Welcome to the best club in the world Dembele. You have the rare opportunity of playing under the tutelage of the greatest footballer of all time, thus enhancing your chance of becoming the best in the world in a foreseeable future.
This is wishing you play your game without allowing undue pressure and hype carry you away. You are stepping into the shoes bigger than you, all you need is to keep your composure, play your game and make the fans happy. There's no better club to play than FC Barcelona, just more than a club!

jpmoriarti:
Would you rather come here and meet a boring, dry thread? I like them. Our thread keeps growing and gaining vibrancy.

The thread is already boring with all the Neymar this Neymar that already.

dmcdad:
O boi the thread tire me these days... Them don hijack am from us ooooo.

Na to just sitdown dey look

......smh....i tire for this thread sha.

ddippset:
ive got a feeling alba is capable of rediscovering himself.

I hope so ooooo.

dmcdad:
When I wailed about the potential sale of Grimaldo, jpmoriarti said it was the best decision as orchestrated by Lucho... Now see...?

I just tire for this yeye board walahi

ddippset:
INS- messi. suarez. semedo. busquets. alba. digne. vidal. roberto. dennis. deolefeu. iniesta. coutinho. dembele. umtiti. pique. paulinho. alcacer. OUTS- rakitic. gomez. mascherano. turan. ter stagen.

Alba too should have been on the list had we not given away a certain Grimaldo.

ddippset:
thank God.

He should just go and rest well. I have been having issue with him since last season.

Ter Stegen is another suspect! He threatened us to get the 1st spot, he's now struggling to hold it firm.

Congratulations to Madrid, the best team in the world presently.

Those of us that were around during Rijkard era believe strongly that this too shall pass. All I need while the phase passes?
Suarez should just find a new club during his spell on the treatment table. It can't be worse with Paco or anybody out there.
Bring in the kids from the academy, I don't care if this season is all about experiment
All the board members from top to bottom should be fired.

When Deulofue was still at the academy, he was praised as the next Messi needing just fine tuning and lessons on how not to take on all the opponents before placing the next pass. I still wonder why his development has been greatly stalled ever since then. Same applies to almost all the academy players now.

Those expecting us to win big with the same last season Suarez should better be prepared for a long season.

Btw, bykebyke, you dey craze for that Paulinho gif oooo na to just faint the day he wears our jersey and runs into the pitch. I hope my wifey would be around to wake me up then.

ddippset:
and that is wrong too. people love controversies and that is why they are bringing this bullllshit up now. controversy sells. after the psg match, a lot of headlines were actually about how neymar stole the show and had a 10/10 performance. in fact a lot of captions were about how messi flopped against psg. neymar actually got his very due credit in the media after the psg game. abeg people should find another excuse for neymar abeg. messi really shared the line light with neymar and suarez, giving them assists, free kicks and pks. there were several stints when neymar went all goal droughts and messi kept on giving him pks and free kicks. several times last season he kept on throwing away chances and everything. abeg neymar or the media shouldn't bring any excuse. his camp should own up and agree they went for money and to be the top superstar in a team. we don't want that messi psg photo which only became something like a meme as a very convenient excuse from the media.

I just dey look Dmc with one eye for that his 'that's true' post.
I can't remember anyone even on this thread praising Messi over Neymar after that Psg game. Even the haters also joined us in praising Neymar to high heavens.
Like I said before, if Neymar was consistent last season and could put up such performance against Psg in the match against Juve and we ended up winning the UCL,everyone would be clamouring for him to win the next Ballon d'or over Messi.
I wish him success in his future endeavour, I just hate to be hearing/reading that he had to go because he was living in Messi's shadow.

hensben:
Real Madrid will sign Neymar from PSG in two years time. You heard it from me first.

Na lie sir!
This has been predicted on Barca thread 2 or 3 days ago.

Madrid fans are happily supporting Neymar's move away from us because it actually means less headache for them in the league while they are also assured of him wearing their jersey in the nearest future

Welcome to the month of August, let the season just begin already!

ollah1:
Simply because he doesn't need the love of the fans. He fought Semedo, smashed Barca's jersey on the ground, went to Madrid dressing room and exited with two jerseys. Lol.

