Neymar and Suarez are both clearly better than Muller. I see that as a very big stretch to try and say otherwise. Muller isn't even the best offensive player on his team.
I would put both Neymar and Suarez above Müller, but I can understand where Deficient Mode comes from. There isn't an aspect of the game Müller is bad at. Possibly the best positional player in football, clinical finisher, good playmaker, awesome work ethic. He doesn't have the flair of Neymar or Suarez, but he's crazy efficient. Awesome player, one of my favourites
Neymar has some tools that Müller doesn't have and Müller has some tools that Neymar doesn't. Different kinds of players. As WBS mentioned above, he excels at a lot of aspects of the game despite his awkward, gangly appearance. His ability to influence the match without the ball is
unparalleled, too.
Muller produces, for team and country. On a level that's equal or better than pretty much everyone in the last five years.
He doesn't have the physical gifts/moves than the flashier players. But he works hard, and smarter than most. I'll take that everyday over the flash. So will any good coach.
Not a fan of Bayern, luke warm at best on the Germans. But Muller's smarts and production can't be dismissed
Barcelona has the three best players in the world right now.
Really crazy for a club to be able to say that.
Neymar and Suarez are both clinical finishers, good playmakers and have awesome work ethic. They're also crazy efficient.
Barcelona is scary
They have talent, chemistry and great coaching
I'll remember this one coming from you.
If you see the light and become a Barça fan I'd welcome you with open arms.

Neymar found guilty of tax fraud, ordered to pay $52 million
Neymar is benefitting from playing in the system and the players that surround him. He will probably be the next WPOY not named Messi or Penaldo
Neymar is even better for Brazil than he is for Barca. I don't think it's a system thing. He's just that good. Since Messi has come back from his injury, I'd argue Neymar's form hasn't been "as" great.
Barcelona's attacking line is insane, but I think comparing their attacking lineup and Bayern's is a more interesting discussion than it initially seems...at least with Messi only in A/A- form rather than at his very best. Bayern certainly have no Messi, and Neymar is a cut above Bayern's other forwards; but Co-Co, Mueller, the Ghosts of Robbery and Gotze are all closer to him than they are to Barca's 4th best forward...especially with how well the Bayern boys play together. And Lewandowski's at Suarez's level...at least now that he's settled in.
That bevy of game-breakers lets Bayern attack with only a little less lethality than Barca does; when they pour on 4, 5, or even 6 of those guys at once.
Suarez is certainly better than Lewa. Not a knock against Lewandowski but Suarez is the best 9 in the world, and it's difficult to make a case against it.
And maybe I misunderstood your post, but Messi is back to his best form.
I would take an in form Robben, especially in 'big games' over anyone on Barca except Messi. Actually Robben seems forgotten about or underrated far too often because of his injury issues and perceived on field antics. I used to do it myself (I was more mad that he didn't take his chances at the WC in 2010, but bygones are bygones).
To me the two teams are not far away in talent and I think that if played correctly Bayern have more talent in midfield and on defence, though Suarez and Neymar have a sizeable gap over Muller and Lewandowski (IMO).
Still, there's more to it than just the individuals and I would love to see Bayern/Barca play.
Wonder how big the fines in this are relative to the amount he kept from taxes.
