Absolutely, a gentleman on and off the pitch.One of my favorite players as I was younger. I think the main reason is that he was class on and off the pitch as I can remember.
Look the GIFs and picture in the Neymar thread of an unofficial PSG forum!PSG fans must be in 7th heaven

So many pictures on that site. That happens if you don't have restrictions. Literally in every post is this picture. What's the meaning of it?State of ecstasy
Didn't understand it also. Maybe tears of joy. @Ecstatic will probably know that. That and reference to Houdini.So many pictures on that site. That happens if you don't have restrictions. Literally in every post is this picture. What's the meaning of it?
Exactly!Didn't understand it also. Maybe tears of joy. .
Each forum offers smileys. Some examples:That and reference to Houdini.
Some other pictures and memes did crack me up.
Come on, not even PSG fans believe that.Neymar didn’t make this move for the money, and is actually quite offended that anyone might think the wages of about £520,000-a-week were the driving force behind signing for PSG.

There is more to life than success or money, surely? It's not a binary choice.Come on, not even PSG fans believe that.
If you are still wanted by Real or Barcelona and decide to leave them you are leaving for reasons other than chances of winning a trophy.
My first thought was that it was a reference to the whole transfer. Like, turned the impossible into possible. You know, Houdini kinda stuff.Houdini is the name of the poster that created the thread about Neymar there: some have appreciated his long text.
1. It isn't a sensitive topic for me so I copy-paste your post hereI wanted to ask you outside of thread since this is sensitive topic
Someone mentioned it earlier in the thread and the economics of PSG and City are really something not seen before.
They aren't even a billionaire's toy but a strategic marketing, advertising and public relations long-term investment for their nation's relationship with the west.
A small, rich oil producing nation that wants to distinguish itself from the religious extremists by focusing on business interests that appeal to the West?
To me that seems smart strategy for Abu Dhabi and Qatar. Its a way to massively distinguish their tiny nations and gain favor in the West in case any number of the tension points in the middle east breaks down.
Plus its just known in economics that the middle eastern nations have to diversify. A nation-state cannot live on resource exportation. Its how many empires from Hapsburg Austria-hungary to Soviet Russia had problems.
They cannot maintain economies based solely on selling oil as they have been. Abu Dhabi and Qatar seem the most modern and trying to build infrastructure and industry and relationship with western economics.
sorry to go off topic to football
LOLSo much bullshit from Neymar, but I understand this is a standard PR routine. He says what PSG fans want to hear, which is nice for him.
He moved to PSG for money, to play with many Brazilians and to lead the team to the Champions League title as being the team's best player. In this order. He's not kidding anyone with these statements, except maybe some PSG fans and some really gullible people.
I have nothing against Neymar wanting to be the no1. He probably realized that he is not good enough to lead Barca, as a 30 years old Messi is comfortably better than him, and he moved to PSG where there is no Messi, no Suarez, no Ronaldo. There he is by far the team's best player.
I can respect that. Again, there's an old expression which says 'better to be 1st in a village than 2nd in Rome'. Now PSG is certainly not the football equivalent of a village, but you get the point.

Hmm, do you think he is better than Messi? Even Neymar himself knows he isn't.
Like any big star, Neymar has a big ego so he's confident in his capacity to contribute to the success of any team whoever his teammates.Hmm, do you think he is better than Messi? Even Neymar himself knows he isn't.
Well, I'm sure he is, and I already said I respect a player wanting to be number one. But Neymar should have taken the no1 spot at Barcelona on the field, by being better than Messi. He clearly is not. And instead of earning the no1 spot by matching the greatness of Messi on the field, he went to a team that is willing to give him the no1 spot from the first 10 mins in training. Instead of raising his level to meet a higher demand, he chose to lower the bar so he can be the best right now.Like any big star, Neymar has a big ego so he's confident in his capacity to contribute to the success of any team whoever his teammates.
Let's agree to disagree hereWell, I'm sure he does, and I already said I respect a player wanting to be number one. But Neymar should have taken the no1 spot at Barcelona on the field, by being better than Messi. He clearly is not. And instead of earning the no1 spot by matching the greatness of Messi on the field, he went to a team that is willing to give him the no1 spot from the first 10 mins in training.
Staying at a big team and becoming the best player of that team among world class stars, including the best ever (arguably) is a harder task than going to a lesser team, in a weak league, where you'll be the best player from the get go. All the bullshit in the world won't change that. Taking the reigns from the best ever at Barcelona would have been his greatest feat. He would've become a legend. He chose the easy way out, after realizing that he is not good enough to become the main man at Barca right now.
Yeah that is why you are so salty about his move.So much bullshit from Neymar, but I understand this is a standard PR routine. He says what PSG fans want to hear, which is nice for him.

Well, what can I say... I'm a romanticist in football. I believe in the passing on the torch, so when the guy who's supposed to receive the torch bails out, you have to feel a bit disappointed. But at the end of the day, Neymar didn't become the best player at Barca because he didn't have what it takes. He does have what it takes to be the best player at PSG though.Yeah that is why you are so salty about his move.
The part that really got me confused was 'If it was just about money, I could have gone somewhere else.'One thing I cannot understand is always the 'I didn't move here for money' talk. I mean sure, this doesn't have to be the main aim, even in this move, but this whole talk always sounds like getting a hefty pay raise is a bad thing.
Because in Europe people will criticize you until the end of times if you publicly admit that you wanted to get paid. We are a bunch of hypocrites.One thing I cannot understand is always the 'I didn't move here for money' talk.

There was nothing romantic about Neymar signing for Barca from Santos in the first place.Well, what can I say... I'm a romanticist in football.

The Chewbacca post had me in tearsAbsolutely, a gentleman on and off the pitch.
In terms of style of play, the video is a good illustration

Without Neymar, there will be no magic win against PSG. Hundred millions eyes witnessed it.He probably realized that he is not good enough to lead Barca, as a 30 years old Messi is comfortably better than him, and he moved to PSG where there is no Messi, no Suarez, no Ronaldo. There he is by far the team's best player.
Barca have been a bit of a joke with their signings. Digne has always been a clown and appearing for his presentation after a nose surgery made me laugh so hard.Last season, PSG sold Lucas Digne to Barcelona for 20 millions of euros.
