Not a striker, not a winger, and not even world class like Griezmann and Coutinho were at their previous clubs. What a waste of funds when we clearly have more urgent areas to fill than adding yet another second striker to the line-up. Club has no sporting project, no vision, and no idea how to build squads. Won't be wasting my time with this season.

His movement is good and he can finish but ultimately he’s not Barca level. Very strange signing

tbf, what is Barca level these days?

I think he'll end up another flop as everything still has to run through Messi, as always. will probably end up playing him on the wing

Ye not good to many players for the center position, best attacking player in the Dutch team by a mile but thats not saying much cus we are dire in attack.

Incredibly wasteful in attack tries to shoot as soon as he gets the ball and only ever really good when hes the main man in the attack as he has proven in Manchester aswell as in the Dutch team when he was bad when Robben and van Persie
were still around.

Can't play winger either hes basicall Griezmann just less good lol. Odd signing considering the backs you still got.

We won the continental treble 5 years ago. We wont La Liga twice in a row within the last 3 years. We're still an elite team. Just because we're in a down-period doesn't mean we have to settle for mediocre talents.

If there aren't any proper talents this season we should have saved the funds, write this season off, and wait for proper talents for the positions we need next year. There are talented midfielders all over, talented enough to rejuvenate the midfield and make us world class again. Wingers are a bit more of a tricky option, but there is a proven goalscorer in Haaland with a release clause next year.

There's a path to get back to the top again, it just requires patience and foresight, but instead we waste obscene amounts of money on shortsighted transfers like Depay, Griezmann, and Coutinho.

At least he has the necessary strength to play in the center in stark contrast to Griezmann (and Messi). All things considered by far the best option on the market.

Jesus. You dont write off a season like that. And god knows if we even have a shot at Haaland (cant wait till the hype dies down). And its not like Depay would be a big investment, worst case we need a backup striker anyway.

Edit: He absolutely earned his move to a big club as well.

Best midfielder around
Fabrizio Romano says he will come. That’s as good as it being official and coming from the club itself. Not sure what to think. Don’t really want him here.
