not united related but have watched the Brazilian national team in there last to games I no it only two games and I have been far from impressed with neymar I don't no how he is doing in his native league as I do not watch the brazilian league often I just think he is overrated on what I have seen would like your thoughts and who is the best young prospect out there atm cheers guys

He's a good player, but the £50m price-tag is a bit OTT. I think he would adapt well in La Liga or in Italy, but he would be crucified in the EPL. He may adapt over time though.

I've been really impressed with draxler and isco.
I've seen a good bit of neymar in the past and I think he's a fantastic talent although the age he is and coming from from Brazil he would be a bit of a gamble especially at the price.

Do you think he would reach the highs that he has been touted to? and I rate isco high not seen draxler tho

It's hard to say because the expectations are so high.
His the the best young player I've seen he has all the tricks and flicks of the next superstar but end product as well.
54 goals in a 102 games for Santos and 17 goals in 30 games for Brazil at 21 years old is amazing and many of them goals where amazing as well.

A lot can happen but I think he will be one of the best players in world in the near future and that's why the price is so high.
But when you look at what hazard and Lucas are going for and think how much a 21 year old messi would go for he may be worth the gamble

I think neymar doesn't travel well, he plays well domestically but tends to struggle abroad. He wasn't great in the olympics. The other night against russia he looked poor until hulk came on. I also don't think the pressure being heaped on him helps. You have pele and others like rivaldo saying he's in the same class as messi when he isn't. And others saying he's the face and the big hope of brazil in next years world cup. Which all adds pressure especially being hosts. Throw in the constant speculation and the price tag. Mort

The lad is a fantastic talent. He is 20 years old, therefore 8 or 9 years away from his peak and he's already a superb player. There's a reason the Brazilians aren't panicking and a reason he isn't in a rush to move to Europe, confidence in his own ability. He will be one of the best players in the world.

Mancini has said in a press conference that the title race is over.

Even though it pretty much is I am still wary after last season so do you think he genuinely believes this or is it his attempt at playing mind games, personally I think it's a mixture of the two.

His mind games are terrible. he is pathetic

Mario Gotze is the best young player in the world atm for me. He's younger than Isco and Neymar and a better player imo.