He is already a Madrid player but will be unveiled in 3 years time.

My thought exactly!

dmcdad:
Brazilians sef... Smh.

I wish am well sha. My pain na whether the useless board go make good use of that money. With such an amount, you suppose dey super-competitive on all fronts. But then, we know people wey we get.

God help my dear club.

And please, can we just stop the Neymar this, Neymar that thing on this thread? He ain't our player anymore, so I feel we should concern ourselves more with our players or potential players. Ahh!

We have clueless guys handling our club affairs. It's a pity.

Eruditor:
€222M and you are asking for add-ons? Why do you think add-ons are provided at all?

If Neymar leaves, kudos to him. The game is about money finally. He is better than whoever we would use to replace him but we can still get good players to work in our system.

I have no grievances for him or his dad. Most of us here would do same.

Most of us would do same, but not in the way and manner at which it's done. Why all the drama? Why not leave gently and still find a way of having the fans on your side?

If we are going into the new season with the same Suarez of last season, I am afraid, we might be having a long season already.
Suarez needs to wake up and bring out the monster in him again.

dmcdad:
Me too.

I am beginning to think Madrid have a hand in this ish. Don't be surprised if your starboy lines up against us in el classico in two/three years to come. By then, the love story would have been over

dmcdad:
Praise him biti bawo? Firstly, I am a football fan and a fan of FCBarcelona. But I also like Ney, that is a fact. FCB ain't FC Neymar or Messi FC. Nah... It's FCBarcelona and that's the one and only club I'm in love with.

As much as I don't have and won't hold anything against him leaving, considering the circumstances... It would really be disheartening to me if he leaves in such a fashion. Well, it seems he is more out now than in. So, at this juncture it shouldn't be a case of if he leaves, but a case of when, as it's just a matter of time before he leaves, but he would surely leave.

My only worry honestly is that there is no one that can replace him presently. And knowing how much we so rely on our forward line, it would be very difficult going forward. I sometimes laugh at the cluelessness of some of us who tend to disregard him using Pedro, since Pedro was largely successful with the club. Same people forget that then and now aren't same in any way. With our midfield then, you could put me upfront and I won't disappoint. But during Lucho's time, and coincidentally too, the heavy legs of Xaviesta, it became difficult doing it from the midfield. Plus, the additions we've had over the last few years aren't anywhere near the aforementioned duo. Hence, the focus shifted entirely to the fearsome 'MSN' triumvirate. And taking away one of the major catalyst of such fellows is gonna be disastrous to say the least.

His replacement, well not necessarily his replacement, but someone or players to help fill the void to some extent would need to be technically astute too. Would honestly have loved to have Sanchez back if it would warrant it. IMHO, he would be the best bet at this juncture.

Meanwhile, as for Ney and his drama... I just don't have anything to say about him. But the truth is, I'm tired. And as much as it would hurt to admit this, he should just go already. Because with this saga that ensued, if he ends up not going, especially with the commotion, bitterness and the unrest he has caused the club, his teammates and the fans, it would be very difficult to win back the love. More like a 'lost love'... Very difficult to win back. I'd definitely wish him well in his new quest and I hope he finds what he seeks. Still like him though. Infact, nothing he has done would take away the likeness I have for him. But to say the truth, I don't want him in my club anymore. I'm fedup with this melodrama.

So, it's as obvious as the sunlight now that he is definitely leaving. I don't see him as a Barça player anymore.

But will the €222m be worth it? I honestly doubt that. Yeah, that's a huge sum of money. But then, what's the use of having alot of money and you either don't know what to do with it or you can't get something that would make you happy or bring about some positives? If it could be well utilised, then I say let's do it. Even if the money would be squandered, we have nothing to say because the lad has seemingly chosen to head out rather than remain. Why hold him back? Leave him be... I wish him good luck though. But e pain me sha.

Well said bro!


