Its frightening to think Neymar may not even have peaked yet or may not even be anywhere near his peak. Does anyone have Messi and Ronaldo's stats when they were 23?

When he was in Brazil i thought it was inevitable he was just a show pony who bullied far inferior players. I used to love his Ronalidnho esque skills but never thought he had this potential

Not really fair to compare the brazilian league with la liga, best to take the neymars seasons in spain and compare it to what messi had at the same age

Different stats

It is utterly unfair that Barca have comfortably 3 of the 5 best players in the world. Its actually probable that neymar and Suarez are on Ronaldo's level now.

Going on this season alone, they are both way ahead.

yeah messi and ronaldo would have scored shedloads in brazil

You can only beat whats in front of you.

Neymar has also outperformed both Messi & Ronaldo (at their peak) on the international stage

Messi scored 47 goals @ 22 and 53 @ 23.

and 38 when he was 21

That makes me very happy for Messi.

Neymar is comfortably the best international footballer that's no contest

Might be wrong but wasn't it you who said Oxlade-Chamberlain was better?

and messi is comfortably the better club player

Whichever one it is, is now the 2nd best player in the world.

Personally I'd say Suarez at present but Neymar could be the closest to Messi long term, Neymar will be greater than C. Ronaldo

For the time being you'd have to say Neymar is overrated and wil not truly earn his status until he does it on a wet and windy midweek night in Stoke.

Suarez did it

Exactly.

"Might be wrong but wasn't it you who said Oxlade-Chamberlain was better?"

Yes. It was him.
