He's a paid parrot.This just reinforced my belief that Guillem Balague is just a mouthpiece for Barca and Real Madrid, whenever I see his tweets/report, it's only positive news for those two clubs. So much bias its so unreal. Feck off Balague!
Neymar joins PSG on a five year deal

I would have hated him to see in a United shirt. Glad Woodward and Glazer's kept their sense.
Messi and Ronaldo will still dominate the top honours for atleast 4 years more. Neymar can never match their legendary status.
Getting all of their spending in before they start getting sanctioned and blacklisted for funding terrorism. Crafty.
SSN: Neymar traveling to London on private jet
Is that even possible.
I'd guess the money will be coming directly from PSG and to them from their Owners who, if required, can show that they have the wherewithal to pay the transfer fees.
bullshit.
Barca trying to make themselves look as big a bunch of twats as possible. You lost, get over it, no need to be a sore loser.
Barca lost because PSG is pumping stupid money, which they didn't 'earn' by beeing a football club, into Neymar. This is not how this business should work. Most of you approve it, because you just dislike Barca. If it would be United instead of Barca, you would cry a massive river.
Surely a stopover for refueling!
Why?
Roman wants in on the shenanigans
No clear idea why.
Woody is in London today on mysterious business.
Barcelona broke the law when they signed him to begin with. There is no moral high ground.
Everyone is playing the 'let's laugh at Barcelona' thing until an entire oil producing country starts throwing £200m at us for Paul Pogba.
PSG should feck off, fecking cheats. This sort of stuff will ruin the game, and have players earning a million a week in no time.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have been buying all the best players for years. I'm glad that this is happening to take away some of their dominance. Other clubs will have more chances to compete.
Fact of the matter is this is how the business works, it's how it's worked for years now. Also Arab money has made Man City a genuine rival, a foreign investor has turned Chelsea into competitors for us etc. so no, I doubt we'd be 'crying a river', especially if we were receiving double the world record fee.
Not to add Barca are a club renowned for shady workings. Their original signing of Neymar alone had so many questionable aspects. You reap what you sow.
Ronaldo is 31 and Messi is 30. Neymar is 25 so the future is clearly on his side. Beside, if he can win CL with PSG and help Brazil in WC I can't find a reason why he can't be a Ballon D'Or contender.
I have no dislike for Barca. I prefer them to Real. However, Neymar's initial transfer to them was so dodgy I can't bring myself to feel any pity for them.
Add to the fact they are literally beside themselves about this whole thing when they were no angels to bring him there in the first place.... I just have to laugh at everything.
This is karma at its finest.

yes indeed. a wing forward scoring 105 goals and 59 assists in 180 odd games is quite mediocre. As are his 69 goals for Brazil and 130 odd for Santos. His goals in the champions league winning campaign were also miniscule. Its strange that someone hasn't just gone and bought Aduriz on the cheap and played him LWF. I'm sure he would be like Robben
Couldn't agree more. All fun and games till they start going after our best players.
Barcelona aren't exactly angels themselves, read up on the deal that brought him to the Nou Camp.
Even if that did happen we dont go ahead putting release clauses in our players contracts so have the option to play hardball.
Barca agreed to put in a release clause and are now crying because someone is willing to meet it. Had Barca not done that or put something higher than they did he might be staying.
He's off to Arsenal.
It was a great pleasure to have shared all these years with your friend @neymarjr I wish you good luck in this new stage of your life. See you tomorrow
Messi just posted this on Instagram.
This couldn't happen to a better club, feck off Barca!
Now go and buy Coutinho from Liverpool.

Barca are powerless because of Neymar's release clause. We'd be able to reject a £200m bid for Pogba or whoever.
Why not? once Messi and Ronaldo move on its a free for all. Also if he outperforms them in the CL and dominates France, he has every chance. Rui Patricio came 12th in Portugal and Zlatan came 13th. Higuain has made the list too. I'm sure Mbappe will be up there.
This deal kind of smashes my faith that we are ever going to be able to buy a worldclass attacker.
United have an office in London
What this will really do is increase release clauses to even more ridiculous amounts.
Clearly PSG are going to activate Messi's clause next.
Disappointing that attack is going to be broken up. MSN made for some beautiful football. Hopefully the replacement helps maintain that standard of attack.
Release clauses are a legal requirement in Spain.
And chances are any club offering double the salary that even the top clubs can will turn the head of the likes of Pogba. Nobody can compete against a country, nor should they have to.
I agree, although Griezmann is still on I think for next year.
The obscene wages will unsettle him, which would then leave us with a massive problem.
I didn't say younger meant better. I meant he should naturally overtake them. At least that was my expectation. For example, he's never going to be as good as Messi but at 27 I'd expect him to be better than an over the hill (but still wonderful) Messi. The heir to the throne, if you will. So in that sense, for him to accept playing in a league so much worse is such an absurd choice and says a lot about him IMO.
