How good will Neymar get?

Banana-Rama said:

strange thread, you cannot describe the success or failure of a signing by giving them a number out of ten, what does a player have to do to get 4 out of 10 instead of a 3 or 2? either a player turns out to be a success at the club or he doesn't, this rating players out of ten is nonsense...

I'm basically asking how good people think Neymar has the potential to become, on a scale of 0 to 10. But yeah, I realize it is a bit of a weird thread

Never really wanted him in the first place, we could have got Bale for that money. But now that he is here im hoping he turns out to be a legend.
though realistically my expectations are on a par to that i have for Sanchez-meaning Decent players.

P.S - Ronnie is incomparable, anything less than the best on what ever scale, is a JOKE!

Even for careers, Ronaldinho would be an 8.5.

Xavi, Iniesta would probably be 9 or 9.5, same with Zidane and Ronaldo.

Messi, Maradona, Pele, Muller, Beckenbauer, Cruyff etc. would be 10s.

Unless you want to lump all the all-time-greats into one number (10)

I was thinking career wise. Xavi-Iniesta formed two of the best teams ever and have won it all multiple times. Surely, that outweighs Ronaldinho's career achievements. Ronaldinho at his peak is obviously the best player of the three. But he didn't sustain it long enough.

The rate at which Messi is going, he will surely be a 10 if he isn't one already. He is an era-defining player like Maradona, Pele or Cruyff. Zidane and Ronaldo are similar but they didn't have the same type of dominance over the rest of the players like Messi does. It could be because there were better players then or teams are more of a collective now than a bit more individualistic like before. All subjective of course.

For the lower numbers is difficult to be precise, but for the higher ones could be pretty much accurate. And for that part:



Does it mean that all players are equally successful for a club? For example - I rate Sylvinho as a successful player for Barca. But is he as successful as Eric Abidal in terms of general influence, solidity or class? Edmilson vs Busquets? Larsson vs Eto'o?

signings can usually be put it into 3 categories, bad signing, good signing, or great signing, you would describe ibrahimovic as a bad signing, larsson would be a good signing, ronaldinho would be a great signing, there is no need to complicate things by rating them out of ten...
