Neymar Jr | PSG | 2017/2018 performances

I expect him to join Real Madrid in the summer, likely after the World Cup. I have no solid evidence for this but there have been rumours and with PSG committed to signing Mbappe for £160m it does make me wonder whether it was the plan all along.
 
To be fair both PSG and Neymar deserve each other. Surely he wouldn't get away with his behavior was he still at Barcelona.

PSG are desperate for stars and Neymar is desperate to be the main man/dictator/be at a club and get away with murder. Match made in heaven.
 
Comes across as a man with an ego and is very narcissistic. He feels like he is gods gift to the world.

A bit like Zlatan. Both back it up though no matter how annoying it must be to play with them.

It's ridiculous the way he's portrayed in the media since he left Barcelona, he can't do anything without getting bashed for it.

Hoping he recovers nicely from his injury and shuts up a few people during the World Cup, it's most likely going to be the best chance in his career to really do something special. Brazil got an easy draw, his teammates are performing and Tite knows what he's doing.
 
Deserves every bit of shit going his way. The sooner PSG realize he's not worth the trouble and sell, the better

:nervous:

I don’t see what trouble he’s been worth besides the media printing stories about him. He’s been their godsend over the season and this upcoming summer.

He’s done his job, had an impact, took Mbappe under his wing (the guy he’s supposedly trying to get rid of because he’s taking his shine). The press has made a fantastic show of Neymar but I think he’s done a good job, it’s too bad he’s gotten hurt.

Edit: Oooh, you sneaky devil, you!

:lol: I'm sure he wouldn't pull stunts like this at top clubs like Real/Barca but he should still act like a professional and respect the club he plays for, even if he plays for Morecambe. Lol.

He isn't helping himself by doing stupid shit on a regular basis. There will be no one to shut up at the World Cup because no one doubts his ability as a footballer.

This.

People always wonder why Zlatan can get away with the things he does, but he just has the mischievous charisma to sell it. Neymar just seems like a whiny, self entitled cnut.

Fact that Zlatan look like he would kick your arse, whereas Neymar looks like Justin Bieber doesn't helpt either.

Both spot on.

I don't think anyone disputes him as a world class footballer. Hell, most probably have him as a top 3 footballer in the world.
 
Wouldn't be surprised if he ended up at City. Massive dickhead of a player but would take them to the next level.

Yeah, could well be their "Messi/Ronaldo" effect to take them to European domination. Let's hope it doesn't happen. Still think he'd prefer to go to Madrid.

But good luck to him trying to get away from Qatar and good luck to whoever has to fork out the amount (transfer and wages) it'll take to get him. Closest I can think of is a Ronaldo to PSG (lift PSG and Qatar's profile, earn cash that'll make your eyes bleed and win another league medal in France before retirement) deal plus cash.

Don't think Neymar would want to go to Madrid whilst having to play in Ronaldo's shadow either. Would make sense for Madrid to try and dispose of Ronaldo just before his real decline sets in (gosh, predicting that seems like how we incorrectly predicted Arsenal to get knocked out of the top 4, every year, for about 10 years :lol:, the man is a specimen!).
 
Ney is the best on the planet BY FAR at the moment, but doesn't have to try most of the time because his league is shite. Will play with 100% effort at the WC and lead Brazil to the title.

I do not see it. He is still in clutches until mid of May - that means he cannot start to have his full weight on this foot until then. It just seems to late to get into form until the World Cup starts a months later.
 
Would suck if he wasn't in form for the WC, after the way his tournament ended 4 years ago

Wouldn't say that, honestly. Ability-wise he is probably up there with Messi because he obviously surpassed him in terms of physical capacities. But Messi still looks much more mature and intelligent in his decision making and especially passing.

I think Neymar kind of regrets his move to PSG. I know that you shouldn't take such rumours too seriously but it would make sense to me. He left Barcelona because he wanted to step out of Messi's shadow. He probably knew that as long the latter was playing, he would outshine him because of his reputaion, even if Ney one day would surpass him.
But at PSG he can perform as brillantly as he wants to in the league, due to the lack of competitiveness this will never be enough. And his chances of winning the CL there aren't that high, either, because the club lacks the national competition to keep the team focused. They simply are not used to playing against teams on their level, unlike the likes of Barcelona and Madrid.

Doubt that he will move to Madrid before Cristiano leaves and I don't see that happening in the next years, honestly. Players nowadays seem to play longer than ever and Ronaldo is probably the athlete with the greatest determination. It would be the same situation, especially since Cristiano would outscore him. He would take the glory.

Think he should have gone to City. Guardiola wanted him at Bayern but they thought he was too expensive. I think he could turn him into a real contender for Ballon D'Or since he has all the potential in the world. Won't happen, obviously. Realistically, there is no way he could be leaving PSG anytime soon since no other club would be willing to spend so much money.
 
Everyones talking about Ronaldo and Messi this WC but I'm gonna go ahead and say this is where Neymar will showcase himself. I predict him to make this tournament his and win the WC although I'd like Messi to lift it. Expect this guy if fit to do better than both Ronaldo and Messi this year.

He still needs time to fully recover but he scored 2 goals in the last friendlies with Brazil.

A joy to watch who is criminally criticized by unhealthy people.

Tite said in the press conference he's still not 100% but I think everyone's expecting big things from him, at his best he can take Brazil all the way. He has more than enough support and after 2014 it's his big moment to be remembered as one of the all time greats.

This has everything to be remembered as the Neymar World Cup, people may dislike his antics but there's no player that's more entertaining to watch than him.

That's just made me realise how little I've seen of Brazil since the last World Cup. Had no idea he's had so many amazing moments. Can't wait to watch Brazil now!
 
Didn't look too bad but rusty after being out for so long. He's got to be the most fouled player right? Opposition players just try man handling him every time to try and stop him. Feel like he'll grow into it more as the games go on.
