Former Barcelona player and coach Johan Cruyff has expressed his opposition to the signing of Brazilian sensation Neymar.
Barça star forward Lionel Messi himself recently avowed that Neymar's services would bring a totally new dimension to the attacking front of the Catalan side.
However, Cruyff has yet to share Messi's opinion, in which he appeared unconvinced that the Brazilian could work effectively in the same side as the Argentinian.
Speaking to Marca, the Dutch legend said: "I wouldn't put two captains on the same ship.
"We have to learn from the past," Cruyff added, referring to previous instances where big names have failed to work together in the same side.
