kaka and played once with marcelo

I do not see how Neymar would improve our team at this point in time

Yeah, but surely Marcelo and Kaka are bigger figures to look up to than Adriano...

I find neymar overrated, and I dont think he will ever win a ballon dor.

Fking unbeleavible. 22 games 24 goals and 7 assists. he is going in messi/ronaldo pace. I already see improvements from last season. scored a hattric yesterday against sao poulo.

Do you guys still think we shouldnt sign him at any cost.

If he goes to barca, then we will have to deal with 2 frekinn messi of different styles. For GOD sake.

WE must be ready to splash anything for him this summer.

Where will he play?

he can play anywhere in attack.

We don't really need any starting attacker at all. We need bench/ rotational players and he isn't one.

He has some drawbacks in my opinion.

He's still very immature and very unprofessional in his acts on and off the pitch, which will surely affect the team's atmosphere in general, that's for starters.

Moreover, with his underweight physique he'll get eaten alive in Europe against well built defenders. He needs to pack on some muscle first.

Flo scared him off to Barca, Hazard is off to the EPL, Goetze is of no use to us. We're not after Muniain.

It's Lucas Moura for us, chaps.

attack is the last thing we need to concentrate on bolstering lol.. lets keep the wet dreams about neymar ,moura for another season.. thats not the priority

James Rodriguez

Exactly. What we missed throughout the season is the midfield. 2 guys (who by the way aren't the fastest dudes around) in our midfield were overrun too many times throughout the season. I have absolutely no clue what Mou is planing to do about it as we have an unused Sahin on the bench, but we need to do something.

Up front, we can choose between two very talented strikers who can go throughout the game without really seeing the ball - this needs fixing, but imo, it's largly due to our wings and ozil having to go back to get the ball - midfield issue. Benzema was good for us because he could go back and contribute to the build up play, he's skillful enough to do that, but we need to play to a clinical striker imo up front (not really saying Benz can't be that guy for us but we need to play that style - creative game with a clinical striker who converts the chances).

We do need another creative attacker though. To replace Kaka and be the long term RW solution (don't trust Di Maria). Of course, MF is the first priority, but buying Javi and playing Sahin would solve that real quickly.

tbh i dont think we "really" need to get anyone. there are tweaks in the midfield and defense that need to be made but as far as the attack i think we should leave it untouched- we are scoring goals for fun why alter that dynamic
