Memphis Depay

[Messigician]

Well Depay must decide. We can't do anything if PSG comes again and triple our Offer money wise. Let's not kid ourselves, it's all about the money

This is why you fucking get deals over the line early before this shit happens.

Where are the football players who want to play for their childhood dreamteam ?? Everyone wants money nowadays.

Players born in 90' or 95' grew up with Milan, Man Utd and Arsenal.

Yet all of them joined Barca, Real, City, Chelsea etc.

A current generation of players also didn't join their childhood-dreams clubs but current rich and famous clubs.

When are you gonna drop the Depay analysis ?, I need to know if he's a choir boy or if the look in his eyes is the right one.

Depay in his final season at Utd only started one game, a cup match against a low division team. When he left he was quoted as saying he wanted to ‘play more freely, be important for the team, play in a top European league and for a manager with a clear style of play', MEN

That was a few seasons ago, and Lyon was deemed the fit.

PSG, Juventus or Barca?

Yeah he was very hyped when bought but left United having scored two goals..

And after five seasons in Lyon, where he got to be important, he placed 4th twice, 3rd twice and 7th once, in a league where both Monaco and Lille managed to even win the league in the same period. He didn't even lead his team to 2nd place. Lyon were placed 2nd the two years prior to Depay joining.

But this year he at least scored 20 goals (8 of which were penalties) and assisted 12 (with a pass completion percentage of 70,5), so after 5 years he is suddenly a good fit for Barcelona.

Let's see if he gets to be important in Barcelona and what he'll bring then, or if he doesn't get to be important and what he can bring in that case. I'm starting to think that even I am over-rating him.

Of course it's hard to bring in good players who are starters for Nederlands and are free of contract. These aren't some scrubs nobody wants.

starter for netherlands 10 or 20 years ago would have meant something. starter for the current side? not so much.

can't even remember when they've last had a national team this bad.

Do you want Barca to sign Depay or pass on him?

Assuming salary is reasonable and around what was said to be offered for Wijnaldum?

are you going to haunt me forever with this question?

i've already said that i prefer depay over wijnaldum. so it's a yes, but a cautios one.

for me it seems he's a luxury player, like fekir for example. a guy that when in the mood can be very good, but otherwise he disappoints when you're expecting the least.

like one of those sports cars that is high maintenance and you drive only a couple of times a year.

just too many question marks around him. for a left side forward it would be a good stop-gap. for a striker at barcelona he's nowhere near the required level, for various reasons.

Aye asked it a few times as never got a response.

Preferring one over the other is irrelevant really just if want Barca to sign Depay. So thanks for clarifying.

Why do you want Barca to sign him? As better than what is there?

For me he improves the squad easily and is good enough for that and Barca dont have money to buy the players would ideally want as starters and will be a good signing if he arrives.

can't say that i "want" us to sign him. as in i'm not really thrilled on the transfer. but he's free at least.

but i do recognize he has above average technique and is smart enough to link-up with the other attackers. surely better than braithwaite and more talented than griezmann.

would be good to have so as to give fati room to breathe and not start every game just yet.

Aye but you said if had choice you do want Barca to sign him rather than not.

Is not as good a player as Griezmann but could be better at CF and running in behind or at least the percieved threat of pace where teams not so happy to play high line.

Far better than duds like Braithwaite and can cover out wide.

Very good signing for free.. if get him.

yeah, at this point i would like us to get him.

griezmann is a better player if you have a defensive team and your manager is simeone or deschamps. otherwise depay has more talent and is better suited to a club like barcelona.

When are you gonna drop the Depay analysis ?, I need to know if he's a choir boy or if the look in his eyes is the right one.

We'll see after a few matches.

Also, a player needs to have both a right attitude but also a quality.

Malcom was confident and had the right attitude, but lacked quality.

About Depay, he has tattoos and looks kinda dangerous.
It remains to be seen whether he is a real deal or a fake ass Instagram bad boy.
