I would love to see him at Barca, but I am definitely not so sure that he is the "golden kid" everyone is saying. One thing is for sure: every year he stays at Santos, is a wasted one. He is not going to get any better there. He should have went to Europe, BEFORE this season. Only in Europe, he could get "harder" and they will for sure make him stop his diving everytime one touches him slightly. If he has the absolute will and power to try it in Europe, he could be a fcking BIG one of a player. Right now, he is nothing, but an overtalented young player, in a mediocre league where he has no serious competition. And never forget about Robinho, who was absolutely hyped when he was still at Santos. No less talent, no less skill, he was considered the next Pele! And now? A normal player, nothing special about him any more. I really do hope Neymar makes it. But am I convinced yet? No. Not until he shows the balls to try it in Europe.
