Good stuff
Honestly neymar can't come to Barca and if Neymar wants to return to Spain his only option is Real Madrid because its the only club that can afford him without losing someone valuable like compared to Barca. Barca would be in deep debt if somehow Neymar is in Barca. this is coming from a passionate Barca fan. Neymar made his choice and now he can't go to Barca no matter what.
I think Coutinho still work at Barca if the coach plays him the right position and gives him faith. the reason we brought Coutinho is because barca fans and the board thought he can bring something new and the same style as neymar and he tried ,but without on the right position it's hard for him.
love the history! thanks so much.
Fanstic show. Great job, guys. Força.
