Yea but then again £80mm for Ronaldo and £90mm for bale were crazy at the time also. I know Bale gets injured slot but he delivers when he's on the pitch and still just turned 28

Nah, Ronaldo was worth it at the time. He was the best player in the world at that time. 80 for Ronaldo wasn't unbelievable to me at that time. Neymar isn't double the player Ronaldo is or was then.

Neymar Sr finessed the shyt out of Barca if they pay him 26mil they promised him if Neymar would be still at Barca on the 31st of July. Which he technically was.
This nikka damn near made more money then Messi in Neymars stay at Barca.

:dwillhuh:

The money paid for CR7 was ground breaking and shocking at the time. In hindsight he been worth every penny. But that world record been discussed for months after.

Second of all cr7 in ManU was a completely different player then at RM and very much comparable to Neymar in terms of stats and entertainment.

United got robbed. Ferguson proved United wasn't all about Ronaldo tho.

La Liga about to be boring as hell. R.Madrid gonna just win everything every season. Barca are too reliant on Messi & Suarez. You cant expect two players to carry a whole team.

in the span of a year the record was broken and very possible to change again Messi is only $300M
City can pay that if Messi shows intention that he want's to leave
