No idea, though i've seen the rumours obviously.

Even if that were the case, it doesn't mean much if he's going to stop trying for the guy because of one game on the right.

Neymar sh*ts on Ribery.

You cant built a team around Ribery. If you do that, then you lose 0-4 to Barcelona in 2009 or get knocked out of the Group Stages at the 2010 World Cup lmao.

Robben was the key player for Bayern last year(against Barca and Dortmund).

Didnt Ribery get subbed off when it was a tie game in the CL final in 2012?'? Can you imagine Ronaldo, Messi or Neymar getting subbed off in that scenario?

Bayern's team in 2009 was total sh*t. They were relying on guys like Rensing, Oddo, Lell or Breno

Where are these guys now?

Breno in jail.
Oddo retired.
Rensing in 2nd league backup goal keeper.
Lell doesn't even make Levantes rotation these days.

Not sure how you can make this an argument that Ribery can't lead a team to a victory over the best team of possibly all-time. But ok go on until you reach the status that nobody will take you serious anymore if you haven't already.

Lulzors, that post is hilarious. If you build a team around Neymar you probably wouldn't even win the liberadores, much less a real tourney like the CL.

The most offensive part of that post is putting Neymar in the same breath as Ronaldo and Messi. Can someone tell me what he's done besides put up stats against Mickey Mouse competition and play a key role in the worst Barcelona team in almost a decade?

Neymar should maybe get to a CL final before we discuss whether he'll be substituted in that scenario.

Well, it's okay to doubt Neymar, I wouldn't put him even in my offensive top 10 and I have watched him closely since the day he was born for soccer since I'm Brazilian and for a long time I watched a ton of under class tournaments, not to mention he debuted for first teams quite early, at 17.

But I don't like the notion you got of Brazilian competition. Brazilian league is way more competitive than Portugal, France, Holland, and I bet a 10th place team in Brazilian Serie A can blow a 10th place team in Spain or Italy out of the water with ease. Just to illustrate that, Neymar never got Santos to Libertadores through the Serie A, which means finishing top 4 in the league (here in Brazil we award Brazilian Cup winners with a Libertadores spot). There's just no way a goal scored on Almeria, Catania, Granada or Cagliari is worth more than a goal scored on Internacional (13th last season), Fluminense (15th) or Flamengo (16th).

He's overrated anyway. I don't know how he got so much hype, he's just too charismatic and his game is very aeshetically pleasant, Brazilian media never showed so much power on overhyping a player. Lucas Moura was another guy, never was even a top 10 Serie A player and got sold for that kind of money. :crazy:
