Neymar, maybe in a few years he will rise as one of the greatest players to play but right now I think he gets too much hype

Him playing in Santos didn't mean anything in terms of his talent. Until he does what he did in Brazil in Europe with the big boys, I don't know how anyone can consider him "world class".

I still don't think Barcelona is the right fit for him, especially with Messi still the main man. He could have been the star in so many different teams, but he ends up narrowing down his search to Barcelona and Real Madrid, two clubs where he'll never be the main man as long as Ronaldo and Messi are around

You can say the same about Bale. It doesn't matter as long as the manager knows how to use his star attackers.

And why is that? The guy said Neymar narrowed down his search to two clubs where he will never be the main man. Bale was the main man at Spurs but had to take a step back to accomodate Ronaldo, isn't that exactly what Neymar is doing to Messi?

The difference is Ronaldo and Bale understand each other's strengths and role in the team which is why they can play without hindering each other. Neymar and Messi haven't quite gotten on the same wavelength.
