Hope he does a Kobe and forces one of himself or Messi out to become the best in the world.

If he ever wants to leave Barcelona, we need to do everything to get him. Break the bank. He'd rip the Prem apart.
He's incredible. Definitely think he's better than Ronaldo now. His ability to go the extra gear in games is truly special.

Remember when people thought Bale was better? 
He has always had the skill but also the mindset & presence on the pitch of a leader. It's clearer to see in international games but we have also seen it since Messi has been out. He can take the responsibility and lead the team. I think it is only a matter of time before he becomes the worlds best player and he's not far away now. I do feel he is the type of player that could drive Brazil to winning a World Cup. If I could choose to have any player at United it would be Neymar.
Anyone with half a brain when viewing the youtube clips could see his abilities and there was never any doubt he would be a success. All the attributes were clearly visible and he was clearly a special talent. I do wonder if a lot of the doubters allowed their own personal bias to blind them as to his ability. Things like his haircuts etc were what some people focussed on and somehow they simply didnt see his long list of footballing abilities.
Oh yes. I remember the discussions after the World Cup too!Remember when people thought Bale was better?
It's a lovely goal, but it's not that amazing. I mean, it's not some incredibly technical peice of blinding skill..he just kicks it up and turns around, innit? Bit of a scuffed shot, too.
I could do it.
I could do it.
I know right! I do that just about every game when I'm having a kick about with the lads down the park
Generally, I perform at neymar levels in the park. Nothing special really. Only real difference is that I am keeping it real by turning down 'professional' contracts and not going commercial.
Neymar is not a real artiste.

Goddamn fancy dans, pass and move!
He makes difficult parts of the game look so easy it's just unfair.
I'm looking at the time posted and assuming you've had a few too many red wines
Seems like he's maturing too. Since last year his haircuts are more and more normal.
Incredibly difficult piece of skill that he's performed as if he was having a kickabout in the park. The shot was scuffed, agreed, takes away from it a bit. Can't underestimate the level of ability required for those first two touches though.
Not only bale. Gotze too!Remember when people thought Bale was better?
That goal reminded me of Zidane more than anything.
He's brilliant. The only player around capable of bettering Ronaldo's level.

Fat Ronaldo? In which case, I will disagree. Think he will be on par with cr7 at his peak easily though.
I still think his goal scoring record would be half shit at United, every time I see a highlight of his goals it's from counter attacking or just fast attacks before the team can full set up whereas here he'd have to try run at 11 men behind the ball
Him and Martial together next year will be 
He'd score less because United could not offer him the same service as Barca I reckon but not necessarily because of the PL.I still think his goal scoring record would be half shit at United, every time I see a highlight of his goals it's from counter attacking or just fast attacks before the team can full set up whereas here he'd have to try run at 11 men behind the ball
Agreed. He's playing alongside the best in the world and probably the 4th best in the world. I think he'd be insane to leave.
We are not selling Martial!Him and Martial together next year will be
Oh yes, we're not.

The other four promising youngsters he mentioned before Neymar are Odegaard, Hazard, Depay and Pogba.
was a joke, doesn't translate well on the internet.
Don't think it's madness at all to call him the 2nd best player in the world right now. He has been better this season and is better right now without a doubt imo. If you not only look at stats (and even then if you look in how many games he scored) then Ronaldo's season hasn't been that impressive at all, especially his overall play is bang average these days imo and he is in a decline. He is still an ridiculous finisher, but he isn't the player anymore, who can easily go past players and create a lot too imo. That's why I can't really understand why people want to throw a world record fee at him in his age, especially with our problems to create chances I think he would be a very underwhelming signing in relation to his abilities (of course he would be still the best player in the league and improve us a level, no doubt about that.)
Neymar really impressed me, he is not only scoring for fun, but also has so much more to his game. He can create and even showed playmaking abilities and took over Messi's role a bit. He really is an outstanding talent and the player to beat after the Messi/Ronaldo era.

That's Perez policy
Barca have been facing teams who park the bus for far longer than United, whether it's in Spain or in the CL. There is just a big difference in how quickly they move the ball once they retrieve (thanks to their crazy pressing method) in order to exploit the spaces created. That and the fact that technically they're a much better team in terms of passing so they attempt more creative passing which opens up spaces.I still think his goal scoring record would be half shit at United, every time I see a highlight of his goals it's from counter attacking or just fast attacks before the team can full set up whereas here he'd have to try run at 11 men behind the ball
If Utd move the ball quicker then really the chances and openings would increase so much but you need to very good ball playing and quick thinking players.
Aye. It's very nice. But for all the hype I wouldn't put it on the same level as Bergkamp's against Newcastle, Ginola's for Newcastle or Gazza's against Scotland. Mainly because Neymar gets the ball in quite a bit of space, so the defender's playing catch-up from the start.
I loved Suarez' pass as much as the skill from Neymar for the goal
I'm not entirely sure why so many are surprised. He was 17/18 when he had that monsterous season for Santos, 6 years ago. Where on this planet in a countries top league does a 17 year old score 40+ goals? Fair enough, it's the Brazilian league, and some may not rate it like the PL or La Liga, but he was a kid scoring some sensational goals at an incredible rate.
I was actually very surprised that he hadn't moved to Europe immediately after that season.

Phenomenalinho.
Inaki Williams's goal yesterday was miles better.
Yeah. It's basically a lesser version of Gazza vs Scotland, with a Kanchelskis twirl thrown in.
It's a lovely goal to watch, but it's not hard or particularly audacious.
Doesn't demean Neymar's talent or anything to say it either. Sure it was a pretty standard training ground one for him.
His best scoring record in Brazilian league is 17 goals. Not close to 40. But I agree with your general point though
He scored 43 goals in 47 games overall that season, though. I assume he wasn't just on about the league.His best scoring record in Brazilian league is 17 goals. Not close to 40. But I agree with your general point though
Easily the second best player in the world right now imo. Ronaldo, Suarez and Lewandowski all competing for third. Could make a case for Suarez being number 2 as well.
a lot of these goals came in the state championship and our "FA cup", which you play terrible teams for 80% of the time.
He scored 42 in 60 back in 2010, and 43 in 47 a couple of years later, as a 17-18 and 19-20 year old, repsectively.His best scoring record in Brazilian league is 17 goals. Not close to 40. But I agree with your general point though
