Joey Barton says Neymar overrated
Controversial former England international Joey Barton sank his claws into Brazil starlet Neymar on Tuesday, taking to Twitter to dismiss the South American’s abilities.

Former Manchester City and Newcastle midfielder Barton, who now is on a season loan with Marseille from Queens Park Rangers, had already mocked Neymar as ‘overrated’ after Brazil’s friendly loss to England last month.
