Okay, Neymar might be a little cunting shit with fucked hair but he's 10x the player Raheem is right now. And they could certainly play together no danger.
Neymar makes it easy to hate him, but he's a tasty little player who has shown in the last two tournaments that even an average side like Brasil has built around him can get great results almost solely on his back.
I'd love him at City.

Don't get me wrong, I'd have him, just so long as we kept the likes of Raheem, however, if Neymar did come in, I could see Raheem either playing off the striker, or on the bench as he would not dislodge KDB or Silva.
Tick tock tick tock.

But is he fit enough to play in England?

I agree Busquets is just the sort of midfielder we have been missing all season imo.
We have been missing a horrible diving cheating twat?
No thanks, I'd rather lose with dignity.
That type of player without the diving etc would be a nice addition though.

Another Alaba rumour.
Pep Guardiola reportedly wants Bayern Munich defender David Alaba to join him at Manchester City.
Having agreed to takeover at the Etihad this summer, the 45-year-old is already eyeing transfer targets – and sees the full-back area as a priority according to the Daily Star.
Alaba is very versatile, being able to play at full-back, on the wing, in central midfield, or even as part of a back three.
However, it would be a pricey move for the Citizens, with the 23-year-old having two years left on his contract – and being rated at £40million.

It's hard to know what to believe these days but he would suit us down to the ground.

i wouldn't be surprised at all to see us bring in a fullback or two - and a midfielder since I think Yaya will leave. (By bring in, I'm including players from our Academy as well, in case Pep fancies any of them)

We aren't selling Raheem because we need English players on the squad list. If by some miracle we got Neymar, Sterling would rotate with our other attacking mids like he is already.
The writing has been on the wall for Nasri as soon as we signed KDB.

We need more pace in the team all round and more pace of passing. Sterling is not the finished article but he does have pace and he's English. He'll surely stay. Nasri will likely leave. Navas has pace and is very hard working but there's not enough end product and I think he'll go too. We're not going to get any of the Barca front three IMO. Why would they want to leave? Alaba would be a fantastic addition in a position we desperately need strengthening and can play midfield too. We also need a couple of midfield players; a play maker and a defensive midfielder who can really cover the ground. I actually think Fernando is not a bad player at all but perhaps not good enough. MDM is off and Denayer might come in to the number four slot. The question is whether Mangala goes and I think he might. If so we'll be looking for a centre back. Again!

Nice idea but we don't need that.
Central midfield must be by far the biggest priority this summer. We all know about Yaya however Fern1 wont go on for ever either. If we don't act we will be very short in there.
After that a good look at the full backs, both sides, and a centre half.
Realistically we need 5.

Centre-half not sure.
He's not going to ditch Vinnie. Keep him fit and he's ace. Otomendi for me should be his sidekick. Mangala is still young(ish) and should be given time to grow into the hole that Vinnie will leave when he's past it. Don't think there is a need to spend here at the moment if they handle the kids and Denayer properly so they are able to step in if disaster strikes.
Two of the fullbacks we currently have should be retained and two new ones signed, probably as first choice with Zabba and Kolorov as cover.
Centre mid has been our undoing so many times this season it is not funny. This should be the main focus.

i cant see Sterling ever starting for Pep in big matches unless there are injuries to the squad or he vastly, vastly improves. he's basically Navas right now.

You don't think Pep had any say in our pursuit of Sterling then?
Basically Navas? He's already scored more goals in his first season with the club than Navas has done since signing in 13/14.

Suarez has said he will never come back unless it's to play for the scousers. Forget him and his stupid penalty routines.

Give sterling a break he just turned 21, for crying out loud, he's not going to hit his peak at 21!!!
Not saying he's definitely going to be world class, up there with the Zidanes of this world, but give the chap a chance. He has a lot to learn and he will improve, how much he improves is up to him, but he seems to have the sence cop on and application to do it, he just needs the time.
Panicking and selling him would be something the swamp creatures would do, just like di Maria.

Suarez would fit with the Pep Idea forwards work for 90 mins and take the fight to anyone anywhere. As mush as I love Kun, Suarez is a footballer who makes teams tick.
