Last season a team from that one team league, who are not the one team, beat the team who finished second in the Premier League home and away, knocked out the team who finished third in the Premier League and inflicted a heavy defeat on the side who finished 2nd in the Bundesliga, beating them home and away.
What does that say about these other leagues? Why should he be playing in them?
The French league is nothing more than a proxy for the Italians until the Italians can sort their shit out.
Neymar wants to be Messi but Spain already has Messi so he went to an Aldi league to be its Aldi Messi.
He didn't want to play for Barcelona any longer, so what were his options?
The Premier League is a weak league where, as you say, even a shit team like Leicester can win it and players like John Stones, Gary Cahill, Kyle Walker and Luke Shaw are considered elite defenders. It's a Home Bargains league with Harrods prices.
Maybe he could have gone to Real Madrid and maybe he'd have been the main man there, but people have been saying for years that La Liga is a league full of bad teams. Personally I think it is the strongest league in the world top to bottom, but there is no denying there are some weak defences in the lower half of the table and he'd have ripped them to bits much as he has here.
Nobody in Germany could afford him and, as with France, that is often considered a one team league. Same applies to Italy.
Wherever he went, or if he stayed where he was, he'd be playing against shit teams in the league most weeks. He went to a team where it'd be focused on getting the best out of him and making sure he could maximise his potential. He is too good to be a support act.
