Neymar in Barcelona. thoughts?

[j.will]

Watching Neymar in Brasil or Santos is one thing. There are different various thoughts about his talent. But the way how he will play alongside Messi thats the question. I believe that with the help of messi he could be a crack.

Chelini might be a good player, that's really probable as he is in the national team but i am doubtfull if he fits Barcelona style of defending that demands strong and fast players with good technique.

I watched today Brasil against Japan. Neymar was really great. He can accelerate, he can dribble, pass, he seems to be strong. The only thing that makes my worried is that he falls on the ground so many times durng the game with full of pain faice. He needs to be more responsible otherwise he's gonna retire at 25years old.

Even if you take out Messi's 46 league goals, that still is 69 goals scored and only two other teams scored more than that.

The problem with Barca - as so expertly exploited by Bayern - is that they are both weak and thin in defense, they lack height/physicality and they subsequently suck at set plays. This almost 60m euros that they spent on a skinny, lightweight (and in my opinion overated) attacker takes away money they could have devoted to their actual need areas and instead (potentially) adds strength to an area they are allready incredibly strong in. How many more goals than 115 do you think they will score next year? Hell, chances are they might not even score that many. Even if they do - 130 goals? Is 60m euros worth 15 extra league goals? It is an idiotic signing.

HAHAHAH lol at this, especially the bold part...

175 goals scored with Neymar, Suárez and Messi.