They way the whole saga is playing out, neymar has already turned the fans against himself. He should not expect any warm welcome at the Nou Camp whenever we are playing against PSG.
With all the 'tearing of shirt, collecting Madrid shirts' palava, I will not be surprised seeing Neymar in Madrid jersey in two/three years. The whole saga is quite disgusting considering the love, support and every thing the fans have shown him.

As regards his replacement, he might not have any upgrade out there presently, but believe me, if not for the clueless nature of the useless board we have, replacing Ney wouldn't be a tough nut to crack. All we need is a relatively skillful player with an eye for goal. We would be fine. We won everything before Neymar. We will survive his departure.
He's let me down, I must confess!

Dmcdad!
Is your boy actually leaving? If he eventually leaves, how would you see the way and manner in which he leaves? Would you praise him for all the tricks and pranks that's been following the transfer rumours all these while?

Jonsnow92

I guess you are having a mistaken identity. I already advised you to check my reply to Bykebyke as regards my opinion about Neymar.
I only advised you to stop labelling those that don't view things in line with yours stupid.

Abeg, direct your question to those who think the club, players and fans should be on thier kneels begging Neymar and his dad.

I am centre forward but not a striker, I am a defender?

Someone should help me beg dlordsamurai to stop calling just any player Xavi again. From Oscar to Fabregas and now Coutinho?
Bro should know that someone like me holds Xavi as my best player of all time abeg stop calling every tom dick and harry Xavi. It's a pity we can't get another Xavi anywhere in the world again. Let's just call the names we have around without adding the name Xavi to them. That name is sacred!


Thanks in advance

jonsnow92:
My opinion also remains the opinion and logic of begging him is stupid..

I'm entitled to my opinion too yea?

Your opinion says Barca fans are stupid because some opined he should be begged which to you is stupid. Well done sir!

jonsnow92:
Should We beg Neymar to stay or not??..Are you in support of Neymar's attitude?..Yes or No?..Your answer goes a long way

I have stated my opinion about this question some few days ago. Kindly go through my discussion with byke. And I don't think those that think he should be begged are stupid. Everyone is entitled to his opinion.

jonsnow92:
Barca fans thinking Neymar is as big to the Club as Leo and Don Iniesta..I dont know whether to laugh or cry at this sheer Stupidity.. Little wonder the name Barkabots is mostly used



Albert Einstein was right all through his lifetime

"Two things are Infinite, The Universe and Human Stupidity, and I am not sure about the Universe"

Can you please quote just a post of any Barca fan who claimed Neymar is as big to Barca just as Messi is? Even the guys claiming Neymar should be begged never claimed such. Why these sudden and unnecessary attack on the fan base? Even if anyone has made such a claim, me thinks the appropriate word should have been 'some Barca fans' and not 'Barca fans'.
About the name 'barkabots', I believe it's just normal on this forum to label other club fans names and has nothing to do with what you just opined. Chelsea fans being called shekpites doesn't mean all of them are not sound, same as Man U or Madrid fans being called several names. Labelling the fans as stupid just because some stated their opinions is not just the best way to tow. We are all idiosyncratic in nature.

Chelseafan1:
Lol, no one says Neymar won't shine nor score goals.

He won't have life and trophies easy like he is having at Barca. Dts what we keep telling y'all Neymar fanboys .

How many Ucl and EPL sef all these guys wey u mention don win for arsenal, Man utd, City and Chelsea since they joined?

That is what we keep telling you people, you won't get the drift....

Zlatan with all his goals won only Europa and Carling cup, na ds kind cups Neymar wan take win Ballon D'or? Kane, highest goal scorer, how many trophies? Aguero, Silva, all of them, how many trophies with all their exploits.?

Or you think he will become invisible in the epl? Be like say Pep's case never still teach una any lesson say life is too easy in Madrid and Barcelona.

I just dey laugh.

Cc, sebod.

