He will do very well in la liga when he eventually gets there.

Don't think he will come to the prem but if he ever does i hope its chelsea and not us shelling out for the showpony.

I really dont see why people are calling this a wonder goal....

Tevez and Nasri both did things like this last season in the prem.
Silva too, I think, but he missed in typical Silva fashion

His feet are an absolute joy to watch, and you can only beat the players in front of you. Not sure if he'd suit the prem, but the boy has sweet feet and a languid style I could watch all day.

Did I mention I think he has good feet?

My granny could have waltzed, and foxtrotted, through that defence!

I'm not questioning your gran's poise, but I doubt it would've looked as good. Great players make good players look like dicks. Why are we so certain the guys who got skinned are so completely lame. I don't care if I see a goal like that in an under 16's game, it was still a lovely bit of football, and shuld be appreciated as such. People are spoilt these days.

Hang on, are you on the wind up?

Funny how people just can't accept someone who's not a city player scoring a wonder goal. Had Aguerro scored that, everyone would be creaming themselves, none of this 'the defenders are shite' crap.

Look's like a good goal to me.
It strikes me as somewhat strange that some people have to question the defending.
A lot of goals probably the majority can be put down to bad defending.
It happens in the Prem as much as any other league so this stuff that people spout about he wouldn't have been able to do it against prem defences is a little bit bollox.
I think he might have been able to do that to Shitus Bramble.
There are defenders like Pantsil(Mr.Own Goal) and Mr.Dunne who have lost their teams matches as a result of their defending.
Jamie Carragher,Sébastien Squillaci and I'm sure there are plenty more inthe EPL who ain't that good

It's a good goal, got a little lucky but that is usually the case with most goals of this nature. When I was thinking about whether it was a 'creaming' yourself goal I didn't compare it with a City goal, my mind flicked to Dennis Bergkamp's goal and this looked a lot more out of control than his.

Blue tints may makes me think our goals are better than they are, but they don't cause truly great goals to be diminished and this wasn't one of them.

I'm sure everyone in world football will agree that quality of defending in Premier League is million miles better than in Brazil.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

It's a fantastic goal as far as I'm concerned. Moaning about the defending is ridiculous. As if the premiership's defenders are impenetrable. I seem to remember even Vidic falling on his arse when Torres simply knocked the ball past him - Lescott too has been turned inside out by the likes of DJ Campbell! These are very good defenders too. Neymar has world class potential - it was a lovely piece of skill. So fluid in movement and so natural - deserves all the praise imo.

Absolutely
Like I seem to recall people posting these WOW YouTube clips of Jo just before we signed him
And we all know how he performed against Premier League defenders.

Whenever you see goals like this you have to put them in their proper context

You are probably right that the quality of EPL defending is better than Brasil.A million miles maybe not.Chelski have Alex and Luiz who started their career in Brasil,the rags have a couple,Arse aswell.
It was a good goal.
