LOLOL

NEYMAR >>>>>

Not on coming Europe and testing himself

Enjoying the nice life

[gemma]

he's just had a baby and he is still young so i guess he thought it'd be best for him to stay

in 2014 he'll only be 22, not exactly old

[Trim]

I cant criticise him for this tbh, hope he develops more as a player at Santos before he moves on, has all the attributes to be a great and this seems quite a mature decision from him.

Think its strange he's getting so much criticism for it considering the sheer amount of people who say "he came to europe too soon" about other players when they leave their team young and it doesn't go so well. Swear people forget neymar is only 19 and how quickly things can change in football, signing a new contract doesn't mean massive amounts in football anymore. Obviously theres the quotes but (even though i DO see him fulfilling that contract and remaining there to the 2014 WC) its not exactly guaranteed, plenty of times players have signed new deals stating how much they want to stay at a club for many more years then end up leaving before said contract is up.

As much as i'd love to see him in european football asap, its good to see him being patient and trying to improve before making such a big move. Should be good for his career.

Good decision on his part.

[CarltonLeach]

He's going to be the first major Brazilian talent to stay into his early twenties before moving to europe.

Will be interesting to see how it works out when he does move.

[FANTA]

contracts don't mean anything these days but it's a good thing on his part that he's not rushing into a move

the list of talent casualties that moved to early from south america is loooooong, credit to his team

[Guest Portuguese]

[O Fenomeno]

Ronaldo wants Neymar in Europe ASAP

When he does Ronaldo says Neymar will be better than Messi

We will see

[Mephisto]

So much pressure on this guy.

Espec as the current world's best is Argentinian.

Whats his pace & power like?

[O Fenomeno]

He is a footballer no need for pace and power.

[O Fenomeno]

Pace/power isn't everything

His likely destination is Barca so why would power and pace be essential to him

Neymar is a craque

[Martin King Louie Jr]

Well pace and power is important to him, he isn't a Rui Costa or a Zidane mate.

Neymar is a craque

I meant more along the lines of explosive acceleration with the power to hold off his marker?

[O Fenomeno]

Dribbling at (pace)

(Power)in his shots

He is quicker with the ball than without

You see I thought you expected him to be a speed merchant that's why I thought it was irrelevant

He is very slight that's why he tends to dribble past defenders than try hold them off.

[gattsu]

im sorry but nobody is quicker with a ball than without

not trying to be a smartass or anything but thats just silly
