CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Monaco getting the same abuse PSG suffered last season for buying expensive talent, "why would anyone like Thiago Silva go to a league like that" blah blah, get the feeling Ligue 1 will be like a lesser version of the PL soon, they might even get their co-efficient back up soon and have a "4-way" with Monaco, PSG, Lyon and Marseille. With some of the others occasionally trying to break in. Obviously this related to the Rodriguez and Moutinho to Monaco. Wouldn't surprise me if they went for Kompany, whether he'd go is another matter. I see it as a flash in the pan, myself. Their higher rate of tax will go up to 75% soon (can't remember when, if it hasn't already), which effects everyone bar Monaco. The players attracted to France for money at the minute will go, get big wages and leave when their tax status changes. In a way the UK is in a decent place compared to the bigger leagues, but as we've seen recently, places like Turkey suddenly become a lot more attractive when the higher rate of tax is less than half of that in mainland Europe...

Dr_Pangloss Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 i can see a major flop on cards here. the new Robinho Possible, I haven't personally been all that impressed by him whenever I've seen him play. Will be interesting to see how it pans out for him at Barca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see how it pans out for him at Barca. Agreed. He seems very selfish too, not sure that really fits in with how they play.

AVFCforever1991 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Guess it all depends on whether he adapts to the Barca way or not. Whenever I've seen him, he's not been that impressive. Be interesting if can make the step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troglodyte Posted May 25, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted May 25, 2013 Are these times that those have seen Neymar play, and been unimpressed, limited to the recent England v Brazil international, and possibly one or two further friendlies?

AVFCforever1991 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) Who knows, he might come to Europe and be sensational.. He clearly has the talent to achieve it, can only wait and see if he fulfils his potential.. I think he'll be a success..

AVFCforever1991 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Is there room for Neymar and Messi in the same team? Yeah, Neymar can play AML, out on the wing cutting in.. Like Villa does now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 He's essentially Villa's replacement. What they need is a few big chaps to ruffle some feathers, or else they'll just come up against some bigger boys and get battered again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Lewandowski has not signed for bayern, or maybe I can't find a source. link please Not sure if it has been released to press yet but it's been talked about a lot. Listened to the footballers weekly Monday and Fjortoff (spg) was pretty adamant that it was a done deal, he says all his contacts in Germany say this.

The_Rev Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) Neymar to Barcelona confirmed. He signing a five year contract. This was posted by him on Instagram. If your Portuguese is a bit rusty then a Google translation is below: Guys! 'm Here reunited with friends and family and they have helped me to write a few things here ... It's not going to hold out until Monday ... My family and friends already know my decision. Monday sign a contract with Barcelona. I want to thank the fans of Santos by these incredible nine years. My feeling for the club and the fans will never change. It is eternal! Only a club like Santos FC could give me everything I have lived on and off the field. I thank the wonderful fans who supported me fish even in the most difficult moments. Titles, goals, dribbling, celebrations and songs that fans created for me will be forever in my heart ... I made sure to play in the match tomorrow in Brasilia. I want to have the opportunity to once again take the field with the "mantle" and hear the crowd scream my name ... as the hymn says, "it is an honor that not everyone can have ..." It is a different time for me, sad (farewell) and cheerful (new challenge). May God bless me in my choices ... And I'm always in Santos! # Toiss Edited May 26, 2013 by The_Rev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