Bro, e be like say you go need go back to the basis of the argument, it's never been about trophies won but about impact.

airmark:
The same sanchez that scored 19 la liga goals in his last season in laliga and came to epl and got his numbers dropped, both in goals and assists is a reject? The same ozil that many arsenal fans call lazy midfielder, who is just playing for fun is the best midfielder? Mr sebodi hope this neymar issue has not affected you. Valdes and pique are two of your products who can testify. One came early and was banished for low quality. The other came with stvpid experience and got relegated to u21 team of man utd, at 33 years of age. Negredo and soldado have their own tales. Pedro came and needed to be drilled to measure up, playing nonsense in his first season. Epl is a risk for neymar, he is smart, he knows.

The definition of the word 'reject' has been over flogged on this thread. Common bro!
Fabregas, having spent many years as a captain of one of the top teams in your league without any league title to show for it, was withdrawn back home, refurbished, re branded and sent back only to win 2 league titles in 3 years. Talk of the power of la liga

We saw the need to help you guys further, we sent Pedro who was struggling hard to get a starting shirt, he's now become an important player over there.

Don't you wonder why we have not been poaching your best players recently? Hazard was once the best there, it's in records how he's offered himself to Madrid, even you sang his name to Madrid he's yet to be considered.
Mahrez was once the best, he's tried everything possible for Barca to look his side, we just don't care.
Kante is the current best, imagine Kante! The quality of the league has dropped. There's a need to help strengthen the league rather than tapping the good ones there.



We have now moved away from sending our rejects and second rated, we are now sending our bench warmers

Bro, I would stop being a football fan the day my club buys an epl bench warmer in a club record fee deal.

airmark:
You can get advice from someone lower to you who have an experience where you never being to. Wise rich men learn from poor people who were once rich men before, on stuffs that did them in. Epl? Neymar wont want that hard work and risk, i tell ya. Zuniga did him soft thing, it was night out. By the time shawcross come with a double decker, he will run away like di maria. Aspas who couldn'tscore a single goal in epl, before he was angrily sent back to laliga, was banging in goals with ease and 36yrs sluggish aduriz as laliga's leading goal scorers.

Hahahahahahaha......
Sanchez, a la Liga reject, who left because he couldn't bench Neyboy suddenly became the biggest player in one of your top teams and became the most wanted guy by almost all your co Shkpites
Ozil is currently the best midfielder in that same one of the top teams in your league. Ozil?
Yaya is now a City eternal legend, I mean Yaya Toure?
Zlatan turned himself to 'god' in United bro

All these players have one thing in common; la Liga.
While la liga keeps poaching the epl biggest players, the rejects, second rated and the bench warmers are being sent to you guys to become gods there.
Having dodged the big L in Lukaku, we handed you Shekpite a bigger one in ensuring you broke your transfer record on a mere bench warmer in Spain. The greatest L awaits you guys when he becomes another god in epl

Chelseafan1:
With how many UCL, EPL trophy or European nominations??

Even though these guys you are mentioning are their respective teams number 9.

They are expected to have the numbers, how any epl wingers have 20 league goals a season sef, Sanchez played as a striker for most of last season

You didn't get the drift bro!
If average joes like Lukaku and co could be doing it, if old pensioners like Zlatan could be doing it, if a player that left Barca because of Neyboi could be doing it, if rejects like Ozil, Sanchez can be doing it, if Aguero, Costa, Silva, Yaya who all left Spain can be doing it, a player of Neyboi calibre will set that league on fire sir. I know you can't get the drift

airmark:
Marcelo is another midget that helps the man in front to fly without wings. When you have him and alves doubling up for you upfront, you dont need a red bull, you got wings already. That's why when they asked him to pick a player in madrid he wanted in barca, he didnt mince words, he hurriedly named marcelo. Apart from the fact they are friends, no sane footballer will not admire his dashing runs. How i wish he can come to epl, but robinho and pato must have advised him.

Robinho and Pato are not in anyway fit to lace the boot of Neyboi. I would have loved him to go to epl if truly he's leaving Barca to at least prove you guys wrong and put all these arguments to rest once and for all. A league where Kane, Lukaku, Sanchez are the leading goal scorers
