Neymar is amazing.
It seems like like Man Utd are not gonna make any new offers, and SPFC doesn't want to sell him till the end of the season.
Santos want ridiculous money for Neymar afaik.
Err Neymar costs like 60-70 million, no way would United pay that. He's Barca/Madrid bound.
Strap on a 10mil option to purchase and Sahin will be at the club he should have been when he finished up with Dortmund.
he wants to go to Bayern. He told me that when I met him.

Is this the first time you guys have seen neymar? just curious. He's been doing this a while..
As opposed to Sao Paulo wanting pennies for Moura?
I'm pretty sure that whatever it would realistically cost to prise Neymar away is worth it compared to what Moura costs.
Actually, scrap that, 70 million is stupid.
There were quite a few rumours last year that Nike would pay some % of that fee to get Neymar to Barcelona.
Second time, there is already a lot of hype about him in Europe.

It's like he was designed by Tetsuya Nomura.

70 million isn't really much for the top clubs though.

That's like a week's outlay for United.

What top club can pay that much that isn't in debt?.
How many £70m transfers have there been like?!

Ermmmm....
Real paid more for Ronaldo.
Chelsea paid 50 for Torres, and have spent 70+ so far this window (with more to come probably)
Sure, 70 million is a lot for a club in debt like Man United.
Ronaldo's the only player over 70 million, and there are only 3 or 4 over 50. It's not a common occurrence at all.
Ronaldo is a once in a while transfer for a truly world class player who had proved himself, something Neymar hasn't done.
£70 million is a colossal amount to spend on any player in a single sum let alone for someone like Neymar.
You don't need to pay stupid money for awesome players.

Top clubs:
Real Madrid
Barcelona
Man Utd
Chelsea
Man City (kind of)
Bayern Munich
AC Milan (?)
Juventus (?)
Clubs that can properly afford him:
Chelsea
Man City
PSG
Clubs that can figure out a way of doing it:
Real Madrid
Barcelona
Clubs stupid enough to do it:
Real Madrid
But you can pay £18m for Santa Cruz.
True, it's not like all of those hugely expensive transfers have worked out either.

Club that will do it - PSG
Never said it was a common occurrence. I said it was totally plausible a top club would pay that amount for a world class player.
If Chelsea spent 50 on Torres then I don't see them having any problems spending 20 more on Neymar. I'm actually surprised they haven't already!
So once, in the entire history of the sport.
