Chelsea sent Neymar transfer message
Former Chelsea defender William Gallas has said that the club should have spent the money they used to buy Esteveo Willian on Neymar, who would have had more chance of adapting to the Premier League.
He told Lord Ping:
“The issue with him might be that sometimes clubs think players can adapt straight away to a new league but it doesn’t work like that.
”There are too many obstacles like the language, lifestyle, even the weather. When you come to England it’s not easy so you have to think about that when signing new players.
“Just because you pay so much money it doesn’t mean that they don’t need time to adapt.
“If I had the money I would’ve preferred to spend it on a player like Neymar. Someone with experience who will know how to adapt very quickly, it’s harder for young players.
”You can say that the money is an investment for the future but the Premier League is much tougher than La Liga, Ligue 1, Serie A and even the Bundesliga, it’s far more physical.
”It can be hard for players, even for Neymar. Because Neymar needs space and he also needs rest, playing every three games can be really intense.
”But it would be good to see him in the Premier League and fans will love him too, I’m not sure if he could work with Mikel Arteta at Arsenal but Neymar to Chelsea, why not?”
