Neymar is very much an unknown quantity. Could be the next Robinho for all we know.

He has got talent no doubt,what remains to be seen is if he can work hard and adopt to European style of football. Defenders closing in on him,much less space to do all the fancy skills,learning to pass the ball to teammates who are of higher quality than him at the moment. Also,a right attitude won't hurt.

I'm now concerned that their team will be dismantled in the next couple of years. Lewa, Gundogan etc could walk into almost any team.

Agreed. Let's see if Klopp is as good as Wenger at building competitive squads despite losing the best players.

Benitez is the new Napoli manager. He has done very well to redeem himself after his last Italian debacle. Hope he does well.

Good for him.

Just imagine Left winger neymar, right winger iniesta and striker messi.

Iniesta will move to a more central role alongside or slightly ahead of Xavi now, I think. On the right they have Pedro.

So far Moutinho, Rodriguez, Falcao and Carvalho have joined Monaco. Victor Valdes is next.
And they're not assured of a place in Ligue 1 next season. They've filed a case in the French Supreme Court, though.

^ They do have a point, though. None of the Ligue 1 clubs objected to Monaco's status as a tax haven until the football club became a threat to them. Now they want them to pay taxes or a fixed sum of money to the remaining clubs in the league so as to compensate for their taxes. Something on those lines.

I read that one yesterday. They have a right to feel aggrieved. Taxation is a major part of expenses. Unlimited money plus no tax is very unfair.

^ That's alright, but why are they only raising this issue now, when Monaco have loadsamoney? The taxation system existed long before 2013 and so did Monaco. This is what is causing all sorts of arguments. They should have done something back when Monaco were CL regulars, and not waited for a time when they could easily lure the world's top players, thus endangering other clubs' prospects. The French must have assumed once Monaco were relegated, they won't have to deal with any such issues. :D

Obvious really. PSG pay Ibrahimovic 30m euros a year. His take home amount is 9m euros. Monaco need to pay just 9m euros to match his salary. So yeah, it is unfair. Ten years ago salaries weren't half as much so the tax advantage wasn't competitively harmful. I'm sure you know what I mean. :)
