Not as far as I'm concerned. Many on here write off the Brazilian league to easily.

Neymar's price might be even lowered if he doesn't do that well at the World Cup.
I mean he would be reaching his peak then and that competition would be his first major one against highly motivated world class players.
Or of course he would leave for free which would be crazier whichever way I look at it, no matter how much money he generates for Santos.
Lucas has just gone for an insane price, its a great relief we got Oscar nice and early for 25 million euros which though is not cheap but in hindsight after the tournament he's having looks to be a good deal.

Ridiculous amount of cash.
That's what I was thinking, the Brazilian league has improved over the past few years, a Mickey Mouse club won the French league last season.
Its a higher level of competition imo, I feel its also the best league if one wants to adapt to the PL.
Cass and everone beleived we'd signed him on Saturday this was a last minute gazumping. The agent earned his fee.Cass
Cass you numptie!
Lou has placed doubts on whether we were truly interested for him.
Tbf it looked like we had it done. Looks like PSG really only came in the frame over the last 48 hours.Cass
Then I'm dying to know who else we were in for.
So, has he officially signed for PSG?
Platini effectively prepared to have a strong PSG and weak Ligue 1.
No but Sao Paulo have accepted the offer andLucas was happily talking about joining them the other night.
He's gone quiet Platini hasn't he?
PSG have just confirmed the deal on soccernet espn.
Lou knows nothing...
Give him a couple of years and he'll be dreaming of playing for Madrid. At least we've been spared all that crap.
Good news. Now lets get Isco who is much better anyways
The same Lou that thinks Kagawa is similar to Park.
Good luck to him with that. PSG will be reluctant to sell him.
Lucas may now find himself stuck in a poor French league for a very very long time.
Is he though? Or is he just cheaper..
Time for the lock.
Well my hundred percent record continues... Actually thought I'd break it with this one.
feck that. Somebody just delete this bastard thread.
After Sneijder gate last summer i didn't think it was possible for us all to get so sucked in by the hype and then end up ultimately disappointed yet again.
We wern't sucked in by hype though, this was going to happen until we got gazumped. Sneijder was denied from all quarters but the press and United fans early on and we only had ourselves to blame. This and the Hazard deals are ones that we were actally involved in and for some bizarre reason (cash) players would rather go elsewhere.
Whatever it is he sure ain't coming to United.
Yes without a doubt.
Have a sneaky feeling we've dodged a bullet there.
Feel free to bump and quote when he wins the ballon dor in a few years.

That's a stupid sum of money for someone who has done very little and with a lot of holes in their game. I am NOT just changing my tune now, BTW. He's talented but nowhere near what has been made out, and that fee is just crazy. I would have taken him for 20 million, but even that is steep for him IMO.
Great.
cheaper than andy carroll using today's exchange rate.
To be honest I'm agreeing with you here. I trust Fergie's judgement and would've taken him, but I couldn't really feel any disappointment when I saw he was going to PSG. It was borderline relief if anything.
Amazing money for someone who gets a few minutes a game for Brazilian Olympics team. PSG have just done this to flex their muscles. They didn't need him and it could be a massive mistake for the kid. He will be typical of a lot of Brazilian players in europe that get shunted round from club to club by greedy agents.
Very true.
Crazy money but think off it like this...
Andy Carroll was more expensive!

I did not have much interest in this transfer as can be proven by my lack of posts in this thread. But I don't think that is ridiculous money for a rated youngster in current market. 30m for Rooney when we got him was called crazy by many United supporters on here as well. Looks like a bargain now. If Lucas does turn out to be as good as his potential suggests, no one will remember the money involved. People expecting us t sign another Ronaldo for 12m can forget about it IMO. We will need to scoff a similar amount for such talent from now on IMO
I just think that all the threads about players we wanted to sign and most of them we actually had a lucky escape. The big majority have not been as good as we thought. We have all these hopes of big signing every season. Schneider was rubbish last season and what about Joe Cole, he was terrible.
Great signing. They'll get 13 years out of him! 
It took us weeks of discussion and it took PSG 2 mins to have it signed sealed and delivered.
