Memphis Depay

[DonAK]

Memphis seem to be well liked by his team mates in the Dutch NT and he's grown up from his Man Utd days where he was quite arrogant and seemingly immature.

Griezmann is a better player than him, but Memphis is more versatile which will help him. I also think he'll work really hard given the contract length he went for. He's really betting on himself here and this is what he's worked for ever since his Man Utd move failed.

To get a second chance for a big club.

I'm not saying he'll be World Class or great for us. He is what he is. Going to be solid. Especially given he came for relatively low wages compared to most of the team and for free.

Allows us to move on from Dembele or Griezmann and go all-in for a Haaland or Lukaku next summer if our finances allow it. Might even allow us to make a bet on a young winger too if we get rid of OD.

He is an upgrade over Braithwaite and he is free. Good singing.

Kinda amusing how salty some United fans are when it comes to Depay these days.

Imagine Dembele leaving for free and becoming good player. That would hurt.

Regardless of Griezmann being better or not, I think Depay will have a better chemistry with Messi than all our other attackers.

Officially a Barcelona player.
Welcome Memphis Depay!

I am jealous

Hopefully he doesn't look for Messi every time like a pussy

 

[Barcilliant]

Why is it taking so long to shift from other players to players?
This is so annoying. It's been 12 plus hours since Depay was officially announced as a Barcelona player.

True.

 

[JerseyAddict]

Hopefully all three are available

Word, word!!!

I don't know, I have serious doubts about Depay... He did well at Lyon, not denying that and we had some good experiences from signing players from Lyon with Abidal, Umtiti was a wall in his first season but Depay just doesn't strike me as a player who could repeat performances from Lyon and PSV to bigger clubs.. He was a flop at United, gotta feeling the same will happen with Barca.. The good part is he is coming for free and we can still sell him next summer if he turns up a flop and get some money from his transfer.. Just hope Depay's arrival doesn't cost Fati prescious minutes on the field..

I think his mentality is the same as Braithwaite's. He seems to have matured into a humble, hard working and ambitious player. Let's hope his footballing qualities live up to the expectations.
