Inane debate. Enjoy the goal. There are a lot of good football to enjoy in every league without fecking getting into the same stupid discussion everytime.
Second best IMO. I definitely feel that last season and this so far he has been second only to Messi.Can we call Neymar 3rd best player in the world at this point?
Who's 2nd best then?Can we call Neymar 3rd best player in the world at this point?
This season he has been playing at a similar level to Messi last year. Creating and scoring with ease. Last season he was more of a scorer and really was effective at it whilst offering more then Ronaldo in the build up play.i'm curious as to why people say he is better than Ronaldo, Is it the more all round game thats making him better? I don't watch La Liga enough
Yeah, although he's been scoring in more games than Cristiano this season now too.i'm curious as to why people say he is better than Ronaldo, Is it the more all round game thats making him better? I don't watch La Liga enough
Ronaldo bar his goals adds nothing to the team play, doesnt create chances nor space, loses the ball but he just gets on the end of chances and scores. Now Neymar is scoring at a similar or even better rate than Ronaldo, creating chances, creating space, getting involved and thats why he's currently better imo. But for how long, Ronaldo is outrageously consistent and Neymar might get a downfall.i'm curious as to why people say he is better than Ronaldo, Is it the more all round game thats making him better?

This just shows that Messi is a monster.Some nice graphics:
I must say, watching that video, you can really see that he has taken a lot from Messi in terms of passing and playmaking. Those diagonal over the top through balls are great to watch.Not far fetched. Overall he's been better and more desicive for the entire year. It just takes a while for people to accept when it comes to such established and popular names.
And that's just "surface stats". Neymar obviously does more in the buildup via dribbling (39 vs. 15 successful take-ons this season), creativity (31 vs. 15 key passes) and also defensively (10 vs. 3 successful tackles).
Wonderful player. I was a bit sceptical about his overall game but that was clearly tactical. Without Messi on the pitch he can also do a lot more than getting into scoring positions.
I highly doubt that to be honest.Some people think that Hazard is better...
There was a debate on here only 2 months ago. Not only Chelsea fans but also some United fans were of the opinion that Hazard's the better player.I highly doubt that to be honest.
True, I remember that. Is there anyone who still believes Hazard is better though? That'd be ridicilous.There was a debate on here only 2 months ago. Not only Chelsea fans but also some United fans were of the opinion that Hazard's the better player.
That one has been put to bed a while back!Some people think that Hazard is better...
I think Woody think the same but it will be hard to lure him away from Barca.If United are serious about becoming this all conquering global force then United has to be the club Neymar joins if and when he leaves Barcelona.
The cost should be secondary here.
He's been doing that since his latter days at Santos where he was clearly taking on more responsibility as the quality of the team was on the decline with Ganso's injury issues.I must say, watching that video, you can really see that he has taken a lot from Messi in terms of passing and playmaking. Those diagonal over the top through balls are great to watch.
How much would you put the price ceiling at to bring him in?If United are serious about becoming this all conquering global force then United has to be the club Neymar joins if and when he leaves Barcelona.

Yeah, he was definitely massacred by many on here as being just another Brazilian teenager named the next Pele because be can showboat in the brazilian league... now all of us are drooling at the prospect of him gracing us with his presence for 200 million.Going from overrated youtube star to potential Ballon d'or winner is quite an achievement. Only 23 and already 203 goals in his career thus far
Most of the people calling him overrated back then had never seen him play.Going from overrated youtube star to potential Ballon d'or winner is quite an achievement. Only 23 and already 203 goals in his career thus far
I don't know about capping the negotiations but the starting point would be Bales record.How much would you put the price ceiling at to bring him in?
Really? The only way to become a global force again would be to buy Neymar? Come on...If United are serious about becoming this all conquering global force then United has to be the club Neymar joins if and when he leaves Barcelona.

To contend with Barca and be on their level, I fully believe that.Really? The only way to become a global force again would be to buy Neymar? Come on...
