Both quality players but one spends more time on the pitch.
Neymar would go missing in the Premier League. Give me an Argie over a Brazilian any day.
I see your Veron (Argy) and raise you Fernandinho!
Seriously though, Neymar would smash the PL, surely. Plus the point Phips made is that these days Aguero is spending a bit more time on the sidelines and taking a bit longer to return to match sharpness when he comes back. Maybe a solid guy who is rarely injured but isn't as lethal as Kun is better overall than Kun?

Fair point about Fernandinho, but I see Neymar as more of a Robinho. I think he looks great in that Barca team, but wouldn't trust him at Stoke on wet Wednesday night.;-)

Everyone's allowed an off day. It's what he'd do in the 30/35 other PL games he'd play as he isn't as injured as much that would count. Plus, there are some pretty shitty away grounds in Spain where contrary to popular belief it also pisses it down sometimes. He is used to that.
I understand your fear of his adapting but there really is no reason to assume he wouldn't do anything but smash it. He is a contender in the ballon d'or, therefore a world class player who should be able to adapt. It is not going to happen but I would not be sad to see Kun go if we got Neymar as a replacement, and it love Kun

I'll admit l don't watch Barca very often. I used to, but have got a bit sick of them. He has filled in well when Messi was out, but I can't get out of my head, the impression thst he gave me on viewing him last season.
He strikes me as the kind of player that will score the last two in a 5-1 win and look great when thevteam is flying. Maybe a bit harsh, but he's never really impressed me. Not my kind of player.
As for Ballon D'Or. He's playing for the right club and it's all about the marketing. Means nothing really.
We'll just agree to disagree on this one NB.
I'd hold off on getting rid of Kun. I love the guy.......
In a totally non-gay manly kind of way.

Sergio Aguero wants to finish career with Manchester City - sourcesSergio Aguero has informed Manchester City he is willing to finish his career at the Etihad, sources close to both the player and the club have told ESPN FC, and officials no longer worry he has any desire to return to Spain.
The 27-year-old is set to sign a contract extension until 2020, but City believe his relationship with the club and their key figures is now so strong that he is prepared to stay at the club until he retires.
Aguero moved to Manchester from Atletico Madrid in 2011 and, since then, a perceived desire to return to Spain has weighed on the minds of City officials.
Barcelona tried to buy the Argentine in 2014, only to move for Luis Suarez of Liverpool when they couldn't force the hand of the Etihad hierarchy. Real Madrid still retain an interest in the striker.
Aguero himself has a close friendship with many players in Spain, particularly countryman Leo Messi, and has also been interested in a return for both lifestyle and family reasons.
Over the last two years, however, City have worked hard to strengthen their bond with the player. Relationships are now said by high-level sources to be so good that Aguero fully identifies with the club and fans.
The sources added that Aguero is completely dedicated to the project and is very excited about working with Pep Guardiola.

Undoubtedly one of the best players in the world and the best player in the Premier League.
Only his injuries hold him back at times but hopefully he can stay fit until the end of the season.
I can see him heading back to Argentina to finish his career but would love him to stay here until he decides to.

You'll notice it was a SKY news feed. Therefore it us very likely to be at best, biased and at worst, just not true.

Too true. I doubt he was speaking English when answering the questions. I was a fan of Ipswich, not a supporter, but I liked ipswich and would have classed them as my second team.

On Twitter he said a surprise tomorrow, so maybe he's joining Barca.

Or maybe SKY had it right all these years and he's off to light a few candles

Maybe he's decided to get a decent haircut and not one of a five year old?

Aguero really is a surprise for me.
From the outside, he looks like a pure and simple mercenary. Not a bad thing, many of football players do that, it is their job and in this modern football days, you are not allowed to really have sympathies. Sadly, that will not help you put food on the table.
Thai being said.
You could not be more wrong about Sergio. He is devoted to the clubs like we had not seen in a while. It is not just the money, PSG, Real or Barcelona can pay the same, but he genuine loves the club and what happend here. He will never play for Real, because of respect he has towards Atletico, he will never play for Boca or River, because of the respect he has towards Independiente and he will never play for other EPL team because of the respect he has towards us.
The past years I saw many cunts that had the captain armbad (Yes Yaya, I am looking at you), but never once saw it on the arm of the guy that went in Hell and dragged us to heaven in 2012.
or of course, my post can be shite and he actually is going to Barca.
