The guy has a lot of supporters and justifiably so. He is exceptionally skilled.
However as I've repeatedly tweeted the past year and even today, he goes down far too often and far too easily.
Spain should suit him fine except for when he plays Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid who play a more physical style. Had he gone to Germany, Italy or England he would have been killed. I will be paying close attention to how he performs in La Liga and Champions League. He's got killer skills but my concern with him has always been his small physique.

Iniesta is a wizard on the ball and in terms of passing. But he's nowhere near the talent level of the 3 mentioned thus far...and even he would admit that.

??? we don't have the same definition of talent then
Neymar is a playground player in comparison but then again, I don't have the same definition of talent obviously

agreed Fever. I also worry that the better defensive schemed europeans teams will cause him a period of underperformance leading to an adpation period which could in turn hurt some of his confidence.

Needs to grow into his body and gain some muscle for sure that'll help no doubt otherwise mofos will take his lunch money all day..... Also please stop flopping at the lightest of contact makes you look like a pusssy....
BACK PATTING and KISSING threads are like passing HAM SANDWICHES around over and over-wall

No doubt he can play, but for me I believe he needs to put on more weight and beef up or defenses will kill him in the big leagues. My brother is a college head coach and he feels the same way about the big leagues and he dives too much, so Italy would would be perfect..lol

Has hit it right on the head.....Neymar needs to prove himself.......vs better talent.....I will go as far as saying he plays much "softer" than most skilled players.....and emotionally is not as strong. He is quite young......time will tell.....he is in top tier tho!

Don't get me wrong ... I think he is a fantastic talent and has great potential. My worry is that he lacks the physical strength to play with the big boys. He'll do fine in Barcelona given that it is really a 2 team race every year but will be very interested to see how he does come Champions Leage play. Notice how easily and how frequently he goes down in the Confederation Cup.
As others have said, he does have to prove himself ... I was just making the observation that he looks and plays week on the physical/strength aspect of the game but there is no doubting that he has the skills to make up for that. However, until he plays against the world's best in Europe we will never really know whether he becomes a super star or just a GOOD and exciting player.
