neymar is also skinny.if he is neymar 2.0 then madrid should buy him,give him no 11 shirt because he will be the perfect answer to us buying neymar but jokes apart is he is 75% as good as neymar is and is leftfooted then we should sign him up and he wouldn't cost up to 10m,i read somewhere that he has a 6m release clause and or his contract is expiring next season and we should replace our lavezzi 2.0(alexis) with neymar 2.0(neilton) then.
Frankly, the comparisons between the two must stop. Neilton isn't the new Neymar - that moniker was invented by British tabloids when English clubs started to show interest and because of his looks - slight build, and that haircut (but he certainly has taken those Neymar 2.0 mentions seriously though as every time he shows up in the social medias, he's done something to his looks to look a bit more like him
)
That's not to say he doesn't have potential, or that he doesn't have his moments of brilliance: but so far he's been really good with the Santos youth team, while he's shone only sporadically when playing with the senior team - he's had a handful of really good games, but for the rest was largely ineffective (but then again, so was the whole of the Santos attack.....). Part of it may be due to his difficulties with the club (he is expected to go Botafogo during this transfer window, although he did say last week he'd rather stay with Santos if he can), but most of it is down to the fact that, simply put, he doesn't have the same amount of talent
Although none of the current Santos youth players is a Neymar 2.0 at this stage (there's a reason why the club potentially jeopardized its financial situation in the not-so-distant future to get Leandro Damião......), I'd keep more of an eye on Gabriel, who's been much more impressive considering his age. Diego Cardoso, while not a flair player by any stretch of the imagination, may be more "industrious" player but has improved markedly over the last year or so as well - both are still very young too
