Cruyff: I would sell Messi now Barcelona have Neymar

I don't agree with you on that, Pedram. Cruyff, unlike Pele, actually knows alot about football, its just that he is very bitter towards Rosell. So he is very negative towards anything that he does..

Exactly, he should stop ruining his reputation. Which unfortunately for him means he should stop giving his opinions all together.

He is not far off but something for Barcelona to consider after a year or so would happily trade Messi with Jose Angel Barcelona wanted him back then

I'm very skeptical of any cruyff interview done by marca

Well he's still an idiot then.

Yeah, one of the greatest minds in history is an idiot.


Fanboys probably thought Ibra and Messi would be a success as well.

Comparing Neymar to Ibra is idiotic....

1. Ibra needs to have the team built around him and thrives on being the centre piece of the attack....

Neymar does not need the team built around him and if anything he thrives when he it isn't and unlike Ibra he doesn't play in central positions and doesn't need to be centre piece of attack and again if anything thrives when others are lending him creative support.

Anyway Cruyff is a legend but in this case what he's saying is very idiotic....

Firstly Barca's attack is in desperate need of rejuvenation.... Messi is the only one who does anything; Villa is past it, Pedro has been crap for 2 years and Sanchez hasn't been anywhere near good enough.

Anyone that has seen Barca over the last 2 years has seen that Messi aside the attack is extremely toothless and thus its easy for big teams to stop them.

So again that is a very stupid comment to say its an unnecessary signing, when its arguably the biggest issue they have.

Secondly i won't call him stupid to say Messi and Neymar won't work but i will call it very short sighted as anyone has paid close attention to Neymar's career will know that it will work perfectly.

Same reaction.

This is not even debatable.

Has Neymar went to Real, and he talked about selling Cr7 , i would have understood.

I want whatever Cruyff is smoking.

You can't compare Neymar's attitude to Ibra's. Neymar has been saying that he wants to help Messi in being the best player in the world while Ibra is well known to have a huuuge ego and doesn't want to play second fiddle to anyone..

Just saying , Ibra was never going to be a 2nd fiddle anywhere. you don't pay 50m + eto'o for a second fiddle. Messi was not the main player of the team back then but a choice has been made and it was the good one.

Neymar has much more chances to fit in

The lack of Clockwork Orange in this thread is disturbing.

Clockwork stay safe

I smell jealousy.

This is not jealousy and in fact it has nothing to do with Messi. This is sheer hate towards the current president of barcelona and an effort to make his star transfer seem stupid.

Although, I think it was him who ended up looking like an idiot. Even If Messi and Neymar would not do well together, we all know who would leave in that situacion.

I hope Cruyff doesn't think this and only said it to spite Rosell, but even this, it's a stupid thing to say.

He said Thiago should leave as well

Florentino just said that if they want to sell Messi they should give him a call  

Cruyff always has been and will be an utter idiot!

Florentino Perez (president Real Madrid): "If Barcelona would want to sell Messi, they can call us."

Cruyff was right as always.
