Neymar

[JHB]

Neymar has returned to Santos after his spell basically achieving nowt in Saudi Arabia despite a huge transfer fee and wages. He’s only 32. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a player with such a big gap between his profile, celebratory status, transfer fees and what he actually produces on the pitch.

If he was paid for diving he'd be massivly underpaid!!

Not to defend him, as I'm not a fan, but i think he did his ACL in Saudi and so wasn't named as one of the 8 foreign players they are allowed in the squad.

There was a report last week that at Al-Hilal in 2024 he was paid €101 million. He played in two games with a total of 42 minutes on the pitch.

for a minute i thought he had demised somewhat tragically.

Neymar, another fella lauded for all his greatness and yet where are the goals ? Giroud springs to mind, or even MBappe.

Bit unfair since Neymar and Giroud are the record goalscorers for their countries and Mbappe is third highest for France.
