Not doubting neymars quality (is is also the best spring board diver in the world) but your suggestion that we would be in any position to sign, not a chance, we couldn't afford to sign any of his unborn offspring ffsNos89 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 20, 2019 12:26 amWhen I hear talk about big big players being signed I think of Bergkamp, Overmars, Henry, Arshavin and Ozil. Top drawer world class talent. There is a scarcity of world class players, Neymar is a bonafide world class player. None of the players we are linked to come anywhere near the "big, big" signings I'd expect to go with that moniker. I know we won't sign Neymar, (although given he's been linked to united I don't see why not, they're in the same boat as us), then I don't want to hear that phrase being used as a carrott. Zaha is not a "big big" signing, he's adequate at best.LeftfootlegendGooner wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2019 2:57 pmHow is it up there on your planet with all the other ClangersNos89 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2019 1:17 pmUnless these big, big signings involve the name Neymar, than they really are not that big a signing.
It would be interesting to see how things pan out for him as he's no doubt he's a talented player but Brazil winning the Copa, without him, and PSG willing to unload him leaves him at a point where he could fade into obscurity or do what Maradona did when he left Barcelona for Napoli, won then the UEFA Cup and league title. Wouldn't it be great if that was The Arsenal.![]()
If I was in Kroenke shoes, I'd dip my hands in my pockets and get Neymar on loan for one season, just to distract the moaning masses and see all the shirt sales with his name on the back rocket through the roof. Totally not what the club needs but a bit of glamour and a sprinkle of stardust cheers everyone up.
