Was just watching Brazil against Scotland, and this lad looks quality. I know it is very unrealistic, as i see him going to barca or Madrid. We are desperate for a striker, but would you be willing for us to pay the reported £30 million, Santos want for him, as he could flop in England.

I know I am dreaming but we can all hope!

Is he, NEYMAR not an anagram for MARNEY. If so I'd give him a wide berth.

is he what we need tho in a 4-5-1. we want someone who can lead the line. altho perhaps we will buy him and change our system because that is what we do. buy the player and ask questions later. it's worked so far to be fair.

Very lightweight and would need filling out (coming with age)...good talent obviously

He looks like a great player. Definitely worth the 30 million as he will probably be one of the biggest players in the world in a few years time but i'd guess he will make a move to spain.

we don't have to have a dzeko-type to lead the line. neymar is too young to be thrust into our current team and expect him to do the job, but he'll be a good player in years to come.

let's be honest, we're using defoe at the moment and if he was scoring goals in combo with VdV, we wouldn't be crying out for a big man up front.

if we had a 20m+ bid (or so) rejected for aguerro, i don't see how a 20m or so bid for neymar would be ridiculous. gomes & sandro being around helps and we'd just need to adapt our game to stop dawson and bae from lamping it up in the air.

I thought his partner today Leandro, also showed potential. Really attacked the ball with his head in the box, which would be a very welcome addition at the Lane! I think he plays for Internacional too...

This.

I thought he would be a really good fit for us playing up top in the 451 we play now. he shouldnt cost too much aswell, ~£10m?

Yeah I thought that. I think that was his 1st cap though so he may struggle to get a work permit.

Neymar looked good but I don't think he would come to England. I think he turned down a move to Chelsea last summer.

He should get one under the exceptional talent rule

Got a clause of 66 million in his contract so no chance.

I would be amazed if they sold him for that. I don't think that they will be in a position financially to hold out for that, unless he goes to Man City.
