Hi Eds,

The Neymar thing is puzzling me a little.

I was under the impression that Neymar was seen as the future of Barca, that they were going to build a team around him and that if anyone was going to be "cashed in on" it would be Messi.

We all know just how much power Messi wields at Barcelona so I was wondering whether he has put his foot down once again and said he is not interested in going and everyone at the club is toeing the Messi line and are now considering letting Neymar go.

I may have this all wrong so i'm ready for the abuse if I am but it puzzles me that they would let Neymar go and not Messi. Messi is undoubtedly incredibly talented but at 5 years older than Neymar and still likely to command a similar, if not higher, fee at this point it would make sense to sell him to me.

Thanks in advance Eds, all the best.

{Ed002's Note - It is not related to Messi that a move is being considered but other matters.}

002, is it as simple as "Naymar wants to be the single star of a team" as we are reading elsewhere, or is it something deeper than that?

I'm not asking for specifics, just clearance on whether a footballer is actually that bothered about something which to others wouldn't matter a bit, while playing in one of the top teams in the world and winning trophies year on year.
